Derived nouns 10

Nounبَرَمَ3 senses · 2 main

Core sense — the fruit of certain thorny trees; small unripe grapes; an avaricious mangenerated

The fruit of the trees called عِضَاه; the ism waḥda is formed with ة.

In its first stage it is called فَتْلَةٌ, then بَلَّةٌ, then بَرَمَةٌ.

AHn was wrong in saying that the فتلة is above the برمة in degree.

The fruit of every kind of عضاه is yellow, except that of the عُرْفُط, which is white, as though its filaments, or fringe-like parts, were cotton; it is like the button of a shirt, or a little larger.

That of the سَلَم is the sweetest in smell; it is yellow, and is eaten, being sweet and pleasant.

AA: the fruit of the طَلْح, or acacia gummifera, which is one of the trees called عضاه; the ism waḥda is formed with ة.

Sometimes بَرَمَةٌ is also applied to a fruit of the أَرَاك before it has ripened and turned black; when ripe it is called مَرْدٌ, and when black كَبَاثٌ.

The plural is بِرَامٌ and بُرَمٌ, or بَرَمٌ — though this last is a collective noun.

1.1

Also grapes when they are above, or like, the heads of young ants.

2figurative · مجازAre you heavy and sluggish, with no good in you, yet eating two dates at once each time?—أَبْرَمًا قَرُونًا

One who takes no part with others in the game called المَيْسِر, and contributes nothing with them, out of avarice, though he eats with them of its meat; but sometimes he shuffles out the gaming-arrows for the players, as is said in the article جمد.

He is likened to the بَرَمَ of the أَرَاك, because he is of no use.

بَرَمَةٌ occurs in the same sense, the man so called being likened to a بَرَمَة of the اراك; or the ة is added to make the meaning more intensive. The plural is أَبْرَامٌ.

And from this: avaricious, niggardly, mean, or sordid; or heavy and sluggish, with no good in him.

Said in a proverb; with تَكُونُ understood after it the sense may be: are you one taking no part with others in the game of الميسر?
