نَمِير

Root: نمر

Full Definition

نَمِير and نَمِرٌ , Wholesome water, whether sweet or not sweet: or sweet and wholesome water: or wholesome in satiety: or copious: or increasing in quantity, syn. نَامٍ, or زَاكٍ, whether sweet or not sweet: or increasing in quantity in the beasts [app. meaning while they drink], (زَاكٍ فِى المَاشِيَة نَامٍ, T, M,) whether sweet or not sweet. [As زَاكٍ is coupled with نَامٍ, app. as an explicative adjunct, in the T and M, I think that I have here rendered it correctly: otherwise I should have supposed it to mean, perhaps, pure.]
2 حَسَبٌ نَمِيرٌ, and نَمِرٌ , i. q. زَاكٍ [see above]: pl. أَنْمَارٌ.
