2 آثِمَةٌ, and آثِمَاتٌ, (S, M, K, [in the CK, erroneously, اَثِماتٌ.]) A she-camel, and she-camels, slow, or tardy; weary, fatigued, or jaded. (K. [In the CK, we find مُعِيْباتٌ erroneously put for مُعْيِيَاتٌ.]) Some pronounce it with ت. [In like manner,] signifies That is slack, or slow, in pace, or going; اَلَّذِى يَكْذِبُ فِى السَّيْرِ. (Sgh, K. [In Golius's Lex., as from the K, اَلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ السَّيْرَ. Both are correct, signifying the same.])
