Full Definition

تَهَمٌ [in the CK, erroneously, تَهْم] Land descending (أَرْضٌ مُتَصَوِّبَةٌ [in the CK, here and afterwards, erroneously, مُتَصَوِّيَة]) to the sea; as also ; mentioned by IKt, from Ez-Ziyádee, from As: these two words seem to be [originally] inf. ns. from تِهَامَةُ: [and accord. to F,] التَّهْمَةُ is a dial. var. of تِهَامَةُ : [but J says,] is used in the place of تِهَامَةُ , as though it were [originally] the Verbal.Noun un., accord. to the saying of As that التَّهَمُ, with fet-h to the medial radical, is an Verbal.Noun from تِهَامَةُ : for the [pl. of تِهَامَةُ, and thus meaning the parts of Tihámeh, or, accord. to the JK, meaning lands descending to the sea,] do descend to the sea: so says As: and [hence] the rájiz says, نَظَرْتُ وَالعَيْنُ مُبِينَةُ التَّهَمْ [I looked, the eye distinguishing Et-Taham], meaning Et-Tihámeh.
2 [As Verbal.Noun of تَهِمَ, q. v.,] التَّهَمُ also signifies Vehemence of heat, and [or with] stillness of the wind. And hence Tihámeh is said to be thus called.
