فدم

فَدْمٌ ذ Impotent (T, S, M, K) in speech, (T, M, K,) and in adducing an argument; (T, M;) [as though his mouth were covered with a فِدَام, for it is said in the S to be from فَدَمْتُ عَلَى فِيهِ بِالفِدَامِ;] heavy, sluggish, or dull; (S;) or with heaviness, sluggishness, or dulness, and softness, and paucity of understanding: (M, K:) or unintelligent: (Msb:) and thick; (M, K;) fat; (M;) foolish, or stupid; rough, rude, or uncivil: (M, K:) accord. to IAar, the heavy, sluggish, or dull; as being likened to blood, which is thus called: (T:) and ثَدْمٌ is a dial. var. thereof, or, accord. to Yaakoob, the ث is a substitute for the ف: (M:) the fem. is with ة: (M, Msb, K:) and the pl. is فِدَامٌ [agreeably with analogy]. (M, K: in a copy of the T فُدُم [which I think a mistranscription].) ― -b2- Also Heavy [and app. thick ] blood: and, accord. to IAar, blood [itself]. (T.) ― -b3- And A garment, or piece of cloth, (T, TA,) saturated with dye, (T,) or saturated with red dye by its being put again into the safflower time after time. (TA.)
