حمى

حِمَاآءٌ حماآء : see حِمًى. -A2- حِمَاآءٌ لَكَ or حِمَاآءً لَكَ i. q. فِدَاآءٌ لَكَ [May such a person, or thing, be a ransom for thee! ] or فِدَاآءً لَكَ [meaning فُدِيتَ, i. e. mayest thou be ransomed! ] or فَدَاكَ, i. e. may such a one ransom thee! ]. (S, accord. to different copies.) [And in like manner,] the Arabs said, ↓ لَكَ الفِدَى وَالحِمَى [ Ransom, or ransoming, be for thee! ] pronouncing the former noun with the short alif when thus coupling it with الحِمَى.
