سَوْمٌ ذ [is originally an inf. n.: see 1, passim: -A2- and is also used as a subst. signifying The price of any commodity, or article of merchandise; like ↓ سِيمَةٌ and ↓ سُومَةٌ]. You say, سَأَلْتُهُ سَوْمَهَا, and ذَكَرَ لِى سَوْمَهَا, referring to a سِلْعَة [or commodity]: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph. And حَسَنَةً ↓ سُمْتُكَ بَعِيرَكَ سِيمَةً, and اِسْتَامَ غَالِيَةً ↓ فِيهِ سِيمَةً: see again 1, in the latter half of the paragraph. And ↓ اـِنَّهُ لَغَالِى السِّيمَةِ (S, M, K) and ↓ السُّومَةِ, meaning السَّوْمِ [i. e. Verily it is dear in price ]. (M, K.) ↓ سِيمَةٌ and ↓ سُومَةٌ are both substs. from سَامَ as used in the phrase سَامَنِى الرَّجُلُ بِسِلْعَتِهِ [and the like]; (TA;) syn. with قِيمَةٌ. (Har p. 435 in explanation of the former.)
