جُثَمَةٌ جاثم جثم جثمه جثمة : see جَثَّامَةٌ: ― -b2- and جُثَامٌ.

جُثْمَانٌ جثمان The body, with the limbs or members; syn. جِسْمٌ: and i. q. شَخْصٌ [app. as meaning a person; not, as J seems to have held, a corporeal, or material, form or thing or substance, such as is seen from a distance; see جِسْمٌ]: (K:) or, accord. to As, it has the latter meaning, i. q. شَخْصٌ; and جُسْمَانٌ has the former meaning, that of جِسْمٌ (S, Msb) and جَسَدٌ: (Msb:) or, accord. to AZ, جُثْمَانٌ is syn. with جُسْمَانٌ, (S, Msb,) i. e. جَسَدٌ. (S.) One says, مَا أَحْسَنَ جُثْمَانَ الرَّجُلِ and جُسْمَانَهُ, meaning [ How goodly, or beautiful, is] the body, or person, of the man ! (AZ, S.) J cites, as an ex. of this word in the sense of شخص, from a verse of Bishr, سَنَامٌ كَجُثْمَانِ البَنِيِّةِ أَتْلَعَا observing that by البنيّة is meant the Kaabeh: but IB says that the right reading, as found in his poetry, is البَلِيَّةِ, and أَتْلَعُ; and that the meaning is, A [long] hump like the جثمان [or body] of the she-camel that is placed [and confined without food or water until she dies] at the grave of a dead man. (TA.) One says also, جَاآءَنَا بِثَرِيدٍ كَجُثْمَانِ المَاآءِ [ He brought us crumbled bread moistened with broth and piled up, like the body of the bird of the kind called قَطًا]. (S.)

جُثْمَانِيَّةُ المَاآءِ جثمانية الماآء , as used in the saying of ElFarajeeyeh, (K,) so in the copies of the K, [or El-Faraheeyeh, accord. to the CK,] but correctly of El-Farezdak, (TA,) وَبَاتَتْ بِجُثْمَانِيَّةِ المَاآءِ نِيبُهَا اـِلَى ذَاتِ رَحْلٍ كَا@لْمَاآتِمِ حُسَّرَا means The water itself: or the middle thereof: or the place where it collected. (K TA.) [The poet says, And her aged she-camels passed the night in the water, &c., . . . . like the companies of mourning women having the head, or the face, &c., uncovered: but what is meant by الي ذات رحل, unless it be with one having a saddle upon her, اـِلَى being sometimes used in the sense of مَعَ I am unable to conjecture. In the CK, نَيْبَها and كالمٰاثِمِ are erroneously put for نِيبُهَا and كَالمَاآتِمِ.]
