Full Definition
دِمَّةٌ
The lodging-place, or nightly lodging-place, (مَرْبِض, [for which Golius appears to have read مريض,]) of sheep or goats; as though [originating] from its being befouled with urine and dung: occurring in a trad., in which it is said that there is no harm in praying in a دمّة of sheep or goats: but some read, in this instance, دِمْنَة: and some say that دِمَّة is originally دِمْنَة.
2 A piece of بَعْر [i. e. camels', sheep's, goats', or similar, dung]: (S, K: [in the CK, البَقَرَةُ is erroneously put for البَعْرَةُ:]) so called because of its despicableness.
3 A louse; or a small louse: or an ant; because of its smallness; or a small ant.
4 And hence, app.,
5 And A cat.
