حتم

حَنْتَمْ حان حنتم , of the measure فَنْعَلٌ, signifies A green jar (خَزَفٌ أَخْضَرُ, meaning جِرَّةٌ): it is also applied to anything [ of the colour termed ] أَسْوَد: and الأَخْضَرُ is, with the Arabs, أَسْوَدُ [which may mean either that green is, with the Arabs, termed اسود, or that الاخضر is, with the Arabs, black; but the former appears to be the right meaning: see أَسْوَدُ]. (Msb.) [See أَخْضَرُ: and see also what here follows.]
