جرم

جِرْمَةٌ جرم جرمه جرمة People cutting off the fruit of palmtrees. (S, K, TA.) [In this sense it is app. a pl. of pauc., or a quasi-pl. n., of جَارِمٌ, q. v.] ― -b2- Also Ripening dates cut off from the trees: and this sense, not the former as is implied in the S, is meant by Imra-el-Keys, where he says, عَلَوْنَ بِأَنْطَاكِيَّةٍ فَوْقَ عِقْمَةٍ كَجِرْمَةٍ نَخْلٍ أَوْ كَجَنَّةِ يَثْرِبَ [ They mounted, at Antioch, upon a variegated cloth, like the ripening dates cut off from palmtrees, or like the garden of Yethrib ]: he likens the variegated cloth and wool upon the هَوْدَج to red and yellow ripening dates, or to the garden of Yethrib because it abounded with palm-trees. (TA.)
