آمَّةٌ

Root: ام

Full Definition

آمَّةٌ and , as some of the Arabs say, because it implies the meaning of a pass. part. n., originally; but 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh says that this is a mistake; for the latter word is an epithet applied to the part called أُمُّ الدِّمَاغِ when it is broken; or شَجَّةٌ آمَّةٌ and ; A wound by which the head is broken, reaching to the part called أُمُّ الدِّمَاغِ, or, [which means the same,] أُمُّ الرَّأْسِ, so that there remains between it and the brain [only] a thin skin: it is the most severe of شِجَاج [except that which reaches the brain (see شَجَّةٌ)]: ISk says that the person suffering from it roars, or bellows, (يَصْعَقُ,) like thunder, and like the braying of camels, and is unable to go forth into the sun: the mulct for it is one third of the whole price of blood: IAar assigns the meaning of [this kind of] شَجَّة to أَمَّةٌ ; which seems, therefore, to be either a dial. var. or a contraction of آمَّةٌ: the pl. of آمَّةٌ is أَوَامُّ and ; or this latter has no proper sing.: the pl. of is مَأْمُومَاتٌ.
