Full Definition

تِمَّةٌ and تُمَّةٌ [the former written in the CK تَمَّةٌ] sings. of تِمَمٌ and تُمَمٌ, or تَمَمٌ , which [ISd says] I think to be a quasi-pl. n., or تَمٌّ is the quasipl. n.: these, i. e. the pls. and quasi-pl. n., signify Shorn crops (جِزَز [in the CK جِزَر, for which Golius appears to have found حِرْز, for he has rendered it by “ amuletum, ” and Freytag has done the same,]) of شَعَر [meaning goats' hair], and of camels' hair, and of wool, of that wherewith a woman [or a man] completes her [or his] web: and تُمَّةٌ signifies what is given, of wool, or camel's hair, [or goats' hair,] (S, TA, [and mentioned also in the K, but there, by misplacement, made to relate to تِمٌّ instead of تِمَّةٌ,]) for a man to complete therewith the weaving of his كِسَآء; as also تُمَّى .
