زَوْمَرٌ ذ : see زُمْرَةٌ: -A2- and see also زَمِيرٌ. ― -b2- Also Playing; or a player. (O.)

مُزَمَّرٌ ذ (assumed tropical:) Shackled [ with a زَمَّارة]. (O, TA.)

مِزْمَارٌ ذ A musical reed, or pipe; (S, * A, Msb, * K, * TA;) what is called in Persian نَاىْ [now generally meaning a flute ]; (marginal note in a copy of the KT;) as also ↓ زَمَّارَةٌ, (K,) [which latter, by many pronounced زُمَّارَة, and generally so pronounced in Egypt, is applied to a double reed-pipe, figured and described in my work on the Modern Egyptians,] and ↓ مَزْمُورٌ and ↓ مَزْمُورٌ, (IAth,) the latter like مَغْلُوقٌ and مَغْرُودٌ: (TA:) pl. of the first, (S, A,) and of the last two, مَزَامِيرُ. (S, * A.) It is related in a trad., that Mohammad, on hearing Aboo-Moosà El-Ash'aree reciting, said to him, لَقَدْ أُعْطِيتَ مِزْمَارًا مِنْ مَزَامِيرِ اآلِ دَاوُودَ (tropical:) [ Verily thou hast been gifted with a pipe like that of David himself ]; likening the sweetness of his voice and melody to the sound of the مِزْمَار; (TA;) as though he had musical pipes in his throat: or مزاميراآل داوود is here the same as مَزْمُورَات دَاوُود: (A:) for, ― -b2- مَزَامِيرُ دَاوُودَ also signifies [ The Psalms of David; ] what David used to sing, or chant, (يَتَغَنَّى بِهِ, in the CK يُتَغَنَّى به,) of the Psalms: (K:) and to such is likened the utmost sweetness of voice in reciting: and اآل is said to be here redundant or pleonastic; meaning the person: (TA:) or (so in the TA, but in the K “ and ”) مزامير داوود signifies kinds of prayer, or supplication: it is pl. of مِزْمَارٌ and of ↓ مَزْمُورٌ or مُزْمُورٌ. (So in different copies of the K.)
