muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarعَمْدٌ عَمَدٌ

Core sense — he propped it up; he intended it, he aimed at it; he was angrygenerated

1.1

He propped it up, or supported it; said of a wall or other thing.; maṣdars عَمْدٌ and اعمدهُ.

Same as دَعَمَهُ or اعمده: he placed columns, pillars, or props beneath it. [And apparently sometimes عَمَدَهُ; and in a similar way عمّدهُ is explained by Golius, on the authority of J, whom I do not find to have mentioned it anywhere, but it is probably correct (see its ism mafʿūl in this article).]

See عَمُودٌ and the like.

1.1.1he struck him with an [iron weapon such as is called] عَمُود—عَمَدَهُ

Muḍāriʿ عَمِدَ or عَمُدَ.

1.1.2

And he struck him, or beat him, on the part called عَمُودُ البَطْن.

1.2he intended it, he purposed it; he did it intentionally—عَمَدَ لَهُ

Also عَمَدَ إِلَيْهِ and عَمَدَهُ. [or عَمِدَ and عَمُدَ]; maṣdars عَمْدٌ, عَمَدٌ, عِمَادٌ, عُمْدَةٌ, عُمُودٌ (Nawádir el-Aaráb), مَعْمَدٌ (Ibn-'Arafeh), تعمّدهُ, تعمّد لَهُ, and اعتمدهُ. The maṣdar is the opposite of خَطَأٌ.

He directed himself, or his course, to it; made for it; made it his object; aimed at it; sought after it; or went to it. Same as قَصَدَهُ, قَصَدَ لَهُ, or إِلَيْهِ.

he intended the affair, he aimed at it—اعتمد الأَمْرَ

Same as صَمَدَهُ or صَمَدَ صَمْدَهُ, that is, قَصَدَ قَصْدَهُ.

he committed a sin, or the like, intentionally—تعمّد ذَنْبًا

So in art. خطأ.

[he aimed at an object of the chase]—تعمّد صَيْدًا

he aimed at his head with the staff, or stick—عَمَدَ لِرَأْسِهِ بِالعَصَا

So in art. صمد.

he went to him, or had recourse to him, in a case of need—عَمَدَهُ

Also عَمَدَ إِلَيْهِ; muḍāriʿ عَمِدَ, اعتمدهُ, and تعمّدهُ.

1.2.1I did it in earnest and with certain knowledge—فَعَلْتُهُ عَمْدًا عَلَى عَيْنٍ

When a man sees a bodily form, imagines it to be an object of the chase, and so shoots at it, he cannot use this phrase, for he is only aiming at what is an object of the chase in his imagination: so says Sgh.

Also عَمْدَ عَيْنٍ. [See also عَيْنٌ.]

1.3it pressed heavily upon him, it oppressed him—عَمَدَهُ

. Said of disease, on the authority of IAar; and said in the same way of straitness, confinement, imprisonment, and captivity. Also: it caused him to fall — in this sense likewise said of confinement and the like. And, said of a disease, it pained him.

it grieved him, it made him sorrowful—عَمَدَهُ

Muḍāriʿ in this case عَمُدَ; this, I think, needs confirmation.

what has grieved you, or made you sorrowful?—مَا عَمَدَكَ

1.4it became moistened by rain so that a handful grasped from it held together—عَمِدَ

. Said of earth. Or: it became moistened by rain and compacted, layer upon layer.

the land became moistened by the rain sinking into the earth—عَمِدَتِ الأَرْضُ

Maṣdar as above; so that when a portion of it was grasped in the hand it held together because of its moisture.

1.4.1his buttocks became swollen and throbbed from long, hard riding—عَمِدَتْ أَلْيَتَاهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوبِ

Also, with the maṣdar as above, said of a camel: the inner part of his hump was broken [or bruised] by being much ridden while the outer part remained whole; or his hump was swollen from the galling of the saddle and the cloth beneath it, and broken [or bruised]. Hence عَمِيدٌ and مَعْمُودٌ as adjectives applied to a man.

So En-Nadr.

it became swollen from being squeezed before it was ripe—عَمِدَ

Said of a pustule, with muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above: and its egg [or white globule] did not come forth.

1.4.2

Also he suffered pain.

1.4.3he was angry with him—عَمِدَ عَلَيْهِ

And, with the maṣdar as above: he was, or became, angry; like عَبِدَ [and أَمِدَ and أَبِدَ].

1.4.4I wonder at him, or at it—أَنَا أَعْمَدُ مِنْهُ

do I wonder at a chief whom his own people have slain?—أَعْمَدُ مِنْ سَيِّدٍ قَتَلَهُ قَوْمُهُ

[And he wondered.]

Or, as some say, I am angry at him, or at it; and some say it means I lament at, or complain of, him, or it.

Said by Aboo-Jahl when he lay prostrated at Bedr, meaning: has anything more happened than the slaughter of a chief by his own people? This is no disgrace to him. He meant that the destruction which befell him was a light matter to him. The saying is interrogative, أَعْمَدُ being apparently contracted from أَأَعْمَدُ by the suppression of one of the two hemzehs.

[do I wonder at a measure incompletely filled?]—أَعْمَدُ مِنْ كَيْلٍ مُحِّقَ

A saying of the Arabs, explained in the book referred to above, and, Az thinks, correctly, as meaning: is it anything more than a measure incompletely filled? It is explained in a similar way, though less fully, in two copies of the S and in the O. Or, according to IB, is it anything more than the fact of my measure's being incompletely filled? — thus explained also by ISk; and in a similar way the saying of Aboo-Jahl. From a marginal note in one of my copies of the S.

As related by A'Obeyd, and so in the O; in two copies of the S written مُحِقّ, and omitted in a third; or مُحِقَ without teshdeed, as Az saw it written in an old book.

1.4.5he kept, or clave, to it—عَمِدَ بِهِ

Ibn-Buzurj; said of a thing.

Core sense — a tent-pole; a column, or pillar; a chief; an iron rod for strikinggenerated

1the people of the tent-pole; the people who dwell in tents—أَهْلُ عَمُودٍ

A word of well-known meaning: the عَمُود of a بَيْت or of a خَيْمَة, that is, a pole of a tent; also عِمَادٌ; and a column, or pillar, of a house or the like. Plural (of paucity) أَعْمِدَةٌ, (of multitude) عُمُدٌ, and ism jamʿ عَمَدٌ.

The first is the primary and more common meaning, and hence this phrase. Also عُمُدٍ or عَمَدٍ — or this last is not said — and أَهْلُ عِمَادٍ; or the last means the people of lofty tents, or of lofty structures.

He created the heavens without pillars, as you see them—خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمٰوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا

In the Kur 31:9 (and see also 13:2), according to Ibn-'Arafeh, or Fr: without عَمَد [or pillars], as you see them, and with sight you need no information; or: He created the heavens with pillars that you do not see, the unseen pillars being His power; or, according to Lth, Mount Káf, which surrounds the world, the sky being like a cupola whose ends rest on that mountain, which is of green chrysolite, from which, it is said, the greenness of the sky results.

[pillars] of fire—عَمَدٍ

And عُمُدٍ, according to different readings, in the Kur 104, last verse; plurals — the former rather an ism jamʿ — of عَمُودٌ or of عِمَادٌ.

1.1

Also any tent supported on poles; or any tent extending a long way along the ground, supported on many poles.

1.2

See also عُمْدَةٌ, in two places.

And the رَئِيس [or chief, or commander] — so in the L, and in the copy of the K followed in the TA — or رَسِيل [apparently, if correct, the scout, or emissary, or perhaps the advanced guard] — so in the O, in the CK, and in my manuscript copy of the K — of an army.

It is also called the زُوَيْر [which supports the former explanation, being the same as رَئِيس]; in the O written زَوِير. Also عِمَادٌ and عُمْدَةٌ and عُمْدَانٌ.

1.4

Also, from the same word in the first sense explained above: a staff, or stick.

1.5

And a weapon made of iron with which one beats, or strikes; a rod of iron; [a kind of mace, apparently a rod of iron with a ball of the same metal at the head. I have heard this name applied to the kind of weapon I have mentioned in explaining طَوَارِقُ, plural of طَارِقَةٌ; and it is commonly said in Egypt to have been used by the فِدَاوِيَّة, the sect called in our histories of the Crusades “the Assassins.”]

Plural [of paucity] أَعْمِدَةٌ.

1.6

And a bar of iron, or of any metal.

1.7

And a perpendicular.
