From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root حلم. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

حَلَمَ حلم , (S, Msb, K, [in the CK, erroneously, حَلُمَ ,]) aor. حَلُمَ , inf. n. حُلْمٌ (Msb, TA) and حُلُمٌ , of which the former is a contraction, (Msb,) [both used also as simple substs.,] He dreamed, or saw a dream or vision (S, Msb, K) فِى نَوْمِهِ (K) in his sleep; (S, * Msb, K;) as also ↓ احتلم (S, ISd, Msb, K,) and ↓ انحلم , (ISd, K,) and ↓ تحلّم . (K.) You say, حَلَمَ بِهِ , (S, K, [in the CK, again, erroneously, حَلُمَ ,]) and عَنْهُ , (K,) and عَنْهُ ↓ تحلّم , (TA,) and حَلَمَهُ also, (S,) He dreamed, or saw a dream or vision, of it: (S, K:) or he saw it in sleep. (M, K.) And حَلَمَ بِالمَرْأَةِ He (a man) dreamed in his sleep that he was compressing the woman. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] حُلْمٌ and ↓ اِحْتِلَامٌ signify [The dreaming of] copulation in sleep: (K:) and the verbs are حَلَمَ and ↓ احتلم . (TA.) And [hence,] both signify The experiencing an emission of the seminal fluid; properly, in dreaming; and tropically if meaning, without dreaming, whether awake or in sleep, or by extension of the signification. (TA.) And hence, (Mgh,) حَلَمَ , (Mgh, Msb,) aor. حَلُمَ , inf. n. حُلْمٌ ; (Mgh;) and ↓ احتلم ; (Mgh, Msb;) He (a boy) attained to puberty, (Msb,) [or] to virility. (Mgh, Msb.) -A2- حَلُمَ , with damm [to the ل ], inf. n. حِلْمٌ , (S, Msb, K,) [He was, or became, forbearing, or clement;] he forgave and concealed [offences]: or he was, or became, moderate, gentle, deliberate, leisurely in his manner of proceeding or of deportment &c., patient as meaning contr. of hasty, grave, staid, sedate, or calm; (S, K;) and (assumed tropical:) intelligent: (K:) or he managed his soul and temper on the occasion of excitement of anger. (TA.) [See حِلْمٌ below.] You say, حَلْمَ عَنْهُ and ↓ تحلّم [He treated him with forbearance, or clemency, &c.]: both signify the same. (TA.) And يَحْلُمُ عَمَّنْ يَسُبُّهُ [He treats with forbearance, or clemency, &c., him who reviles him]. (TA in art. حمل .) -A3- حَلِمَ , aor. حَلَمَ , (K,) inf. n. حَلَمٌ , (TA,) He (a camel) had [upon him] many ticks, such as are termed حَلَم . (K.) ― -b2- Also the same verb, (S, K,) with the same inf. n., (S,) It (a hide, or skin,) had in it worms, such as are termed حَلَم , (S, K, TA,) whereby it was spoilt and perforated, (S, TA,) so that it became useless. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, El-Weleed Ibn-'Okbeh, TA,) فَاـِنَّكَ وَالكِتَابَ اـِلَى عَلِىٍّ كَذَابِغَةٍ وَقَدْ حَلِمَ الأَدِيمُ [For verily thou, as to the letter, or writing, to 'Alee, art like a woman tanning when the hide has become spoilt and perforated by worms]: (S, TA:) he was urging Mo'áwiyeh to contend in battle with 'Alee, [as though] saying to him, Thou labourest to rectify a matter that has become completely corrupt, like this woman who tans the hide that has become perforated and spoilt by the حَلَم . (TA.) [The latter hemistich of this verse is a prov.: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 346.] -A4- حَلَمَهُ , (K,) inf. n. حَلْمٌ , (TA,) He plucked the حَلَم from it; [app., accord. to the K, the worms thus called from a hide, or skin;] as also ↓ حلّمهُ : (K:) or, accord. to Az, he took from him, namely, a camel, the [ticks called] حَلَم .

اـِنْحَلَمَ see 1.

اـِحْتَلَمَ see 1, in four places.

حَلْمٌ حلم : see حِلْمٌ .

حُلْمٌ حلم an inf. n. of حَلَمَ ; as also ↓ حُلُمٌ . (Msb.) ― -b2- And A dream, or vision in sleep; (S, K;) as also ↓ حُلُمٌ : (K:) accord. to most of the lexicologists, as well as F, syn. with رُوءْيَا : or it is specially such as is evil; and روءيا is the contr.: this is corroborated by the trad., الرُّوءْيَا مِنَ ا@للّٰهِ وَالحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ [The روءيا is from God, and the حلم is from the Devil]: (MF:) and by the phrase, in the Kur [xii. 44 and xxi. 5], أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ [The confused circumstances of dreams, or of evil dreams]: but each is used in the place of the other: (TA:) أَحْلَامٌ is the pl. (K.) ― -b3- أَحْلَامُ نَايءِمٍ [lit. The dreams of a sleeper;] a kind of thick cloths, or garments, (IKh, Z, TA,) striped, of the people of El-Medeeneh. (Z, TA.)

حِلْمٌ حلم [Forbearance; clemency;] the quality of forgiving and concealing [offences]: (Msb:) or moderation; gentleness; deliberateness; a leisurely manner of proceding, or of deportment, &c.; patience, as meaning contr. of hastiness: gravity; staidness; sedateness; calmness: syn. أَنَاةٌ : (S, K:) or these qualities with power or ability [to exercise the contrary qualities]; expl. by أَنَاةٌ and سُكُونٌ with قُدْرَةٌ and قُوَّةٌ : (Kull p. 167:) or the management of one's soul and temper on the occasion of excitement of anger: (TA:) or tranquillity on the occasion of emotion of anger: or delay in requiting the wrongdoer: (KT:) it is described by the term ثِقَلٌ , or gravity; like as its contr. [ سَفَهٌ ] is described by the terms خِقَّةٌ and عَجَلٌ , or levity, or lightness, and hastiness: (TA in art. رجح :) also (assumed tropical:) intelligence; (K;) which is not its proper signification, but a meaning assigned because it is one of the results of intelligence: and ↓ حَلْمٌ , with fet-h, is likewise said to have this last meaning; but this requires consideration: (TA:) the former is one of those inf. ns. that are [used as simple substs., and therefore] pluralized: (ISd, TA:) the pl. [of pauc.] is أَحْلَامٌ and [of mult.] حُلُومٌ . (K.) Hence, in the Kur [lii. 32], أَمْ تَأْمُرُهُمْ أَحْلَامُهُمْ بِهٰذَا (K,) said to mean (assumed tropical:) Do their understandings enjoin them this? (TA.) And أُولُو الأَحْلَامِ , occurring in a trad., means (assumed tropical:) Persons of understanding. (TA.)

حَلَمٌ حلم : see حَلَمَةٌ , in two places.

حَلِمٌ حلم A camel having [upon him] many ticks, such as are called حَلَم . (K.) And A camel spoilt by the abundance of those ticks that were upon him. (TA.) ― -b2- Also A hide, or skin, spoilt and perforated by [the worms termed] حَلَم : and ↓ حَلِيمٌ , [in like manner,] a hide, or skin, spoilt by the حَلَم before it is stripped off. (TA.) And عَنَاقٌ حَلِمَةٌ A she-kid whose skin has been spoilt by the حَلَم ; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ تَحْلِمَةٌ , of which the pl. is تَحَالِمُ : (K:) the pl. of حَلِمَةٌ is حِلَامٌ . (TA.)

حُلُمٌ حلم : see حُلْمٌ , in two places. ― -b2- Also A [dream of] copulation in sleep. (K.) Hence, بَلَغَ الحُلُمَ He attained to puberty, or virility, in an absolute sense. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxiv. 58], وَاـِذَا بَلَغَ الأَطْفَالُ مِنْكُمُ الحُلُمَ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنُوا [And when your children attain to puberty, or virility, they shall ask permission to come into your presence]. (TA.) [And hence,] أَضْرَاسُ الحُلُمِ , (also called أَضْرَاسُ العَقْلِ , TA in art. ضرس ,) [The teeth of puberty, or wisdom-teeth,] so called because they grow after the attaining to puberty, and the completion of the intellectual faculties: (S, L, Msb, all in art. نجذ :) they are four teeth that come forth after the [other] teeth have become strong. (TA in art. ضرس .)

حَلَمَةٌ حلم حلمه حلمة A small tick: (K:) or a large tick; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) like عُلٌّ ; (S;) and said to be like the head [or nipple, when small,] of a woman's breast: (Msb:) or a tick in the last stage of its growth; for at first, when small, it is called قَمْقَامَةٌ ; then, حَمْنَانَةٌ ; then, قُرَادٌ ; and then, حَلَمَةٌ : (As, TA:) the pl., (S,) or [rather] coll. gen. n., (Mgh, Msb,) is ↓ حَلَمٌ . (S, Mgh, Msb.) ― -b2- And hence, as being likened thereto, (Mgh,) (assumed tropical:) The head [or nipple, when small,] of a woman's breast, (T, S, Mgh,) in the middle of the سَعْدَانَة [or areola]; (T, TA;) in like manner called قُرَادٌ : (Mgh:) the little thing rising from the breast of a woman: (TA:) the حَبَّة [or small extuberance like a pimple] upon the head of the breast of a woman: (Msb:) the ثُوءْلُول [or small excrescence] in the middle of the breast of a woman: (K:) and the head [or nipple] of each of the two breasts of a man: (Msb:) the two together are termed ِحَلَمَتَان : (S:) the protuberant piece of flesh is termed حَلَمَةٌ as being likened in size to a large tick. (Msb.) ― -b3- Also A certain worm, incident to the upper and lower skin of a sheep or goat, (As, S,) in consequence of which, when the skin is tanned, the place thereof remains thin: (S:) or a certain worm, incident to skin, which it eats, so that, when the skin is tanned, the place of the eating rends: pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ حَلَمٌ . (K.) -A2- And A species of plant; (S, K;) accord. to As, also called يَنَمَةٌ : (S:) As is also related to have said that it is a plant of the kind termed عُشْب , having a dusty hue, a rough feel, and a red flower: another says that it grows in Nejd, in the sands, has a blossom, and roughish leaves, and thorns resembling the nails of a man; and that the camels suffer adhesion of the spleen to the side, and their young are cast, [for وتزل اخياكها (an evident mistranscription in the TA), I read وَتزِلُّ أَحْبَالُها ,] when they depasture it from the dry branches: accord. to AHn, it is [a plant] less than a cubit [in height], having a thick, or rough, leaf, and branches, and a flower like that of the anemone, except that it is larger, and thicker, or rougher: accord. to the K, it signifies also the tree [or plant] called سَعْدَان ; which is one of the most excellent kinds of pasture: but Az says, it has nothing in common with the سعدان , which is a herb having round [heads of] prickles; whereas the حلمة has no prickles, but is a well-known kind of جَنْبَة ; and I have seen it: (TA:) [Dmr, accord. to Golius, describes it as “ a herb less than the arnoglossa ” (or arnoglossum), “ whitening in the leaves, and downy. ”]

حَلِيمٌ حليم Having حِلْم [i. e. forbearance, or clemency, &c.; forbearing, or clement, &c.]: (Mgh, Msb, K:) pl. حُلَمَا=ءُ and أَحْلَامٌ . (K.) In the Kur xi. 89, it is said to be used by way of scoffing [or irony]. (TA.) الحَلِيمُ is one of the names of God; meaning [The Forbearing, or Clement, &c.; or] He Whom the disobedience of the disobedient does not flurry, nor anger against them disquiet, but Who has appointed to everything a term to which it must finally come. (TA.) ― -b2- حَلِيمَةٌ مُغْتَاظَةٌ (tropical:) [lit. Calm, angry; or the like; because what it contains is sometimes still and sometimes boiling;] is an appellation given to a stone cooking-pot. (A and TA in art. غيظ .) -A2- A fat camel: (S:) or a camel becoming fat. (ISd, K.) ISd says, I know not any unaugmented verb belonging to it in this sense. (TA.) -A3- And Coming fat. (ISd, K.) -A4- See also حَلِمٌ .

حَالِمٌ حالم originally signifies ↓ مُحْتَلِمٌ [i. e. Dreaming: and particularly dreaming of copulation: and experiencing an emission of the seminal fluid in dreaming]. (Mgh.) ― -b2- Hence used in a general sense, (Mgh,) meaning One who has attained to puberty, or virility; (A Heyth, Mgh, Msb, TA;) as also ↓ مُحْتَلِمٌ . (Msb, TA.)

حَالُومٌ حالوم A sort of أَقِط [q. v. ; i. e. a certain preparation of dried curd]: (ISd, K:) or milk that is made thick, so that it becomes like fresh cheese; (S, K;) but this it is not: (S:) a word of the dial. of Egypt. (TA.)

أَحْلَامٌ Bodies; syn. أَجْسَامٌ . (ISd, K.) ISd says, I know not any sing. of it [in this sense]. (TA.) -A2- It is also pl. of حُلْمٌ : -A3- and of حِلْمٌ : -A4- and of حَلِيمٌ . (K.)
