Full Definition

تخرّمتV : see 1, last sentence but one. تخرّمت الخُرْزَةُ (K, TA, in the CK [erroneously] خَرَمَهَا,) The suture, or seam, of a skin cracked, or became torn without separating; quasi-pass. of خَرَمَهَا [q. v.]. انخرم [in like manner] signifies It became slit; said of the bore of the ear. And you say also, تخرّم الزَّنْدُ [The wooden instrument for producing fire cracked, or split]. Hence the phrase, أَرَاكَ يَتَخَرَّمُ زَنْدُكَ, mentioned by IAar, meaning I see thee to have no good in thee: for when the زند cracks, or splits, (إِذَا تَخَرَّمَ,) one cannot produce fire by mean of it, and there is no good in it. [Hence likewise,] تخرّم زَنْدُهُ means also His anger became appeased: [or,] accord. to the S, تخرّم زَبَدُهُ has this meaning: and accord. to the A, تخرّم أَنْفُهُ has the same meaning. Accord. to IAar, جَآءَنَا فُلَانٌ يَتَخَرَّمُ زَبَدُهُ means Such a one came to us doing to us that which was wrongful, or injurious, and foolish, or stupid.

def.2 See also 8, in two places.

def.3 تخرّم also signifies He followed, or adopted, the religion of the خُرَّمِيَّة. (S, K, TA: in the CK, the مَخْرِمِيَّة.)
