and they love property with much love—وَ يُحِبُّونَ المَالَ حُبًّا جَمًّا
copious, abundant, widespread rain—جَمّٰ البُعَاقِ

This is what other copies of the K and the TA give. [The former seems to be right: if it were the latter, the author of the K, by a rule he has seldom neglected, would have added بِالضَّمِّ, as SM has done here, unless his copyist wrote this by mistake for بِالفَتْحِ.]

Or جَمٌّ means the water of a well that has collected [after water has been drawn from it].

جَمَّةٌ is the place in which the water collects, and also the water itself — the supply that has collected after drawing: see form 4, near the end, and form 10, last sense.

Core sense — the collected seminal fluid of a rested horse; the quantity heaped above a measuregenerated

1

What has collected of the seminal fluid of a horse [after his resting from covering]; and so جِمَامٌ.

1.1[he gave me the bowlful of flour]—أَعْطَانِى جمامَ القَدَحِ دَقِيقًا

Also, and جِمَامٌ and جَمَامٌ [but see what follows]: the quantity [of flour or the like] that rises above the head of the measure called مَكُّوك after the filling, more than its طَفَاف; and so جَمَمٌ. Or the fill of a bowl, without a head.

According to ISk, this is said only of flour and the like.

But جمام, meaning the “resting” of a horse, is with fet-ḥ only.

Or, according to Fr, one says جِمَامٌ القَدَحِ المَآءً with kesr, meaning the bowlful of water; and جُمَامُ المَكُّوكِ دَقِيقًا with damm; and جَمَامٌ الفَرَسِ with fet-ḥ only; and one does not say جُمَامٌ with damm except of flour and the like, meaning the quantity that rises above the head of the مكّوك after the filling.

One says أَعْطِنِى جُمَامَ المَكُّوكِ when a person puts on what the head of the مكّوك will bear, and gives it.

In the T it is said that أَعْطِهِ جمامَ المَكُّوكِ means: give him [the quantity of] a مكّوك without a head; but [SM says] I have seen written in its margin that the right meaning is the quantity borne by the head of the مكّوك.
