زُهْمَةٌ : or the latter signifies a fetid odour [in a general sense]: but accord. to Az, the former signifies the disagreeableness of odour, without the being fetid, or altered [for the worse]; such as the odour of lean flesh-meat, or the odour of the flesh of a beast of prey, or strong-smelling sea-fish; the fish of the rivers having no زهومة. [See also 1, first sentence; and رُهْمٌ, last signification; and زَهَمٌ.]
