سُمَيْرِيَّةٌ ذ A certain kind of ships. (S.) [سُمَيْرِىٌّ signifies the same, (Golius on the authority of Meyd.,) applied to A single ship of that kind. ] ― -b2- IAar mentions the saying, أَعْطَيْتُهُ سُمَيْرِيَّةً مِنْ دَرَاهِمَ كَأَنَّ الدُّخَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا, without explaining it: [ISd says,] I think he meant, [ I gave him ] دَرَاهِم سُمْر, i. e. dusky dirhems, as though smoke were issuing from them by reason of their duskiness: or dirhems of which the whiteness was fresh.
