زم

زَامٌّ ذ [act. part. n. of زَمَّ]. زَأَمَّهَا [meaning Attaching a زِمَام to her ] occurs used by poetic license for زَامَّهَا, because of the concurrence of two quiescent letters; like اِسْوَأَدَّتْ for اِسْوَادَّتْ. (S.) ― -b2- (assumed tropical:) Magnifying, or exalting, himself; or elevating his nose, from pride: (S, TA:) [and in like manner ↓ زَمٌّ:] one says, زَأَيْتُهُ زَمًّا (assumed tropical:) I saw him magnifying, or exalting, himself, &c., not speaking: (TA:) pl. of the former زُمَّمٌ. (S, TA.) ― -b3- See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph. ― -b4- Also, accord. to El-Harbee, applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) Fearing, or afraid; syn. فَزِعٌ. (TA.)
