جُمَالَةَ

Root: جمل

Full Definition

جُمَالَةَ : see جُمَّلٌ:

def.2 and جَمِيلٌ.

def.3 Also A herd, or distinct number, of camels; mentioned before as a pl. of جَمَلٌ [q. v.]: or, of she-camels among which is no he-camel; as also جِمَالَةٌ and جَمَالَةٌ ; but this is contradictory to a saying of ISk [respecting جِمَالَةٌ], mentioned above [voce جَمَلٌ; where all these three words are said to be pls. of جَمَلٌ]: and also horses: pl. جُمَالٌ , which is extr. [as a pl.; though, in relation to جُمَالَةٌ, it may be a coll. gen. n., forming its n. un. with ة].
