(TA.) ― -b2- [Accord. to Golius, on the authority of a gloss. in the KL, it signifies also, He went into a region of hot air: and this, if correct, may be the primary meaning.] -A2- اتهم البَلَدَ He found the country, or town, to be insalubrious, (K, TA,) and to have a bad, or foul, odour. (TA.) -A3- اتهم, inf. n. اـِتْهَامٌ; in measure like أَكْرَمَ, inf. n. اـِكْرَامٌ; (Msb;) [originally اوهم; or] formed from تُهَمَةٌ, in consequence of imagining the ت in this word to be radical; (MF in art. وهم;) [like as is said of أَتْخَمَ;] He did a thing that made him an object of suspicion: (JK and Msb and TA in the present art.:) or he was an object of suspicion: (K in art. وهم: [in the CK and TK, erroneously, اتّهم:]) or there was in him that which induced suspicion: you say of a man, when you suspect him, أَتْهَمْتَ, inf. n. اـِتْهَامٌ; like أَدْوَأْتَ, inf. n. اـِدْوَاآءٌ. (S in art. وهم.) -A4- اتهمهُ He suspected him; thought evil of him; as also ↓ اِتَّهَمَهُ [which is the more common]. (Msb in this art.) You say, اتهمهُ بِكَذَا, (K, and so in some copies of the S, both in art. وهم,) inf. n. اـِتْهَامٌ; (K in that art.;) or بِهِ ↓ اِتَّهَمَهُ; (Msb and K, and so in some copies of the S, all in that art.;) and أَوْهَمَهُ; (K in that art.;) He suspected him of such a thing; imputed it to him; (Msb and K * and TA, all in that art.;) [and he accused him of such a thing; ] i. e., a thing attributed to him.
