Full Definition

اصْحَامَّ , Verbal.Noun اِصْحِيمَامٌ, said of a plant, or herbage, It became intensely green: and it became yellow, and altered in colour; or, as J says, [in the S,] اصحامّت البَقْلَةُ the herb, or leguminous plant, became yellow: thus it has two contr. meanings: or it became intermixed with yellowness in its dark greenness. And اصحامّت الأَرْضُ The land became altered [for the worse] in its herbage, and its rain departed: or, as some say, the land became altered in the colour of its seed-produce, for the reaping: and in like manner, اصحامّ الحَبٌّ the grain became thus altered. And اصحامّ الزَّرْعُ The seed-produce was smitten by cold: or began to dry up.
