Full Definition

تِهَامِىٌّ Of, or belonging to, Tihámeh; as also تَهَامٍ , (T, S, M, Msb, K, [in the CK, erroneously, تَهامٌ,]) with fet-h, irregularly formed; fem. تَهَامِيَةٌ; like رَبَاعٍ and رَبَاعِيَةٌ: when it is pronounced with fet-h to the ت, it is without teshdeed [to the ى when you say التَّهَامِى and تَهَامِيَةٌ]; as in the instances of رَجُلٌ يَمَانٍ and شَآمٍ, except that the ا in تَهَامٍ is of the original word, and that in يَمَانٍ and شَآمٍ is a substitute for the two ى of the [regular] rel. n., or rather, for one of those two ى: and you say قَوْمٌ تَهَامُونَ [A people, or company of men, of Tihámeh], like يَمَانُونَ: and accord. to Sb, some say تَهَامِىٌّ and يَمَانِىٌّ and شَآمِىٌّ, with fet-h, and with teshdeed [to the ى].
