(Msb:) and the contr. of يوْمٌ is لَيْلَةٌ, so says Az, on the authority of AHeyth (TA:) or it has pls.: namely, أَنْهُرٌ, (IAar, S, K,) a pl. of pauc., (S,) in some lexicons أَنْهِرَةٌ, (TA,) also a pl. of pauc.,] and نُهُرٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) a pl. of mult. (S) [See also نَهَرٌ.] Ibn-Keysán cites the following ex., لَوْلَا الثَّرِيدَان لَمُتْنَا بِالضُّمُرْ ثَرِيدُ لَيْلٍ وَثرِيدٌ بِالنَّهُرْ [ Were it not for the two thereeds (or messes of crumbled bread moistened with broth ), we had died of leanness: the thereed of night, and thereed in the day-times ].
