ادامهُIV , (Verbal.Noun إِدَامَةٌ, TA,) trans. of دَامَ; [i. e.] i. q. جَعَلَهُ دَائِمًا [He made it to continue, last, endure, or remain: to be extended, or prolonged: to continue, last, endure, or remain, long: and to continue, last, or exist, incessantly, always, endlessly, or for ever; to be permanent, perpetual, or everlasting]: he did it continually, or perpetually: he had it continually, or perpetually. [Accord. to Golius, followed in this case by Freytag, تداوم signifies Perennitate donavit; a signification app. given by Golius as on the authority of the KL; but not in my copy of that work.]
2 ادام القِدْرَ: see 2, last sentence.
3 ادام الدَّلْوَ He filled the bucket.
4 الإِدَامَةٌ also signifies تَنْقِيرُ السَّهْمِ عَلَى الإِبْهَامِ [i. e. The trying the sonorific quality of the arrow by turning it round upon the thumb: or, as explained in this art. in the TK, the making the arrow to produce a sharp sound upon the thumb: or rather this or the former is the meaning of إِدَامَةُ السَّهْمِ; for, as is said in the TK, ادام السَّهْمَ signifies نقره على الابهام (i. e. نقّرهُ)].

def.2 ادامت السَّمَآءُ: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in two places.
2 أُدِيمَ بِهِ: see 1, last sentence but one.
