جَامِسٌ جامس Grease, (A,) and clarified butter, (TA,) and water, (S,) or it is improperly applied to the last, (As, TA,) in a state of congelation. (S, A, Mgh, TA.) ― -b2- A plant that has lost its freshness, or juiciness, (AHn, K,) and become old, and hard, or tough. (AHn, TA.) ― -b3- صَخْرَةٌ جَامِسَةٌ A tough rock, (TA,) firm in its place.
