(TA.) [See also شَلِيَّةٌ.] ― -b3- Also Any skinned animal of which somewhat has been eaten and a portion remains: (K:) or a portion remaining, whether much or little, of a sheep or goat of which part has been eaten: (L voce سَلِيخٌ:) pl. أَشْلَاآءٌ.

(TA.) And hence the saying, شَامَمْنَاهُمْ ثُمَّ نَاوَشْنَاهُمْ (tropical:) [ We endeavoured, or looked, to ascertain their condition; then we engaged them in near, though not close, conflict ]. (TA.) You say also, شَامَمْتُ الرَّجُلَ meaning [simply] (assumed tropical:) I drew near to the man. (S.) مُشَامَّةٌ [used tropically] signifies (assumed tropical:) The looking into a thing. (KL.)

(TA.) ― -b4- And اشمّ الحَرْفَ, (S, * K,) inf. n. اـِشْمَامٌ, (S,) (assumed tropical:) He made the consonant to have a smack of the dammeh or the kesreh, (lit., made it to smell, S, or to taste, K, the dammeh or the kesreh, ) in such a manner (S, K) that the اـِشْمَام, (S,) or that the dammeh or kesreh, (K,) was not heard, (S, K,) what is termed اـِشْمَامُ الحَرْفِ being less than what is termed رَوْمُ الحَرَكَةِ, the former being apparent only by the motion of the lip, (S,) or of the upper lip, (so in one of my copies of the S,) no account being taken of it, (S, K,) i. e. of the dammeh or kesreh, (K,) it not being reckoned as a حَرَكَة because of its feebleness, the consonant in this case being quiescent or like that which is quiescent, (S,) and the prosodical measure not being broken thereby: (K:) for ex., in the following verse, مَتَى أَنَامُ لَا يُؤَرِّقْنِى الكَرِى لَيْلًا وَلَا أَسْمَعُ أَجْرَاسَ المَطِى [meaning الكَرِىّ and المَطِىّ, (as is said in one of my copies of the S,) i. e. When I sleep, he who lets beasts on hire will not render me wakeful by night, nor do I hear the bells of the camels on which people ride ], the Arabs [or, as is said in the TA, some of the Arabs] make the ق [in يؤرّقنى] to have a smack of the dammeh; but if you took account of the حَرَكَة of the اـِشْمَام [in this case,] the measure of the verse would be broken, [the foot] رقنى الكرى becoming, in the scanning, مُتَفَاعِلُنْ, which may be only in the كَامِل; whereas this verse is of the رَجَز: (Sb, S:) another case of اـِشْمَام is that of the ى in دُوَيْبَّةٌ, [in which that letter is quiescent, but made to have a smack of kesreh,] as is the same letter in every similar case, in a dim. noun, when followed by a doubled letter. (Zj, T in art. دب.) Also He pronounced the consonant with a حَرَكَة [or vowel-sound ] between damm and kesr, apparent only in utterance, not in writing; as in قِيلَ and غِيضَ in the Kur xi. 46. (I 'Ak pp. 130 and 131.) [See also رَوْمُ الحَرَكَةِ, voce رَامَ.] ― -b5- [Golius explains اشمّ as signifying also “ Reduxit, fecit ut converteret se ab aliqua re; ” as on the authority of the KL; in my copy of which, however, I do not find this meaning.] -A2- اشمّ, (S, K,) inf. n. اـِشْمَامٌ, [as an intrans. verb,] said of a man, (S,) also signifies He passed by, or along, raising his head; (S, K, TA;) and magnified, or exalted, himself; behaved proudly, or disdainfully; or elevated his nose, from pride. (TA. [See also 1, near the end.]) ― -b2- And He turned away from a thing. (K.) One says بَيْنَا هُمْ فِى وَجْهٍ اـِذْ أَشَمُّوا, i. e. [ While they were in a certain direction, lo, ] they turned away; (S, TA, as from AA;) or ↓ شَمُّوا. (Thus in one of my copies of the S [but I think it to be a mistranscription].) And اشمّ القَوْمُ The people, or party, deviated in their directions to the right and left: a phrase heard in this sense by AA. (S.)

(KL.) ― -b3- دَخَلَ المُخَاطُ أَنْفَهُ فَأْسْتَشَمَّهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ فِى حَلْقِهِ, said of a man, means اِسْتَنْشَقَهُ [i. e. (tropical:) The mucus entered his nose, and he snuffed it up, and made it to pass into his fauces ]; the verb being metaphorically thus used, like as الاِسْتِنْشَاقُ is metaphorically used for الشَّمُّ.

(Ham p. 728.) ― -b6- Also Highness, (K,) or tallness of the head, (S,) of a mountain. (S, K.) ― -b7- And (tropical:) Nearness: and (tropical:) remoteness: thus having two contr. meanings. (K, TA.) It has both of such meanings in the phrase دَارُهُ شَمَمٌ (tropical:) [ His house, or abode, is near: and, remote ]: (K, TA:) and in the phrase رَأَيْتُهُ مِنْ شَمَمٍ (tropical:) [ I saw him, or it, from within a short distance: and, from afar ]. (TA.)

شَمُومٌ ذ A thing [ odorous, fragrant, or] fit to be smelt. (KL.)

شَمِيمٌ ذ High, or elevated: (S, K:) applied in this sense to a [camel's saddle such as is called] قَتَب. (S.)

شَمَّامٌ ذ A sort of melon resembling a small colocynth, [or rather a small melon resembling a colocynth, ] streaked with redness and greenness and yellowness: called in Pers. دَسْتَنْبُويَه [i. e. “ perfume ”]; (K;) originally دَسْتْ بُوى [or دَسْتْ بُويَهْ]: (TA:) its odour is cool, pleasant, lenitive, and narcotic; and the eating of it is laxative to the bowels: (K:) [The cucumis dudaïm of Linn.; called by Forskål cucumis schemmam: the latter thus describes it (Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. 169): “ Caules 5-sulcati, setis rigidis, scandentes, cirrhosi: folia cordato-oblonga, acuta, subsinuata, dentato-repanda, hispida: calyces villosi, molles: flores flavi, conferti in alis: fructus globosoovatus, glaberrimus, magnitudine citri, flavus, maculis inæqualibus, fulvo-ferrugineis, versus polos in lineas confluentibus; pulpa aquosa, seminibus tota plena: fructus juvenis villosus; maturus glaber: odor, fortis nec ingratus; eamque ob caussam cultus; non edulis: ” in the present day, the same appellation is applied in Egypt to several species of melon, of pleasant odour and taste; but this application I believe to be of very late origin: see also لُفَّاحٌ: and see De Sacy's “ Rel. de l'Égypte par Abd-allatif, ” pp. 126-7.]

شَمَّامَاتٌ ذ Sweet odours that one smells. (K.)
