Full Definition
أَزْمَلٌ
A sound: or any mixed, or confused, sound: or a sound proceeding from the prepuce of a horse or similar beast: it has no verb. A poet says,
def.2 تَرَكَ أَزْمَلًا and and He left a family, or household. And خَرَجَ فُلَانٌ وَخَلَّفَ أَزْمَلَهُ [Such a one went forth, and left behind him his family, or his family and his cattle]: and خَرَجَ بِأَزْمَلِهِ He went forth with his family and his camels and his sheep or goats, not leaving behind him aught of his property.
2 [Hence, app.,] أَخَذَهُ بِأَزْمَلِهِ [in one of my copies of the S, أَزْمَلَهُ,] He took it altogether; namely, a thing. And He took it with its أَثَاث [or utensils and furniture]; as also and and .
3 And عِيَالَاتٌ أَزْمَلَةٌ i. e. Numerous [families or households].
[The gums of the horses water in the adjacent tracts thereof, and thou hearest, beneath the dust, a sound attributable to them]: he means أَزْمَلَا, but suppresses the ء, as is done in وَيْلُمِّهِ [for وَيْلٌ لِأُمِّهِ]. أَزَامِيلُ القِسِىّ means The sounds of the bows: اَزاميل being pl. of أَزْمَلٌ, with ى to give fulness to the sound of the vowel preceding it. And أَزْمَلَةٌ signifies The twanging sound of a bow.تَضِبُّ لِثَاتُ الخَيْلِ فِى حَجَرَاتِهَا وَتَسْمَعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ العَجَاجِ لَهَا ٱزْمَلَا
