4 أَغْمَىَ see 1, in four places. ― -b2- One says also, أُغْمِىَ عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرُ The information, or narration, was dubious, confused, or vague, to him; such as was difficult to be understood; or such as was not to be understood; like غُمَّ: (S:) or was obscure, or unapparent, to him. (Msb.) ― -b3- And أُغْمِىَ عَلَيْهِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِغْمَاآءٌ; (Mgh, Msb;) and عليه ↓ غُمِىَ; (S, Msb, K;) said of a sick man, (S, Msb, K,) He swooned, i. e. became senseless, (غُشِىَ عَلَيْهِ, S, * K,) and then recovered his senses: (K:) or اـِغْمَاآءٌ is a weakness of the faculties by reason of the overpowering effect of disease: (Mgh:) or it is an abstraction, or absence of mind, that overtakes a man, with languor of the limbs, or members, or organs, by reason of a malady; (Mgh, Msb;) thus it is defined by the scholastic theologians; and is the same as غُشْىٌ: (Mgh:) or it is a repletion of the venters of the brain with a cold, thick, phlegm; (Mgh, Msb;) thus accord. to the physicians, who distinguish between it and غُشْىٌ, as do the lawyers: (Mgh:) [see also غُشِىَ عَلَيْهِ:] the patient is said to be عَلَيْهِ ↓ مُغْمًى, (S, Mgh, and so in some copies of the K,) and عَلَيْهِ ↓ مَغْمِىٌّ, (S, Msb, and so in some copies of the K,) and ↓ غَمًى, which last epithet is applied to a single person, (S, K,) and to two persons, (S,) and to a pl. number, (S, K,) and to a female [as well as a male], (S,) or (if you will, S) you say هُمَا غَمَيَانِ and هُمْ أَغْمَاآءٌ. (S, K.)
