[This last explanation has been misunderstood by the Turkish translator of the K; who has hence been led to assert that one says, سَمَتَ الشَّىْءَ as well as سَمَتَ نَحْوَهُ, meaning قَصَدَهُ: it is تَسَمَّتَهُ that (like سَمَتَ نَحْوَهُ) signifies قَصَدَهُ; not سَمَتَهُ, for سَمَتَ is always intrans.] ― -b3- Also The journeying (S, M, K) upon the road (M, K) [ guided only ] by opinion (S, M, K) and conjecture: (S:) or, as some say, the journeying by conjecture and opinion, not upon a [ known ] road.

(L.) And سَمَحَ لِى, (S,) or لَهُ, (A,) He gave (S, A) to me, (S,) or to him: (A:) and بِكَذَا ↓ سَامَحَهُ he gave him such a thing. (Msb.) And سَمَحَ لِى بِذٰلِكَ, and ↓ اسمح, and ↓ سامح, He complied with my desire in that thing. (L: see also a similar phrase below.) ― -b2- سَمَحَتْ, said of a she-camel, means She became submissive, and went quickly: (L:) and ↓ اسمحت said of a beast (دَابَّة), it became gentle and submissive after being refractory: (L, K: *) and in like manner ↓ اسمح; (A;) and ↓ سمّح, inf. n. تَسْمِيحٌ; (L;) said of a camel: (A, L:) or تَسْمِيحٌ signifies the going an easy pace: (S, L, K:) and the going quickly: (L, K:) or (so in the L, but in the K “ and ”) the act of fleeing. (L, K.) And ↓ اسمح It became easy and submissive. (L.) You say, قَرُونَتُهُ ↓ أَسْمَحَتْ, (S, A, K,) and قَرِينَتُهُ, as also ↓ سَامَحَتْ, (L,) His mind became submissive, (S, A, L, K,) لِذٰلِكَ الأَمْرِ to that thing.

(L.) It is said in a well-known trad., السَّمَاحُ رَبَاحٌ The acting in an easy, or a gentle, manner, in affairs, is a means of gain, or profit, to the performer thereof. (L.) And you say, فِى الأَمْرِ ↓ سامحهُ He acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner with him. (TK.) And سَمَحَ لَهُ and بِهِ, and ↓ اسمح, He made [a thing] easy to him. (L.) And اِسْمَحْ يُسْمَحْ لَكَ (Meyd, Mgh, L) and بِكَ, (L,) and يُسْمَحْ لَكَ ↓ أَسْمِحْ (Meyd, L) and بِكَ, (L,) a trad., (Mgh, L,) meaning Facilitate thou, and facilitation shall be rendered to thee: (As, Sh, L:) or act thou in an easy, or a gentle, manner, and easy, or gentle, treatment, shall be rendered to thee: (Mgh:) or be thou compliant, and compliance shall be rendered to thee.

6 تسامحوا ذ They acted in an easy, or a gentle, manner, one with another. (S, A, K.) ― -b2- [Hence] تَسَامُحٌ [as a conventional term in lexicology, or in relation to language,] is [ A careless, or defective, manner of expression, ] when the meaning of a sentence is not known, and, in order to its being understood, requires another word or phrase to be supplied: (KT:) [or the using a careless mode of expression, relying upon the understanding of the reader or hearer; as also ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ: or] a deficiency in what a speaker says, relying upon [ the knowledge of ] the person addressed. (Marginal note in a copy of the KT, subsigned سمع [app. to denote that the authority is Isma'eel Hakkee].) [See also تَسَاهُلٌ, which is often used as though it were syn. with تَسَامُحٌ.] ― -b3- The primary meaning of تَسَامُحٌ and ↓ تَسَمُّحٌ is [said to be] The being wide, or ample: whence the phrase فِى الحَقِّ مَسْمَحٌ [expl. below]. (Msb.)

You say also, فُلَانٌ سَمْحٌ لَمْحٌ and لَمِيحٌ ↓ سَمِيحٌ [app. meaning Such a one is very liberal, &c.; for in each case the latter epithet is probably an imitative sequent, and therefore a corroborative].
