ائتمّهُVIII
[written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَمَّهُ]: see 1, first sentence.
def.2 ائتمّ بِهِ He followed his example; he imitated him; he did as he did, following his example; or taking him as an example, an exemplar, a pattern, or an object of imitation; as also أَمَّهُ : the object of the verb is termed إِمَامٌ; applied to a learned man, or a head, chief, or leader, or some other person. He made it an أُمَّة or إِمَّة [i. e. a way, course, or rule, of life or conduct; as explained immediately before in the work whence this is taken]; as also به. You say, ائتمّ بِالشَّيْءِ and ائْتَمَى به, by substitution [of ى for م], disapproving of the doubling [of the م].
