[See also 9: and see رَمَكَةٌ, as applied to a man.]) ― -b2- [It seems also that this verb is used in a similar sense in relation to a beast; like ارمكّ said of a camel: for it is immediately added in the O and TA without any explanation, that one also says, ↓ هٰذِهِ دَابَّةٌ رَامِكَةٌ, as though meaning This is a lean beast: and رَمَكَتْ, inf. n. رُمُوكٌ, as though meaning It was, or became, lean. ]

(O, TA. [Perhaps, however, AA knew not رَمَكٌ as a coll. gen. n. of which رَمَكَةٌ is the n. un.; for as such it seems to me more reasonable to regard it in this instance.])

(S, O.) ― -b2- [↓ رَامَكٌ, from the Pers. رَامَكْ, is also the name of A certain astringent medicine, used as a remedy for dysentery &c. In the printed edition of the “ Kánoon ” of Ibn-Seenà (Avicenna), book ii. p. 253, it is erroneously written رمك.]

أَرْمَكُ ذ Of the colour termed رُمْكَةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) applied to a camel: fem. رَمْكَاآءُ. (S, Msb.) The رمكاآء is said by Honeyf-el-Hanátim, who was one of the most skilled of the Arabs respecting camels, to be the most beautiful of she-camels. (TA.) The fem. is also applied, tropically, to a woman. (Th, TA.) ― -b2- A poet says, [applying it to dust,] وَالخَيْلُ تَجْتَابُ الغُبَارَ الأَرْمَكَا [ And the horses, or horsemen, cleave the dark brown, or ash-coloured, &c., dust ].

And رَمَلَ السَّرِيرَ, (S, K,) [aor. and] inf. n. as above; (TA;) and ↓ ارملهُ; He wove (رَمَلَ) شَرِيط [or palm leaves split and then plaited together ], (S, O, K,) or some other thing, (S, O,) and made the same a back (جَعَلَهُ ظَهْرًا) to the couch. (S, O, K. [What is here called the “ back ” of the couch is app. so called as being likened to the back of a beast on which one rides: see رُمَالٌ.]) Accord. to IKt, رَمَلْتُ السير [app. a mistranscription for السَّرِيرَ] and ↓ أَرْمَلْتُهُ signify I wove the سير [or the سرير] with a شَرِيط of leaves, or fibres, of the palm-tree. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] رَمَلْتُ القَوْلَ and الوَصْفَ [(assumed tropical:) I wove, i. e. composed, the saying and the description ].

He went a kind of trotting pace, between a walk and a run ]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K; [in the M said to be “ less than المَشْىُ and above العَدْوُ; ” app., as is remarked in the TT, through inadvertence of a writer;]) i. e. (TA) he was quick in his manner of walking, (T, TA,) and shook his shoulder-joints, (TA,) leaping, (so in the T accord. to the TT,) or not leaping, (so in the TA,) in doing so; (T, TA;) while performing the circuitings round the Kaabeh, (T, Mgh, TA,) but only in some of those circuitings, exclusively of others, (TA,) which one does in imitation of the Prophet and his Companions, who did thus in order that the people of Mekkeh might know that there was in them strength; (T, TA;) and in going between Es-Safà and El-Marweh. (S, TA.) [It is also said of a camel: see رَتَكَ.] -A4- رَمَلٌ as an inf. n. [app. of رَمِلَ العَامُ or رَمِلَتِ السَّنَةُ] signifies The year's having little rain.

(TA.)

(TA.) And رُمِّلَ فُلَانٌ بِالدَّمِ Such a one was defiled, or smeared, with blood. (T, TA. [See also 4 and 5.]) ― -b3- In relation to speech, or language, (TA,) التَّرْمِيلُ signifies (tropical:) i. q. التَّزْيِيفُ; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, التَّرْنِيفُ;]) i. e., [as inf. n. of رَمَّلَ, The adulterating it, corrupting it, or rendering it unsound, or untrue; and as inf. n. of رُمِّلَ,] its being [ adulterated, corrupted, or] unsound, or untrue.

(K, * TA. [In the TT, as from the M, اتخذوه is erroneously put for أَنْفَدُوهُ, the explanation in the TA.]) ― -b4- And [hence,] ارملت, (Yz, T, S, Msb,) or, accord. to Sh, ارملت مِنْ زَوْجِهَا, or من زوجها ↓ رَمِلَتٌ; (T, accord. to different copies;) and ↓ رَمَّلَتْ [alone], (K, TA, [said in the latter to be on the authority of Sh, and therefore it may perhaps be taken from a copy of the T,]) inf. n. تَرْمِيلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) She (a woman) became such as is termed أَرْمَلَةٌ, (T, Msb, K, TA,) i. e. without a husband; (T, Msb;) because of her being in need of one to expend upon her; [for] Az says that she is not thus called unless she be also poor: (Msb:) or [ she became a widow; ] she lost her husband by his death. (S.) ― -b5- And ارمل said of an arrow, It became defiled, or smeared, with blood, (Ibn- 'Abbád, K, TA,) and had the mark thereof remaining upon it; (Ibn-'Abbád, TA;) and so ↓ ارتمل. (TA.
