Full Definition

شَرَمَهُI , Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun شَرْمٌ, i. q. شَقَّهُ [meaning He slit it; or rent it; and perhaps also he clave it, split it, &c.].
2 It is also said in the K that الشَّرْمُ signifies قَطْعُ مَا بَيْنَ الأَرْنَبَةِ: but ما بين should be struck out: and the passage, moreover, is defective: it should be, as in the M, الشَّرْمُ and signify The cutting (قَطْع [or rather شَقّ i. e. slitting or rending]) of the end, or tip, of the nose, and of the ثَفْر [here meaning the vulva, or the orifice of the vagina,] of a she-camel: specially said of these two things. (TA. [See also 2; and see شَرِيمٌ.])
3 شَرَمَ الثَّرِيدَةَ, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, and the latter, by poetic license, شَرَمٌ, He ate of the sides, or of the edge, of the ثريدة [or mess of crumbled bread moistened with broth].
4 شَرَمَ لَهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ, Present.T as above, and so the Verbal.Noun, He gave him little of his مال

def.2 شَرِمَ, Present.T ـَ is quasi-pass. of شَرَمَهُ; [i. e. it signifies It was, or became, slit, or rent;] as also . (S, TA. [In the former it is implied that the meaning of the latter verb is اِنْشَقَّ.])
2 Also, Present.T as above, Verbal.Noun شَرَمٌ, He had his nose slit: or he had the end, or tip, of his nose cut.
