رتم

رَتْمٌ ذ (S, M, K) and ↓ رَتِيمٌ (M, K) and ↓ مَرْتُومٌ (S, K) signify the same; i. e. Broken: (S, M, K:) and bruised, or crushed, (M, K, TA,) much: (M, and so accord. to the CK:) the first being an inf. n. used as an epithet. (M, K.) Ows Ibn-Hajar says, لَأَصَبَحَ رَتْمًا دُقَاقَ الحَصَى مَكَانَ النَّبِىِّ مِنَ الكَاثِبِ (S, in the present art.,) i. e. It (referring to a mountain called الصَاقِب) would become [ broken, having the pebbles crushed, ] like the sands around the mountain El-Káthib. (S in art. نبو. [But there are other explanations of النبىّ and الكاثب as here used. In the T, in art. رثم, a different reading is given: لاصبح رَثْمًا.]) -A2- See also رَتِيمَةٌ. ― -b2- [Freytag, misled by the CK, has assigned to رَتْمٌ a signification that belongs to رَتَمٌ.]
