Root: دمع

Full Definition

دَامِعٌ [act. part. n. of دَمَعَ]. You say, عَيْنٌ دَامِعَةٌ An eye shedding tears; an eye of which the tears are flowing: pl. دَوَامِعُ.
2 شَجَّةٌ دَامِعَةٌ A wound on the head from which blood flows in small quantity, or in drops, like tears; ranking after that termed دَامِيَةٌ: A'Obeyd says, the دامية is that which bleeds without a flowing of blood from it; and when the blood flows from it, it is termed دامعة, with the unpointed ع: yet the author of the K says, in art. دمغ, [as on the authority of A'Obeyd,] that the دامعة is before the دامية; and charges J with error in saying the contrary. [See also شَجَّةٌ.]
3 جَفْنَةٌ دَامِعَةٌ A bowl flowing [or overflowing] with its grease, or gravy.
4 ثَرًى دَامِعٌ: see دَمُوعٌ.
