(TA.) ― -b2- أَحْجَمَتْ لِلْمَوْلُودِ (tropical:) She (a woman) suckled the new-born child for the first time. (K, TA.) -A2- احجم عَنْهُ He refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from it; (S, K;) quasi-pass. of حجَمْتُهُ, like as أَكَبَّ is of كَبَبْتُهُ; which are extr. of their kind; (S;) and اجحم عنه signifies the same; (S in art. جحم;) but is a rare dial. var.: (Har p. 95:) or he drew back from it, or him, in awe, or fear: (K, TA:) or he receded, or drew back, form it; namely, a thing, or an affair: (Msb:) and أَحْجَمْتُ عَنِ القَوْمِ I dreaded, or feared, the people, or party, and returned, and left them, after I had desired to go to them. (AZ, Msb.) ― -b2- احجم also signifies He (a man) advanced, or went forward; and so اجحم: both of these verbs thus having two contr. meanings. (MF.) -A3- See also 1, last sentence.
