دوم

Muḍāriʿ يَدُومُ and يَدَامُ. The second person of the past tense is دُمْتَ when the muḍāriʿ is يَدُومُ, and دِمْتَ when the muḍāriʿ is يَدَام.

According to Kr, one says also دِمْتَ, which is rare and not of sound authority; the lexicologists generally hold it to be irregular, like مِتَّ, whose muḍāriʿ is تَمُوتُ, and فَضِلَ, whose muḍāriʿ is يَفْضُلُ, and حَضِرَ, whose muḍāriʿ is يَحْضُرُ. Aboo-Bekr says that it is a compound of the past tense whose muḍāriʿ is تَدَامُ with the muḍāriʿ whose past tense is دُمْتَ.

Maṣdar دَوْمٌ and دَوَامٌ [which is the most common form] and دَيْمُومَةٌ [originally دَيْوَمُومَةٌ, like قَيْدُودَةٌ, originally قَيْوَدُودَةٌ, etc.].

It also means: it continued, lasted, endured, or remained, long; its time was, or became, long.

Here it is synonymous with ثَبَتَ.

So in the Msb, art. بقى.

استدام means the same as دام in all of these senses.

Mtr says that this is not of established authority.

Also داوم عَلَيْهِ, and داومهُ, as a usage of the ism fāʿil in art. دمن shows.

Because ما is a conjunct noun to دام, and it is used only adverbially, in the way that maṣdars are used adverbially.

That is, دَوَامَ قِيَامِكَ; or, as long as you stand, or while you stand — for ما denotes time.

Ibn-Keysān: that is, مُدَّةَ قِيَامِ زَيْدٍ.

Like دَائِمًا.

دَيَّمَت and دَيَّمُوا, said of horses: see form 1, in the second half of the paragraph, in three places.

دوّم is also transitive.

. The دوّامة [or top] is made to spin so as to seem to be at rest, as has been shown above.

Or he played with the دوّامة.

داوم الأَمْرَ: see form 1.

See also form 10.

. Transitive of دَامَ.

He made it to be extended, or prolonged; he made it continue long; he made it continue always, endlessly, or for ever.

He did it continually, or perpetually; he had it continually, or perpetually.

According to Golius, followed here by Freytag, تداوم means "Perennitate donavit" — a meaning apparently given by Golius on the authority of the KL, but not in my copy of that work.

ادامت السَّمَآءُ: see form 1, in the second half of the paragraph, in two places.

See form 2.

See form 2.

See form 1.

As a transitive verb, the same as اِنْتَظَرَ, and also تدوّم [which perhaps is used only without an object expressed], and رَقَبَ, or تَرَقَّبَ.

That is, اِنْتَظِرْهُ and اُرْقُبْهُ.

[When no object is expressed, it seems to mean: he paused, and acted with deliberation, or in a patient or leisurely way; or he waited in expectation — apparently from the same verb as synonymous with دَوَّمَ, and so like one who hovers about a thing: see حَوَّمَ, and see also اِنْتَظَرَ.]

Said of an affair, or a case.

Or he sought, desired, asked, or demanded, its continuance, or long continuance, or endless continuance; and داومهُ has both of these senses too, or means he asked him to make a thing continue.

Also: he acted gently and deliberately in it, namely an affair, or a case; and he acted gently with him, that is, with another person, or with his creditor. So also اِسْتَدْمَاهُ, which we judge to be formed from the former by transposition, because we do not find it in this sense to have any maṣdar.

Keys Ibn-Zuheyr says:

— that is, do not hurry in your affair, but act with moderation, gently, deliberately, or leisurely, in it; for no one has straightened your staff by turning it round over the fire, meaning that no one has managed your affair soundly, as one does who acts with moderation.

Mejnoon says:

— meaning: I am blaming Leylà; and yet, in spite of that, I look for her aiding me by good conduct in the matter that is between us.

This may be from the saying اِسْتَدَمْتُ عَاقِبَةَ الأَمْرِ, meaning: I looked, or watched, or waited, for the end, or result, of the affair, or case.

Also, said of a man: he stooped his head, blood dropping from it; formed by transposition from اِسْتَدْمَى.

Used for دَائِمٌ: see that word.

A maṣdar of form 1.

[In the manner of the rain termed دِيمَة.]

And so دَيْمًا دَيْمًا — in the CK, wrongly, دِيْمًا دِيْمًا — in which the ى is interchangeable with the و; mentioned by AHn on the authority of Fr.

So called because it is abundant in the Thebaïs; a species of fan-palm, by some called gingerbread.

According to Forskål, Borassus flabelliformis — a name applied after him by Sonnini to the Theban palm, but now generally used by botanists for another species of fan-palm.

Its fruit is called the مُقْل; ism waḥda with ة.

AHn says that the دَوْمَة becomes thick and tall, and has leaves of the kind termed خُوص, like the خوص of the date-palm, and racemes like the racemes of a date-palm.

According to Aboo-Ziyād El-Aʿrābee, some of the Arabs also give this name to the نَبِق [which properly means the fruit of the سِدْر, but here apparently means, as it does today, the tree called سِدْر, a species of lote-tree, called by Linnaeus rhamnus spina Christi and by Forskål rhamnus nabeca].

According to ʿOmārah, great trees of the kind termed سِدْر; and according to IAar, big trees of any kind. [See also دَوْمَةٌ below.]

From it comes the saying مَا زَالَتِ السَّمَآءُ دَيْمًا دَيْمًا: see دَوْمٌ.

See دِيمَةٌ.

Ism waḥda of دَوْمٌ.

[Also, apparently, as today and as what follows shows, a single fruit of the tree called دَوْم.]

A lasting, or continuous, and still rain.

Or rain in which there is neither thunder nor lightning; the least of it is a third of a day or a third of a night, and the most of it may be of any length.

Or rain that continues some days; or rain that continues long and is still, without thunder or lightning; or rain that continues five days, or six, or seven, or a day and a night, or more; or the least of it is a third of a day or of a night, and the most of it of any length.

Plural دِيَمٌ, the و being changed [into ى] in the plural because it is changed in the singular; and دُيُومٌ (Abu-l-ʿOmeythil); and the collective noun دِيْمٌ. [See also مُدَامٌ.]

The sea, or a great river; the same as بَحْرٌ, so called because of the continuance of its water. (In the CK, wrongly, دَأْماءُ.)

Originally دَوَمَآءُ, or دَوْمَآءُ; if the latter, the change of the و into ا is irregular.

See form 1, near the end of the paragraph.

And دَيْمُومَةٌ: Aboo-ʿAlee holds both to be from الدَّوَامُ, and so to belong to the present article: see art. دم.

The latter is also a maṣdar of دَامَ.

A vertigo, or giddiness in the head; the same as دُوَارٌ.

In the CK, دَواءٌ is wrongly put for دُوَارٌ.

See the next word.

The فَلْكَة [or round thing, that is, a top] which the boy throws, and makes to revolve, or spin, upon the ground by means of a string.

The derivation of the word has been explained above: see form 2, in two places.

Plural, or rather collective noun, دُوَّامٌ.

Continuing, lasting, enduring, or remaining; being extended or prolonged; continuing long; and continuing, lasting, or existing incessantly, always, endlessly, or for ever; permanent, perpetual, or everlasting. (See form 1, first sentence.)

The same as دَائِمٌ, applied to shade; being a maṣdar used as an adjective.

Of the measure فَيْعُولٌ, originally دَيْوُوِمٌ, like قَيُّومٌ; it means the same as دائمٌ, apparently in the last of the senses explained above, being of a form proper to intensive adjectives.

Lakeet Ibn-Zurārah says:

[Different, or widely different, are this and embracing and sleeping and the cool drinking-place and the continual shade].

The Jews are related, in a tradition of ʿĀʾisheh, to have said this to the Muslims; the meaning is المَوْتُ الدَّائِمُ, they saying السَّامُ in the place of السَّلَامُ, and suppressing the ى [or rather the hemzeh] because of their wish to make الدائم resemble السام.

[Hence دَائِمًا meaning continually; and always, or for ever.]

Also still, or motionless; said in this sense of water; and so دَوْمٌ.

on this sense It is said of what is in motion — going round, revolving, or circling (see form 1) — as well as of what is still, or motionless, and so has two contrary meanings: so says Aboo-Bekr.

See the preceding entry.

See دَائِمٌ, first sentence.

More, and most, continual, lasting, and the like.

From الدَّوَامُ.

Continual, or lasting, rain. [See also دِيمَةٌ above.]

See the preceding entry.

And مِدْوَامٌ: a stick, or piece of wood, or something else, with which one stills the boiling of the cooking-pot.

In the CK, wrongly, مُدِيمَةٌ.

And مُدَيَّمَةٌ: land upon which rains such as are termed دِيِمٌ [plural of دِيمَةٌ] have fallen.

The same as رَاعِفٌ: having blood flowing from his nose; or, according to the PS and TK, having a continual bleeding of the nose.

See مَدِيمَةٌ.

See مِدْوَمٌ.

Applied to birds: going round, or circling, over a thing.

مُتَدَاوِمَات is used for it in this sense, in the saying of a rājiz describing horses:

— that is, like birds when you look at, or watch, those of them that are going round, or circling, over a thing.

Or متدوّمات means waiting, or watching.

See the preceding entry.

See form 10.

Sh: exceeding the usual bounds in an affair; striving, or labouring, in it; or taking pains, even extraordinary pains, in it.
