تَهَمٌ أهم هام هم هما تهم تهمة وهم [in the CK, erroneously, تَهْم] Land descending (أَرْضٌ مُتَصَوِّبَةٌ [in the CK, here and afterwards, erroneously, مُتَصَوِّيَة]) to the sea; as also ↓ تَهَمَةٌ; (K, TA;) mentioned by IKt, from Ez-Ziyádee, from As: (TA:) these two words seem to be [originally] inf. ns. from تِهَامَةُ: (K:) [and accord. to F,] ↓ التَّهْمَةُ is a dial. var. of ↓ تِهَامَةُ: (K:) [but J says,] ↓ التَّهَمَةُ is used in the place of ↓ تِهَامَةُ, as though it were [originally] the inf. n. un., accord. to the saying of As that التَّهَمُ, with fet-h to the medial radical, is an inf. n. from ↓ تِهَامَةُ: (S:) for the ↓ تَهَائِم [pl. of تِهَامَةُ, and thus meaning the parts of Tihámeh, or, accord. to the JK, meaning lands descending to the sea, ] do descend to the sea: (K, TA:) so says As: (TA:) and [hence] the rájiz says, (namely, Sheytán Ibn-Mudlij, TA,) نَظَرْتُ وَالعَيْنُ مُبِينَةُ التَّهَمْ [ I looked, the eye distinguishing Et-Taham ], (S, and Ham p. 659,) meaning Et-Tihámeh. (Ham ibid.) ― -b2- [As inf. n. of تَهِمَ, q. v.,] التَّهَمُ also signifies Vehemence of heat, and [or with ] stillness of the wind. (K.) And hence Tihámeh is said to be thus called. (TA.)
