رَجَمٌ
Stones that are placed upon a grave.
2 And hence, A grave; because stones are collected together upon it; as also رَجْمَةٌ and رُجْمَةٌ : the pl. of رَجَمٌ is أَرجَامٌ: you say, هٰذِهِ أَرْجَامُ عَادٍ These are the graves of [the tribe of] 'Ád: and رُجْمَةٌ , of which the pl. is رُجَمٌ and رِجَامٌ, signifies also, like as does رُجُمٌ , stones, or high stones, that are set up upon a grave: or both these signify a sign [that is set up upon a grave; or a tombstone: see 2] : or the former of them (رُجْمَةٌ) signifies stones collected together, as though they were the graves of [the tribe of] 'Ád; and its pl. is رِجَامٌ: or it is sing. of رُجَمٌ and رِجَامٌ which signify large stones, less then [such as are termed] رِضَام, or like رِضَام, sometimes collected together upon a grave to form a gibbous covering to it.
3 Also (i. e. رَجَمٌ) A well.
4 And A [kind of oven such as is called] تَنُّور [q. v.].
5 And i. q. جُفْرَةٌ, with جيم, accord. to the K, i. e. A round space in the ground: or, as in other lexicons, حُفْرَةٌ [meaning a hollow, or cavity, in the ground, made by digging, or natural].
def.2 Also Brothers, or brethren: [a quasipl. n.:] sing., accord. to Kr, رَجْمٌ and رَجَمٌ; [so that the latter is used as a sing. and as a pl.;] but I know not how this is. [See also رَجْمٌ.]
