Full Definition

دُمَاجٌ and دِمَاجٌ A peace, or reconciliation, that is secret, or concealed: or as though secret, or concealed; from مُدَامَجَةٌ [Verbal.Noun of 3]: or firmly established: or complete, and firmly established: or that is not made with any malicious intention. And أَمْرٌ دُمَاجٌ A right, or just, affair or case. The saying of a poet, cited by IAar, يُحَاوِلْنَ صَرْمًا أَوْ دُمَاجًا عَلَى الخَنَى [which may app. be correctly rendered Do they seek to affect a severing of the tie of union, or a confirming thereof notwithstanding the calamities of fortune?] is explained as meaning, they make a show of union outwardly sound but inwardly unsound; from أَدْمَجَ الحَبْلَ signifying “he twisted firmly the rope.”
