(Msb.) ― -b4- And رَمَى القَنَصَ, (S, M,) or الصَّيْدَ, [ He shot, or shot at, the animal, or animals, of the chase, ] inf. n. رَمْىٌ and رِمَايَةٌ, (Msb,) or رَمْىٌ, and none other. (M.) [And رَمَاهُ بِكَذَا He threw at him, cast at him, or shot at him, with such a thing; i. e. he threw it, cast it, or shot it, at him: and, more commonly, he threw at him, or cast at him, and hit him, or he shot him, with such a thing: namely, with a stone, an arrow, &c.
