Full Definition
جِرْمٌ
The body; syn. جَسَدٌ; or بَدَنٌ; as also
جِرْمَانٌ : or the أَلْوَاحِ [pl. of لَوْح q. v.] and جُثْمَان [q. v.] of the جَسَد: pl. أجْرَامٌ, which is also used as a sing., and جُرُومٌ and جُرُمٌ. أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ أَجْرَامَهُ is a phrase mentioned, but not explained, by Lh: ISd thinks that it means He threw upon him the weight of his body; as though the term جِرْمٌ applied to each separate part of his body.
2 [Hence,] الأَجْرَامُ الفَلَكِيَّةُ The [heavenly] bodies that are above the عَنَاصِر, of the orbs and stars.
def.2 The throat, or fauces; syn. حَلْقٌ. The phrase يَضِيقُ بِهِ الجِرْمُ, used by the poet Maan Ibn-'Ows, means
2 The voice; mentioned by ISk and others; and so explained as used in the phrase إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَحَسَنُ الجِرْمِ [Verily such a one is good in respect of voice]: or highness, or loudness, of the voice: you say, مَا عَرَفْتُهُ إِلَّا بِجِرْمِهِ [I knew him not save by his voice, or his highness, or loudness, of voice]: but some disapprove this: AHát says that the vulgar are addicted to saying, فُلَانٌ صَافِى الجِرْمِ Such a one is clear in voice, or in throat: but it is a mistake.
def.3 Colour. One may say, of نَجَاسَة [or filth], لَا جِرْمَ لَهَا, meaning It has no colour.
def.4 الأَجْرَامُ (app. as pl. of جِرْمٌ, TA) The utensils, or apparatus, of the pastor.
