Full Definition

رَطَمَهُI , Present.T ـُ Verbal.Noun رَطْمٌ, He made him to stich fast فِى الوَحْلِ [in the mire].
2 And hence, [or رَطَمَهُ فِى أَمْرٍ,] He caused him to be involved in an affair, or a case, from which he could not extricate himself.
3 [And hence, app.,] رُطِمَ, said of a camel, He had, or was affected with, a suppression of his excrement: and so, accord. to the K, ; but this is a mistake for اطم [i. e. أُطِمَ or أَطِمَ].
4 رَطَمَ بِسَلْحِهِ, expl. in the K as meaning He ejected his excrement, is a mistake for أَطَمَ.
5 رَطَمَ, Verbal.Noun as above, also signifies Inivit; said of a man: or, [said of a man, and of an ass,] inivit toto veretro immisso, mulierem, et asinam.
