(TA.) ― -b3- جمهر المَتَاعَ He took the main part of the household-goods, or commodities: and in like manner the verb is used in relation to plants, or herbage. (Kitáb el- Addád, TA.) ― -b4- جمهر عَلَيْهِ الخَبَرَ, (Ks, S, K,) or لَهُ, (Lth, TA,) or اـِلَيْهِ, (AZ, TA,) He acquainted him with a part of the news, or story, and concealed what he desired, or meant: (Ks, S, K:) or he acquainted him with a part of the news, or story, incorrectly, or not in the proper manner, and omitted what he desired, or meant: (Lth, TA:) or he acquainted him with a small portion thereof, omitting most of what was necessary for him to know, and relating it in a manner different from the proper way: (AZ, TA:) and accord. to the Kitáb el-Addád of Abu-t-Teiyib the Lexicologist, it seems to have a contr. signification; for he says that جَمْهَرْتُ لَكَ الخَبَرَ means, I acquainted thee with the main part of the news, or story. (TA.)
