Root entry · 1 derived lemma

المِرْزَمُ ذ is a name of The right star [app. γ , i. e. Bellatrix, ] in the left arm of الجَبَّار [or Orion ]. (Kzw. [Golius says, as on the authority of Kzw, that it is “ a star in the right shoulder of Orion: ” but Kzw says that this star (which is a of Orion) is called مَنْكِبُ الجَوْزَاآءِ and يَدُ الجَوْزَاآءِ; and then he mentions that in the left arm, as being called المرزم: whence it seems that Golius was misled by the omission of some words in a copy of the work of Kzw.]) And المِرْزَمَانِ, (S, K,) also called مِرْزَمَا الشِّعْرَيَيْنِ, (S,) is the name of Two stars [ of which one is commonly known as B of Canis Major, and the other is app. B of Canis Minor, though Golius says, on the authority of Ulugh Beg, that the former is in the right hind leg of Canis Major, ] with the شِعْرَيَانِ [by which latter appellation are meant Sirius and Procyon ], (K,) or one of which is in [or by ] الشِّعْرَى [commonly so called, i. e. Sirius, ] and the other is in الذِّرَاع [by which is meant الذِّرَاع المَقْبُوضَة, i. e. the asterism consisting of a and B of Canis Minor ]; (S;) or one of them is الذراع المقبوضة [mentioned above and the other is الشِّعْرَى (q. v.) commonly so called]: thus says Ibn-Kunáseh: both are of the stars of rain: and sometimes the sing. appellation (المِرْزَمُ) is used [app. as applied to Sirius, or to Bellatrix, or perhaps to B of Canis Minor]. (TA.) نَوْءُ المِرْزَمِ [means The auroral setting of some one of the stars above mentioned; for it] is so termed because of its intense cold. (TA. See 1.) السَّمَاكُ المِرْزَمُ is another name for السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ [ The star Arcturus ]. (Az and TA in art. رمح. [This star neither sets nor rises aurorally in the cold season, nor is it one of the Mansions of the Moon; but it rises aurorally during “ the first of the rains, ” the autumnal rain, called الوَسْمِىّ.]) ― -b2- أُمُّ مِرْزَمٍ (tropical:) The north wind: (S, K, TA:) or the cold north wind: (Skr, on a verse of Sakhr-el-Gheí:) from رَزَامَةُ النَّاقَةِ meaning “ the [gentle] yearning cry of the she-camel: ” (TA:) or it signifies, (ISd, TA,) or signifies also, (K,) the wind: (ISd, K, TA:) thus expl. by ISd without any restriction. (TA.)
