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

كَمْ : see its syn. كَأَىٍّ or كَأَيِّنْ voce أَىٌّ . ― -b2- As an interrogative with the specification suppressed, What number? How many? and, as in an ex. voce سِقْىٌ , virtually meaning How much? and so in an ex. voce مَسَافَةٌ and voce شَبْرٌ . Also How long? as in the Kur, ii. 161, &c.; a noun signifying a period of time being understood: see also an ex. voce عَسَفَ , and voce فَرَشَ .
