بدلن بالناصع لونا مسهما، ... ونظرا هون الهوينا برهما

They exchanged the bright color for a sun-kissed hue, ... and gazed intently without haste.

قال: البرهم من قولهم برهم إذا أدام النظر؛

He said: 'Al-burhum' is from their saying 'barhama' when one gazes intently;

الأصمعي: برهم وبرشم إذا أدام النظر.

Al-Asma'i: 'Barhama' and 'barshama' mean to gaze intently.

غيره: البرهمة إدامة النظر وسكون الطرف.

Others: 'Al-barhama' is the continuous gaze and stillness of the eye.

الكسائي: البرطمة والبرهمة كهيئة التخاوص.

Al-Kisa'i: 'Al-burtama' and 'al-barhama' are like the manner of intense staring.

وإبراهيم: اسم أعجمي وفيه لغات: إبراهام وإبراهم وإبراهم، بحذف الياء؛

And 'Ibrahim': it is a foreign name, and it has several pronunciations: 'Ibrahim', 'Ibraham', and 'Ibrahm', with the omission of the 'ya';

عذت بما عاذ به إبراهم ... مستقبل القبلة، وهو قائم، إني لك اللهم عان راغم

I sought refuge in what 'Ibrahm' sought refuge in... facing the Qibla, and he was standing, 'Indeed, O Allah, I am your helper, though reluctant.'

وتصغير إبراهيم أبيرة، وذلك لأن الألف من الأصل لأن بعدها أربعة أحرف أصول، والهمزة لا تلحق ببنات الأربعة زائدة في أولها، وذلك يوجب حذف آخره كما يحذف من سفرجل فيقال سفيرج، وكذلك القول في إسماعيل وإسرافيل، وهذا قول المبرد،

And the diminutive of 'Ibrahim' is 'Ubayrih', and that is because the 'alif' is original, as it is followed by four root letters, and the hamza is not added to words of four letters as an addition at the beginning, and this necessitates omitting its end, just as is omitted from 'safargal' (quince) to say 'safarij', and the same applies to 'Isma'il' and 'Israfil'. This is the view of Al-Mubarrad,

وبعضهم يتوهم أن الهمزة زائدة إذا كان الاسم أعجميا فلا يعلم اشتقاقه، فيصغره على بريهيم وسميعيل وسريفيل، وهذا قول سيبويه وهو حسن، والأول قياس،

And some of them assume that the hamza is an addition if the name is foreign and its derivation is unknown, so they form the diminutive as 'Burayhim', 'Sumay'il', and 'Surayfil'. This is the view of Sibawayh, and it is sound, while the first is analogical,

ومنهم من يقول بريه بطرح الهمزة والميم.

And some of them say 'Burayh' by dropping the hamza and the mim.

والبراهمة: قوم لا يجوزون على الله تعالى بعثة الرسل.

And 'Al-Barahima': a people who do not permit the sending of messengers by God Almighty.
