[as such] with سُمَّارٌ, signifying persons holding, or who hold, conversation, or discourse, by night: or persons waking, continuing awake, not sleeping; as also
سَامِرَةٌ [a fem. sing., and therefore applicable as an epithet to a broken pl. and to a quasi-pl. n. and to a coll. gen. n.]: سَامِرٌ is a pl. [or rather quasi-pl. n.] applicable to males and to females: or it is a sing., and, like other sings., is used as a qualificative of a pl. only when the latter is determinate; as in the phrase تَرَكْتُهُمْ سَامِرًا [I left them holding a conversation & c.].
