لُمْظَةٌ
A whiteness in the lower lip of a horse, not being a part of the [whiteness termed] غُرَّة; as also
لَمَظٌ : also the former, a
غُرَّة
which descends so that it enters into the mouth of a horse, and so that he removes with it what has remained in his mouth after eating: and ↓ the latter, somewhat white in the lip of a beast of carriage, not passing beyond the place where the lip closes: or the former, a whiteness upon both the lips, only. Also, Somewhat of whiteness in the fore leg of a horse, or in his hind leg, upon the
أَشْعَر [or hair which surrounds the hoof.] And A small spot of white: and contr. of black, in the heart. It is said in a trad., that faith begins like a لُمْظَة in the heart; and as faith increases, so the latter increases. And that hypocrisy in the heart is a black لمظة, and faith is a white لمظة; and as either increases, so the لمظة increases.
