طَمٌّ [as an inf. n.: see 1. ― -b2- As a subst.,] see the next paragraph.

طِمٌّ The sea: (S, K, TA:) said to be so called because of its overwhelming what is in it ( لِأَنَّهُ طَمَّ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ ): but in this sense the word is said to be ↓ طَمٌّ , and to be pronounced with kesr for the purpose of assimilating it to رِمٌّ . (TA.) One says, جَا=ءَ بِالطِّمِّ وَالرِّمِّ , meaning He brought much wealth: (S, TA:) or the meaning in this instance is الامر الكثير [app. a mistranscription for الأَمْر الكَبِير i. e. that which was a great event]: so says As: or much of everything: or much and little: thus accord. to Aboo-Tálib: or what was moist and what was dry: or the leaves of trees, and what had fallen off from them. (TA. [See more voce رِم : and see also what here follows.]) ― -b2- And Water: (K, TA:) or much water; as also ↓ طَامٌّ/ [or مَا=ءٌ طَامٌّ ]: (TA:) or the rubbish and scum, and the like, that is upon its surface; or that is driven along by it: (K, * TA:) and thus expl. as used in the saying above-mentioned.

(TA.) ― -b5- And A male ostrich: (K:) because of the lightness of his pace. (TA.) ― -b6- And A courser, or swift horse; as also ↓ طَمِيمٌ : (K, * TA: [see also طَمُومٌ :]) called طِمٌّ because of. his light and quick, or easy, running ( لِطَمِيمِ عَدْوِهِ ); or as being likened to the sea, as a horse is termed بَحْرٌ and سَكْبٌ and غَرْبٌ . (TA.) ― -b7- And A large ذَكَر : (K:) because its head is مَطْمُوم [as though this epithet meant “ bare ”]. (TA.) ― -b8- الطِّمُّ is also said in the K to signify الكَيِّسُ ; but [SM says] I think that this is a mistranscription for الطَّمُّ meaning الكَبْسُ [see طَمَّ الرَّكِيَّةَ , in the first paragraph]. (TA.)

طُمَّةٌ A company, or congregated body, of men: and the middle of them: one says, لَقِيتُهُ فى طُمَّةِ القَوْمِ [I met him, or found him, in the company of people, or in the midst of the people].

(TA.) ― -b4- And A portion (K, TA) of herbage, mostly (TA) of what is dry, or dried up. (K, TA.)

فَرَسٌ طَمُومٌ A swift horse. (TA. [See also طِمٌّ .])

طَمِيمٌ : see طِمٌّ . ― -b2- Also A medley of men, or people: and a multitude thereof. (TA.)

طَامٌّ [part. n. of 1]: see طِمٌّ : ― -b2- and see the paragraph here following.

طَامَّةٌ A calamity that predominates over others: (K, and Har p. 127:) or simply a calamity. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of Aboo-Bekr En-Nessábeh, مَا مِنْ طَامَّةٍ اـِلَّا وَفَوْقَهَا طَامَّةٌ (S, * TA) i. e. There is no calamity but above it is a calamity.

طِمْطِمٌ and ↓ طُمْطُمَانِىٌّ (S, K) and ↓ طِمْطِمِىٌّ (K) and ↓ طُمَاطِمٌ (TA) A man having a barbarousness, or vitiousness, or an impotence, or impediment, in his speech, or utterance, not speaking clearly, or correctly: (S, K, TA:) and Aboo-Turáb explains [the pl. of the first] طَمَاطِمُ as meaning foreigners ( عَجَم ). (TA.) Hence the saying of the poet, (S,) 'Antarah, (TA,) تَأْوِى لَهُ قُلُصُ النَّعَامِ كَمَا أَوَتْ خِرَقٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ لِأَعْجَمَ طِمْطِمِ (S, TA;) respecting which Fr relates his having heard El-Mufaddal say that one of the most learned of men explained to him الخِرَقُ اليَمَانِيَّةُ as meaning the clouds [app. likened to rags of cloth of El-Yemen], and الأَعْجَمُ الطِمْطِمُ as meaning the sound of thunder: (TA:) or the latter hemistich is thus: حِزَقٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ لِأَعْجَمَ طِمْطِمِ and the verse means, To whom (referring to a male ostrich) repair the young ostriches, like as herds of camels of El-Yemen repair to one who is impotent, and indistinct, or incorrect, in speech: he likens the male ostrich, in respect of blackness, and want of speech, to an Abyssinian pastor impotent, and indistinct, or incorrect, in speech. (EM p. 231.) ― -b2- طِمْطِمٌ signifies also A sort of sheep, haring small ears, and أَغْبَاب [or what resemble dewlaps], like the اغباب of oxen: they are in the region of El-Yemen. (IDrd, TA.)

(TA.)

طَمْطَامٌ The middle of the sea. (K, TA.) ― -b2- And hence, (tropical:) Much fire: or the midst of fire: or the main part thereof: occurring in a trad. of Aboo-Tálib. (TA.)

[ أَذًى أَطَمُّ Vehement, or severe, annoyance, molestation, harm, or hurt: in the TA carelessly written اذا اطم ; and there said to be from طَمَّتِ الفِتْنَةُ , q. v. See also an ex. in the Ham p. 363; where أَطَمْ occurs at the end of a verse for أَطَمَّ used in a like sense; i. e. as an epithet, not as a verb.]

أَطَامِيمُ is said in the K to signify The legs of a beast: but AA says, respecting the phrase مُسْتَعِدَّاتٌ أَطَامِيمُ in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil describing a she-camel, that the former of these words is used as meaning legs, and اطاميم means brisk, active, or quick: and by another, or others, this latter word is said to mean تَطِمُّ فِى السَّيْرِ , i. e. that are quick in pace. (TA.)

شَعَرٌ مَطْمُومٌ means مَعْقُوصٌ [i. e. Hair plaited: or twisted: &c.]. (S, TA.) ― -b2- And رَأْسٌ مَطْمُومٌ A head of which all the hair is cut off. (K * and TA in art. زق .) And مَطْمُومُ الرَّأْسِ A man having all the hair of his head cut off. (TA in that art.)
