(S.) ― -b2- And تَعْوِيمٌ also signifies The putting, or placing, reaped corn in handfuls. (S, K.) -A3- See also the next paragraph, in two places.

عاومهُ , (Lh, K, TA,) inf. n. مُعَاوَمَةٌ and عِوَامٌ , He hired him, or tock him as a hired man or hireling, for the year: (Lh. TA:) or he made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the year (K:) or you say, عَامَلَهُ مُعَاوَمَةً ; like as you say, مُشَاهَرَةً ; (S, Msb:) the former from العَامُ , and the latter from الشَّهْرُ ; &c. (Msb.) The مُعَاوَمَة that is forbidden is The setting the seed-produce of one's year, (S, K, TA,) or the dates of one's palm-trees, or ones trees, for two years, or three, (so in one of my copies of the S,) or for what will come forth in the next following year: or, as in the Nh, the selling the fruit of one's palm-trees or of one's grape-nines or of one's [other] trees for two years, or three, and more than that; (TA:) or one's extending to a man the term of a debt that has become due by him and his increasing the amount of the debt: (Lh, TA:) or one's adding somewhat to a debt and deferring it (K.) ― -b2- And عاومت السَّخْلَةُ The palm-tree bore one year and did not bear another year: (S, K:) like سَانَهَت : (As, in K and TA, art. سنه .) as also ↓ عُوُّمَت : (K:) and الكَرْمُ ↓ عَوَّمَ , inf. n. تَعْوِيمٌ , The grape-vine bore much one year and little another, (TA, [See also مُعْوِمٌ ; perhaps a mistranscription for مُعَوِّمُ .]) ― -b3- Also (i. e. عاومت النخلة The palm-tree completed a year [of growth]. (Z. TA.)

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] صَحْرَا=ء , (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 المَا=ءِ ; (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.)

عَايءِمٌ [Swimming;] part. n. of عَامَ in the phrase عَامَ فِي المَا=ءِ . (Msb.) ― -b2- [Hence,] سَفِينٌ عُوَّمٌ means عَايءِمَةٌ [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 عَايءِمٌ ; 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 عَايءِمٌ : 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- عَايءِمٌ 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 عَايءِمٌ , last sentence but one. [And see also art. عيم .]
