(AZ.) ↓ أَشْرَبُ فَأَتَقَمَّحُ, said by Umm-Zara, means (tropical:) [ I drink ] and I satisfy my thirst until I am not able to drink more, so I raise my head like the [ camel that is said to be ] مُقَامِح: (A, TA: *) Az says that التَّقَمُّحُ primarily relates to water, but is metaphorically used by her in relation to milk: she means that she satisfied her thirst with milk until she raised her head from drinking it like as does the camel when he dislikes drinking water: (TA:) or, as some relate her words, she said, فَأَتَقَنَّحُ, (A, TA, *) which [likewise] means, “ and I raise my head in consequence of the being satisfied with drinking. ” (A.) [See also art. قنح.] ― -b2- قَمَحَ, aor. قَمَحَ , inf. n. قُمُوحٌ, is also expl. by Lth as signifying He (a camel) became very languid by reason of vehement thirst: but accord. to Az, this is wrong.
