Full Definition

سُمَيْرِيَّةٌ A certain kind of ships. [سُمَيْرِىٌّ signifies the same, applied to A single ship of that kind.]
2 IAar mentions the saying, أَعْطَيْتُهُ سُمَيْرِيَّةً مِنْ دَرَاهِمَ كَأَنَّ الدُّخَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا, without explaining it: [ISd says,] I think he meant, [I gave him] دَرَاهِم سُمْر, i. e. dusky dirhems, as though smoke were issuing from them by reason of their duskiness: or dirhems of which the whiteness was fresh.
