شَبَاهٌ (Lth, JK, K) and شُبَاهٌ (CK [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA]) A certain grain, like that called حُرْف (Lth, JK, K) in colour, [see حُرْفٌ and رَشَادٌ,] which is taken, i. e. swallowed, as a medicine. (Lth, JK.) شَبِيهٌ: see شِبْهٌ, in four places.

أَشْبَهُ [More, and most, like]. أَشْبَهُ مِنَ التَّمْرَةِ بِالتَّمْرَةِ [More like than the date to the date] is a prov.: and so أَشْبَهُ مِنَ المَآءِ بِالمَآءِ [More like than water to water]. (Meyd.) b2: [And More, or most, suitable. One says, هٰذَا أَشْبَهُ بِكَ This is more suitable to thee. And هٰذَا الأَشْبَهُ This is the most suitable.]

مَشَابِهُ: see شَبَهٌ, of which it is said to be an anomalous pl. مُشْتَبِهٌ [part. n. of 8, q. v.]. مُشْتَبِهَاتٌ, (S,) and ↓ مُشَبِّهَاتٌ, [thus agreeably with an explanation of its verb by IAar, (see 8, last sentence,)] (JK,) or أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَةٌ, and ↓ مُشَبَّهَةٌ like مُعَظَّمَةٌ, (K,) Things, or affairs, that are confused or dubious [by reason of their resembling one another or from any other cause]: (JK, S, K:) [and uncertain: (see an ex. of مُشَبَّه in this sense in a verse cited voce سَنَفَ:)]

↓ مُشْتَبِهًا وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِه ٍ, in the Kur [vi. 99], means resembling one another so that they become confounded, or confused, or dubious, and not resembling one another &c. (TA.) مُتَشَابِهٌ Consimilar, or conformable, in its several parts: thus مُتَشَابِهًا means in the Kur xxxix. 24. (Jel.) And مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ Things like, or resembling, one another. (JK, S.) b2: See also مُشْتَبِهٌ. b3: مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ in the Kur iii. 5 means Verses that are equivocal, or ambiguous; i. e. susceptible of different interpretations: (Ksh:) or verses unintelligible; such as the commencements [of many] of the chapters: (Jel:) or the مُتَشَابِه in the Kur is that of which the meaning is not to be learned from its words; and this is of two sorts; one is that of which the meaning is known by referring it to what is termed مُحْكَم [q. v.]; and the other is that of which the knowledge of its real meaning is not attainable in any way: (TA:) or it means what is not understood without repeated con-sideration: (TA in art. فسر:) Ed-Dahhák is related to have explained المُحْكَمَاتُ as meaning “ what have not been abrogated; ” and المُتَشَابِهَاتُ as meaning what have been abrogated. (TA in the present art.)

فِلَاحَةٌ, (thus in my copies of the S, and in the L and Msb,) with kesr, (Msb,) [agreeably with general analogy,] or ↓ فَلَاحَةٌ, with fet-h, (K, [but I think that fet-h is here a mistake for kesr, because فَلَاحَهٌ deviates from general analogy, and because it is a general rule of the author of the K to omit the mention of the vowel of a word when it is fet-h,]) Agriculture; or the art, work, or occupation, of ploughing, tilling, or cultivating, land. (S, L, Msb, K.) فَلِيحَةٌ The pericarp (سِنْفَة) of the [tree called]

(S.) b3: Also (assumed tropical:) Fresh milk upon which is poured رَائِب [i.e. curdled, or thick, or churned, milk]: (S, K:) if dates and clarified butter are put into it, it is [termed] عَوْبَثَانِىٌّ.

عور

1 عَوِرَ, (O, K,) said of a man, (O,) aor. ـْ inf. n. عَوَرٌ, (S, O, K,) He was, or became, blind of one eye: (K:) [or he became one-eyed; wanting one eye: or one of his eyes sank in its socket: or one of his eyes dried up: see what next follows:] as also عَارَ, aor. ـَ and ↓ اعورّ; (K;) and ↓ اعوارّ. (Sgh, K.) And عَوِرَتْ عَيْنُهُ, (Az, S, IKtt, O, Msb,) aor. ـْ (Az, Msb,) inf. n. عَوَرٌ; (IKtt, Msb;) and عَارَتْ, aor. ـَ (Az, S, IKtt, O) and تِعَارُ; (IKtt, TA;) and ↓ اعورّت; (Az, S, IKtt, O;) and ↓ اعوارّت; (Az, O, TA;) His eye became blind: (TA:) or became wanting: or sank in its socket: (Msb:) or dried up. (IKtt, TA.) Ibn-Ahmar says, أَعَارَتْ عَيْنُهُ أَمْ لَمْ تَعَارَا [Has his eye become blind or has it not indeed become blind?] meaning تَعَارَنْ; but, pausing, he makes it to end with ا: in عَوِرَتْ, the و is preserved unaltered because it is so preserved in the original form, which is اِعْوَرَّتْ, on account of the quiescence of the letter immediately preceding: then the augmentatives, the ا and the teshdeed, are suppressed, and thus the verb becomes عَوِرَ: for that اعورّت is the original form is shown by the form of the sister-verbs, اِسْوَدَّ and اِحْمَرَّ; and the analogy of verbs significant of faults and the like, اِعْرَجَّ and اِعْمَىَّ as the original forms of عَرِجَ and عَمِىَ; though these may not have been heard. (S, O. [See also صَيِدَ.]) b2: عَارَتِ الرَّكِيَّةُ, aor. ـُ [or تَعْوَرُ or تَعَارُ?], (tropical:) The well became filled up. (TA.) A2: عَارَهُ, (O, K,) aor. ـُ (TA;) and ↓ أَعُوَرَهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِعْوَارٌ; (TA;) and ↓ عوّرهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَعْوِيرٌ; (TA;) He rendered him blind of one eye. (K.) And عَارَ عَيْنَهُ, (S, M, IKtt, O, Msb,) aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عَوْرٌ: (IKtt;) and (more commonly, M) ↓ أَعْوَرَهَا; and ↓ عوّرها; (S, M, IKtt, Msb;) He put out his eye: (IKtt, Msb: *) or made it to sink in its socket. (Msb.) Some say that عُرْتُ عَيْنَهُ and ↓ أَعَارَهَا [sic] are from عَائِرٌ, q. v. (TA.) b2: عَارَ الرَّكِيَّةَ and ↓ اعارها signify the same as ↓ عوّرها, (tropical:) He marred, or spoiled, the well, so that the water dried up: (A, TA:) or he filled it up with earth, so that the springs thereof became stopped up: and in like manner, عُيُونَ الميَاهِ ↓ عوّر he stopped up the sources of the waters: (Sh, TA:) and عَيْنَ الرَّكِيَّةِ ↓ عوّر he filled up the source of the well, so that the water dried up. (S.) A3: عَارَهُ, aor. ـُ and يَعِيرُهُ, (S, K,) or the aor. is not used, or, accord. to IJ, it is scarcely ever used, (TA,) or some say يُعُورُهُ, (Yaakoob,) or يَعِيرُهُ, (Aboo-Shibl,) He, or it, took, and went away with, him, or it: (S, O, K:) or destroyed him, or it. (K, TA.) One says, مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ الجَرَادِ عَارَهُ I know not what man went away with him, or it: (S, O, TA:) or took him, or it. (TA.) It is said to be only used in negative phrases: but Lh mentions أَرَاكَ عُرْتَهُ, and عِرْتَهُ, I see thee, or hold thee, to have gone away with him, or it: [see also art. عير:] IJ says, It seems that they have scarcely ever used the aor. of this verb because it occurs in a prov. respecting a thing that has passed away. (TA.) A4: See also 3 in art. عر.2 عَوَّرَ see 1, in five places: A2: and see 3.3 عاورهُ الشَّىْءَ He did with the thing like as he (the other) did with it: (S:) [or he did the thing with him by turns; for] المُعَاوَرَةُ is similar to المُدَاوَلَةُ, with respect to a thing that is between two, or mutual. (TA. [See also 6.]) b2: See also 4.

A2: عاور المَكَايِيلَ i. q. عَايَرَهَا; [q. v. in art. عير;] (S, O, K;) as also ↓ عوّرها. (K.) 4 أَعْوَرَ see 1, in four places.

A2: اعارهُ الشَّىْءَ, (Az, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِعَارَةٌ and ↓ عَارَةٌ; like as you say أَطَاعَهُ, inf. n. إِطَاعَةٌ and طَاعَةٌ, and أَجَابَهُ, inf. n. إِجَابَةٌ and جَابَةٌ; (Az, Msb;) [or rather عَارَةٌ is a quasi-inf. n.; and so is طَاعَةٌ, and جَابَةٌ;] and اعارهُ مِنْهُ; and إِيَّاهُ ↓ عاورهُ; (K;) [accord. to the TK, all signify He lent him the thing: but the second seems rather to signify he lent him of it: and respecting the third, see 3 above.] For three exs., see 10. سَيْفٌ أُعِيرَتْهُ المَنِيَّةُ (tropical:) [A sword which fate has had lent to it] is an appellation applied to a man, by En-Nábighah. (TA.) [See also 4 in art. عير.]

A3: أَعُوَرَ (tropical:) It (a thing) appeared; and was, or became, within power, or reach. (IAar, K, TA.) One says, أَعْوَرَ لَكَ الصَّيْدُ (tropical:) The object of the chase has become within power, or reach, to thee; (S, O, TA;) and so أَعُوَرَكَ. (TA.) b2: (assumed tropical:) It (a thing) had a place that was a cause of fear, i. e. what is termed عَوْرَةٌ, appearing [in it]. (Ham p. 34.) (tropical:) He (a horseman) had, appearing in him, a place open and exposed to striking (S, O, TA) and piercing. (TA.) (tropical:) It (a place of abode) had a gap, or breach, appearing in it: (TA:) and [so] a house, or chamber, by its wall's being in a state of demolition. (IKtt, TA.) 5 تَعَوَّرَ see 6: see also 10, in two places: and see 5 in art. عير.6 تعاوروا الشَّىْءِ, and ↓ اِعْتَوَرُوهُ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) and ↓ تعوّروهُ, (S, O, K,) They took the thing, or did it, by turns; syn. تَدَاوَلُوهُ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ: (S, O, TA:) the و is apparent [not changed into ا] in اعتوروا because it signifies the same as تعاوروا. (S.) Aboo-Kebeer says, وَإِذَا الكُمَاةُ تَعَاوَرُوا طَعْنَ الكُلَى

[And when the men clad in armour interchange the piercing of the kidneys]. (TA.) And in a trad. it is said, يَتَعَاوَرُونَ عَلَى مِنبرِى They will ascend my pulpit one after another, by turns; whenever one goes, another coming after him. (TA.) One says also, تعاور القَوْمُ فُلَانًا, meaning The people aided one another in beating such a one, one after another. (TA.) And تَعَاوَرْنَا فُلَانًا ضَرْبًا We beat such a one by turns; I beating him one time, and another another time, and a third another time. (TA.) And القَتِيلَ رَجُلَانِ ↓ اعتور Each of the two men [in turn] struck the slain man. (Mgh.) And تَعَاوَرَتِ الرِّيَاحُ رَسْمَ الدَّارِ (tropical:) (tropical:) The winds blew by turns upon, or over, the remains that marked the site of the house, or dwelling; (S, O; *) syn. تَنَاوَبَتْهُ, (S,) or تَدَاوَلَتْهُ; one time blowing from the south, and another time from the north, and another time from the east, and another time from the west: (Az, TA:) or blew over them perseveringly, so as to obliterate them; (Lth, TA;) a signification doubly tropical: but Az says that this is a mistake. (TA.) And doubly tropical is the saying ↓ الاِسْمُ تَعْتَوِرُهُ حَرَكَاتُ الإِعْرَابِ (tropical:) (tropical:) [The noun has the vowels of desinential syntax by turns; having at one time رَفْعٌ, at another نَصْبٌ, and at another خَفْضٌ]. (TA.) تَعَاوُرٌ and ↓ اِعْتِوَارٌ denote that this has the place of this, and this the place of this: one says هٰذَا مَرَّةً وَهٰذَا مَرَّةً ↓ اِعْتَوَارَاهُ [They two took it, or did it, by turns; this, one time; and this, one time]: but you do not say اِعْتَوَرَ زَيْدٌ عَمْرًا. (IAar.) b2: تَعَاوَرْنَا العَوَارِىَّ (tropical:) We lent loans, one to another: (Az:) and هُمْ يَتَعَاوَرُونُ العَوَارِىَّ (tropical:) They lend loans, one to another. (S, * Msb.)

It is said in the story of the [golden] calf, بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ↓ مِنْ حَلْىٍ تَعَوَّرَهُ i. e. اِسْتَعَارُوهُ [Of ornaments which the children of Israel had asked to be lent, or had borrowed]. (TA.) b2: You say also ↓ اِسْتَعَرْتُ مِنْهُ الشَّىْءَ فَأَعَارَنِيهِ, (Mgh, Msb, K, *) and اِسْتَعَرْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ, (Mgh, TA,) suppressing the preposition, (Mgh,) I asked of him the loan of the thing [and he lent it to me]. (K, TA.) and ↓ اِسْتَعَرْتُ مِنْهُ عَارِيَّةً فَأَعَارَنِيهَا [I asked of him a loan and he lent it to me]. (TA.) And اِسْتَعَارَهُ ثَوْبًا

إِيَّاهُ ↓ فَأَعَارَهُ [He asked him to lend to him a garment, or piece of cloth, and he lent it to him]. (S, O.) b3: استعار سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ (tropical:) He raised and transferred an arrow from his quiver. (TA in arts. عور and عير.) b4: [Hence, استعار لَفْظًا (tropical:) He used a word metaphorically.]11 إِعْوَاْرَّ see 1, first quarter, in two places.

(TA, voce رَوَحٌ.) عَوِرٌ (tropical:) A thing having no keeper or guardian; [lit., having a gap, or an opening, or a breach, exposing it to thieves and the like;] as also ↓ مُعْوِرٌ. (TA.) You say ↓ مَكَانٌ مُعْوِرٌ (tropical:) A place in which one fears: (TA:) a place in which (فِيهِ [in one of my copies of the S مِنْهُ]) one fears being cut [or pierced (see 4)]; (S, TA;) as also ↓ مَكَانٌ عَوْرَةٌ; which is doubly tropical: (TA:) and ↓ طَرِيقٌ مُعْوِرَةٌ (tropical:) a road in which is an opening, in which one fears losing his way and being cut off: and ↓ مُعْوِرٌ signifies within the power of a person; open, and exposed: appearing; and within power, or reach: and a place feared.

عَوْرَةٌ The pudendum, or pudenda, (S, O, Msb, K,) of a human being, (S, O,) of a man and of a woman: (TA:) so called because it is abominable to uncover, and to look at, what is thus termed: (Msb:) said in the B to be from عَارٌ, meaning مَذَمَّةٌ: (TA:) [but see what is said voce عَارِيَّةٌ: the part, or parts, of the person, which it is indecent to expose:] in a man, what is between the navel and the knee: and so in a woman: (Jel in xxiv. 31:) or, in a free woman, all the person, except the face and the hands as far as the wrists; and respecting the hollow of the sole of the foot, there is a difference of opinion: in a female slave, like as in a man; and what appears of her in service, as the head and the neck and the fore arm, are not included in the term عورة. (TA.) [العَوْرَةُ المُغَلَّظَةُ means The anterior and posterior pudenda: العَوْرَةُ المُخَفَّفَةُ, the other parts included in the term عورة: so in the law-books.] The covering what is thus termed, in prayer and on other occasions, is obligatory: but respecting the covering the same in a private place, opinions differ. (TA.) The pl. is عَوْرَاتٌ: (S, O, Msb:) for the second letter of the pl. of فَعْلَةٌ as a subst. is movent only when it is not و nor ى: but some read [in the Kur xxiv. 31], عَوَرَاتِ النِّسَآءِ, (S, O,) which is of the dial. of Hudheyl. (Msb.) b2: A time in which it is proper for the عَوْرَة to appear; each of the following three times; before the prayer of daybreak; at midday; and after nightfall. (K.)

(Msb.) b6: Any place of concealment (مَكْمَنٌ) [proper] for veiling or covering. (K.) b7: A gap, an opening, or a breach, (T, Msb, K,) or any gap, opening, or breach, (S, O,) in the frontier of a hostile country, (T, S, O, Msb, K,) &c., (K,) or in war or battle, from which one fears (T, S, O, Msb) slaughter. (T.) b8: Sometimes it is applied as an epithet to an indeterminate subst.; and in this case it is applied to a sing. and to a pl., without variation, and to a masc. and a fem., like an inf. n. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxxiii. 13], إِنَّ بُيُوتَنَا عَوْرَةٌ (O, TA) [Verily our houses are open and exposed: or, as expl. by Bd and others, defenceless]: the epithet being here sing.; and the subst. to which it is applied, pl.: (TA:) but in this instance it may be a contraction of ↓ عَوِرَةٌ; and thus it has been read: (Bd:) see عَوِرٌ. b9: Also, (K,) or [the pl.] عَوْرَاتٌ, (S,) Clefts, or fissures, of mountains. (S, K.) عَوَرَةٌ a subst. meaning ↓ عَوَرٌ [q. v.]: (O:) [it is mentioned in the S as a subst., and app., from the context, as signifying عَوَرٌ, i. e. A blindness of one eye: (but expl. by Golius as meaning the succession of a worse after a better:) after the mention of رَجُلٌ أَعْوَرُ, and the phrase بَدَلٌ أَعْوَرُ and خَلَفٌ أَعْوَرُ, in the S, it is added, وَالاِسْمُ العَوَرَةُ, or, accord. to one copy, العَوْرَةُ; and then follows, وَقَدْ عَارَتِ العَيْنُ.]

عُورَانٌ a pl. of أَعْوَرُ [q. v.]; as also عِيرَانٌ. b2: It is also used as a sing.; رَكِيَّةٌ عُورَانٌ meaning (assumed tropical:) A well in a state of demolition. (O, K.) عَارِيَّةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and sometimes عَارِيَةٌ, without teshdeed, (Msb, K,) when used in poetry, (Msb,) and ↓ عَارَةٌ, (S, O, K,) What is taken by persons by turns; expl. by مَا تَدَاوَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ: (K:) [generally meaning a loan: and the act of lending;] the putting one in possession of the use of a thing without anything given in exchange: (KT, and Kull p. 262:) the returning of the thing thus termed is obligatory, when the thing itself remains in existence; and if it has perished, then one must be responsible for its value, accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee, but not accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh: (TA:) pl. [of the first] عَوَارِىُّ, (S, O, Msb, K,) and [of the second] عَوَارٍ. (Msb, K.) A poet says, وَالْعَوَارِىُّ قَصَارٌ أَنْ تُرَدْ إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا عَارِيَّةٌ [Our souls are only a loan: and the end of loans is their being given back: تُرَدْ being for تُرَدَّ]. (S, O.) عَارِيَّةٌ is of the measure فَعْلِيَّةٌ: Az says that it is a rel. n. from عَارَةٌ, which is a subst. from

إِعَارَةٌ: (Mgh, * Msb:) Lth says that what is thus called is so called because it is a disgrace (عار) to him who demands it; and J says the like; and some say that it is from عَارَ الفَرَسُ, meaning, “the horse went away from his master: ” but both these assertions are erroneous; since عاريّة belongs to art. عور, for the Arabs say هُمْ يَتَعَاوَرُونَ العَوَارِىَّ, meaning they lend [loans], one to another; and عَارٌ and عَارَ الفَرَسُ belong to art. عير: therefore the correct assertion is that of Az. (Msb.) عَوَارٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ عُوَارٌ (Az, S, Msb, K) and ↓ عِوَارٌ (K) A fault; a defect; an imperfection; a blemish; something amiss; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) in an article of merchandise, (S, Mgh, Msb,) and in a garment, or piece of cloth, (TA,) and in a slave, (Msb,) and in a beast: (TA:) or in a garment, or piece of cloth, a hole, and a rent; (Lth, Mgh, Msb, K, TA;) and so in the like, and in a house or tent and the like; (TA;) and in a garment, or piece of cloth, also a burn; and a rottenness: (Mgh:) and some say that عَوَارٌ, with fet-h, is only in goods, or commodities, or articles of merchandise. (Msb.) Yousay سِلْعَةٌ ذَاتُ عَوَارٍ, and ↓ عُوَارٍ, accord. to Az, An article of merchandise having a fault, or the like. (S.) [See also عَوَرٌ.]

عُوَارٌ: see عَوَارٌ, in two places.

عَائِرٌ Anything that causes disease in the eye, (K, TA,) and wounds: so called because the eye becomes closed on account of it, and the person cannot see, the eye being as it were blinded: (TA:) ophthalmia; syn. رَمَدٌ; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ عُوَّارٌ: (Msb:) which latter also signifies foul, thick, white matter, that collects in the inner corner of the eye; not fluid; syn. رَمَصٌ: (Msb:) or both signify a fluid matter that makes the eye smart, as though a mote, or the like, had fallen into it: (Lth:) and both signify a mote, or the like, (S, O, K,) in the eye: (S:) or (TA, in the K “ and ”) عَائِرٌ signifies pimples, or small pustules, in the lower eyelid: (K:) a subst., not an inf. n., nor an act. part. n.: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ عُوَّارٌ is عَوَاوِيرُ, and, by poetic license, عَوَاوِرُ. (TA.) One says ↓ بِعَيْنِهِ عُوَّارٌ, meaning, In his eye is a mote, or the like. (S.) b2: عَيْنٌ عَائِرَةٌ An eye in which is the fluid matter called ↓ عُوَّار: but when the eye has this, you do not say of it عَارَتْ. (Lth.) b3: عَائِرُ العَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) What fills, or satisfies, the eye (مَا يَمْلَؤُهَا), of مَال [meaning camels or the like], so as almost to put it out; and in like manner عَائِرَةُ عَيْنَيْنِ.

One says, عِنْدَهُ مِنَ المَالِ عَائِرَةُ عَيْنٍ, (S, O,) or عَائِرَةُ عَيْنَيْنِ and ↓ عَيِّرَةُ عَيْنَيْنِ, (K, but with عَلَيْهِ in the place of عِنْدَهُ, and in the CK عِتْرَةُ is put for عَيِّرَةُ,) both of these mentioned by Lh, (TA,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) [He has, of camels or the like], what fill, or satisfy, (تَمْلَأُ,) his sight by the multitude thereof; (K;) or that at which the sight is confounded, or perplexed, by reason of the multitude thereof, as though it filled, or satisfied, the eye, and put it out: (S, O:) [and A'Obeyd says the like:] or, accord. to As, the Arab in the Time of Ignorance used, when his camels amounted to a thousand, to put out an eye of one of them; and hence, by عَائِرَةُ العَيْنِ they meant a thousand camels, whereof one had an eye put out. (TA.) A2: عَائِرٌ also signifies An arrow of which the shooter is not known; (S, O, K;) and in like manner, a stone: (S, O:) pl. عَوَائِرُ: (TA:) عَوَائِرُ نَبْلٍ means arrows in a scattered state, of which one knows not whence they have come. (IB, TA.) [See also art. عير.] and عَوَائِرُ (S, O, K) and ↓ عِيرَانٌ (K) signify Swarms of locusts in a scattered state: (S, O, K: [or] the first thereof going away in a scattered state, and few in number.

(TA.) b8: بَدَلٌ أَعْوَرُ (assumed tropical:) [A bad substitute]: a prov. applied to a man who is dispraised succeeding one who is praised: and sometimes they said خَلَفٌ أَعْوَرُ: and Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses the expression خِلَافٌ عُورٌ; as though he made خِلَافٌ pl. of خَلَفٌ, like as جِبَالٌ is pl. of جَبَلٌ.

(MF, TA.) It is said in a trad., عَلِّمُوا صِبْيانَكُمُ العَوْمَ [Teach ye your young boys swimming]. (TA.) And one says, العَوْمُ لَا يُنْسَى [Swimming once learned will not be forgotten].

(Z. TA.) 4 الدَّارُ اعامت The house, or dwelling, became altered, or changed, and years passed over it; like احالت. (TA in art. حول.) عَامٌ A year syn. سَنَةٌ: (S, K;) or حَوْلٌ; [not سَنَةٌ; for] El. Jawáleekee says, the common people do not distinguish between the عام and the سنه, making them both to have the same meaning; but the right state of the case is what I have been told on the authority of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà

[i. e. Th], that the سنه is from any day from which one commences a reckoning to the like thereof, and the عام is only [a period of] a winter and a summer; and it is also said in the T and in the Bári that the عام is a حَوْل that makes an end of a winter and a summer, so that every عام is a سنة, but every سنة is not an عام; for when you reckon from a day to the like thereof, that is a سنة, and there may be in it half of the summer. and half of the winter, whereas the عام is only a winter and a summer, without interruption: (Msb, MF: *) Er-Rághib mentions a difference in the uses of the words عَامٌ and سَنَةٌ [as has been stated in art. سنو and سنى: see سَنَةٌ in that art.] and Suh says, in the R, that the سنة is longer than the عام; that the former is “ a single revolution of the sun; ” and that the latter is applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively]: it is said to be called عام because of the sun's عَوْم [or coursing] through all of its zodiacal signs [during the period which it denotes]: (TA:) its pl. is أَعْوامٌ, (S, Msb, K,) because the sing. is originally of the measure فَعَلٌ [i. e. عَوَمٌ]: (Msb:) it has no other pl. than this. (TA.) b2: One says, لقِيتُهُ عَامًا أَوَّلَ [I met him in a former year; generally meaning, the year immediately preceding, or, as we say, last year]; making the last word imperfectly decl. as being an epithet [and of the measure of a verb]: and لَقِتُهُ عَامًا أَوَّلًا [I met him in a year before: generally meaning the same as the phrase preceding]; making the last word perfectly decl. as not being an epithet [but an ad(??) and K in art. وأل) or the meaning is, (??) year] before this year; even if it be by a number of years: ('Alee El-Kári, on the authority of Seer, in a marginal note in my MS. copy of the K, art. اول:) and one says also, accord. to Az and IAar, لَقَيتُهُ عَامَ الأَوَّلِ; (TA in art. وأل;) or the is rarely said; (K and TA in that art.;) or should not be said; (ISk, S and TA in that art.;) (??) should one say, لَقَيتُهُ عَامَ أَوَّلَ (ISk TA in the present art.) And [in like manner] one says, ما رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلُ, putting the last word in the nom case as being an epithet, (S and K in art. وأل,) as though he said أَوَّلُ مِنْ عَامِنَا [i. e. I have not seen him since a year preceding this one year]; (S in that art.;) and مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلَ, putting the last word in the accus. case as an adv n., (S and K * in that art.,) as though he said مُذْ عامٌ قَبْلَ عَامِنَا [since a year before this our year]; (S in that art.;) and مُذْعَامًا أَوَّلَ and مُذْ عَامُ الأَوَّلِ are also mentioned by different authors (??)in art, منذ) And [using the dim. form] one says, لَقِتُهُ ذَاتَ

↓ العُوَيْمِ i. e. [I met him] in the course of some years; like as one says, لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ الزُّمَيْنِ, and ذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ: (S:) or the meaning is, (some few years ago; or] three years ago or more, to ten: (Az, Az, TA:) and it is like the saying, لَقِيتُهُ مُنْذُ سُنَيَّاتٍ: the fem. form is used because they mean by it مَرَّة وَاحِدَة. (Az, TA.) b3: One says also نَاقَةٌ بَازِلُ عَامٍ and بَازِلُ عَامِهَا [A she-camel that has passed a year, and her year, after cutting her tush], (TA,) and بازِل عَامَيْنِ that has passed two years after cutting the tush. (MF and TA in art. بزل.) A2: See also عَامَةٌ, in two places.

A3: It is also said in the K that العَامُ signifies النَّهَارُ: but this is a mistake and a mistranscription it is العَيَامُ; and its place is art. عيم; as it as mentioned by Az, on the authority of El-Muärrij, (TA.) عَامَةٌ A [kind of float, such as is called] طَوْف [q. v.], upon which one embarks on the water; (S, K:) accord. to AA, a small مِعْبَر [q. v.] that is upon rivers: (Az, TA:) in the M, said to be a thing that is made of the branches of trees, and the like, upon which one crosses a river, and which tosses about upon the water the pl. is عَامَاتٌ and عوم [app. عُومٌ, like نُوقٌ pl. of نَاقَةٌ,] and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ عَامٌ. (TA.) [See also عَامَّةٌ, voce عِمَامَةٌ.]

A2: Also The head of a ruler, or of a rider upon a camel, (هَامَةُ رَاكِبٍ,) when it appears to thee in the [desert, or plain, called] صَحْرَآء, (K. TA,) as he is journeying: (TA:) or it is not thus called unless having upon it a turban. (K, TA.) b2: And A turn, or twist, of a turban. (S, K.) [See 2, second sentence.] b3: And A quantity of reaped corn put, or placed, in handfuls: pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ عَامٌ. (S, K.) عُومَةٌ A certain insect (دُوَيْبَّة, S, K) that swims in the water, resembling a black فَصّ [or stone of a ring], smooth and round: (S:) pl. عُوَمٌ. (S, K.) b2: And A species of serpents, in 'Omán. (TA.) عَامِيٌّ a rel. n., from عَامٌ; (Msb, TA;) A year old. (TA in arts. حول and دول, &c.) and applied to a plant as meaning A year old, and therefore dry. (Msb, TA. *) It is also applied to a [vestige, or relic, of a dwelling, such as is termed] رَسْم, or طَلَل, as meaning Over which a year has passed. (TA.) And it is applied, in a trad., as an epithet to the حَنْظَل [or colocynth, meaning That is of service in the year of drought, or barrenness]; because it is procured, or prepared [as an article of food], in the year of drought, or barrenness. (TA.) عُوَيْمٌ: see عَامٌ [of which it is the dim.], last quarter.

عَوَّامٌ an intensive epithet from عَامَ فِي المَآءِ; (Msb;) A man skilful in swimming. (TA.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) A horse that stretches forth his fore legs well in running [like as one does the arms in swimming]; (S, Z, K, TA;) fleet, or excellent, in his running. (TA.) عَائِمٌ [Swimming;] part. n. of عَامَ in the phrase عَامَ فِي المَآءِ. (Msb.) b2: [Hence,] سَفِينٌ عُوَّمٌ means عَائِمَةٌ [of which عُوَّمٌ is pl.; i. e. Ships coursing along]. (TA.) A2: One says سِنُونَ عُوَّمٌ, in which the latter word is a corroborative to the former; (S, K; *) [app. meaning Tedious, because severe, years;] like as one says شُغْلٌ شَاغِلٌ: as though pl. of عَائِمٌ; but it is not used alone, because it is not a subst., being only a corroborative: (S:) or, as is said in the M, it should by rule be عُومٌ; for [it is pl. of ↓ أَعْوَمُ, and] the pl. of أَفْعَلُ is فُعْلٌ; but they pronounce it as above, as though the sing. were عَامٌ عَائِمٌ: ISd says, عَامٌ

↓ أَعْوَمُ is an intensive expression, and I think that the meaning is, [A year] that seems long to people because of its drought, or barrenness; and similar to it is ↓ عَامٌ مُعِيمٌ, mentioned by Lh. (TA.) A3: عَائِمٌ is also [the name of] A certain idol (S, K) of the Arabs. (S.) عَامٌ أَعْوَمُ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

عِنَبٌ مُعْوِمٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ مُعَوِّمٌ, see 3, near the end,] means, as mentioned by Az, on the authority of En-Nadr, [A grapevine] that bears one year and does not bear another year. (TA.) عَامٌ مُعِيمٌ: see عَائِمٌ, last sentence but one. [And see also art. عيم.]

شَحْمٌ مُعَوِّمٌ Fat of a year after another year. (TA.) b2: See also مُعْوِمٌ.

مُسْتَعَامٌ A ship upon the sea. (K.)
