جَمْهَرَ

Q. 1 Verbal.Noun جَمْهَرَةٌ, He collected together a thing, or earth, or dust, one part upon another.
2 جمهر القَبْرَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He collected the earth, or dust, over the grave, not plastering it with clay, or mud, nor making it even, or level.
3 جمهر المَتَاعَ He took the main part of the household-goods, or commodities: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to plants, or herbage.
4 جمهر عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ, or لَهُ, or إِلَيْهِ, He acquainted him with a part of the news, or story, and concealed what he desired, or meant: or he acquainted him with a part of the news, or story, incorrectly, or not in the proper manner, and omitted what he desired, or meant: or he acquainted him with a small portion thereof, omitting most of what was necessary for him to know, and relating it in a manner different from the proper way: and accord. to the Kitáb el-Addád of Abu-t-Teiyib the Lexicologist, it seems to have a contr. signification; for he says that جَمْهَرْتُ لَكَ الخَبَرَ means, I acquainted thee with the main part of the news, or story.
