الإسراع في كل شيء، عن ابن الأعرابي، قال: وأصله في الدجاجة.

Hastening in everything, from Ibn al-A'rabi, who said: Its origin is in the hen.

والدمص: إسقاط الكلبة ولدها، يقال: دمصت الكضلبة بجروها: ألقته لغير تمام، قال الأزهري: ولا يقال أسقطت، في الكلاب، وجوزه بعضهم.

And 'ad-damṣ' is the dropping of her young by a female dog. It is said: 'The female dog dropped her pup: she cast it out incompletely.' Al-Azhari said: 'It is not said 'asqaṭat' (she dropped) for dogs, though some permit it.'

ويقال: دمصت السباع، إذا ولدت ووضعت ما في بطونها، وكذلك ذوات المخالب من الطير.

And predators are said to 'damuṣu' when they give birth and expel what is in their wombs, and likewise for clawed birds.

والدمص أيضا: إسقاط الدجاجة بيضها، يقال: دمصت بالكيكة، أي البيضة، وهذا هو الأصل.

And 'ad-damṣ' is also the dropping of her eggs by a hen. It is said: 'She dropped the egg,' meaning the egg, and this is the origin.

ويقال للمرأة إذا رمت ولدها بزحرة واحدة: قد دمصت به، وزكبت به.

And it is said of a woman who delivers her child in a single push: 'She has 'damuṣat' him, and 'zakabat' him.'

ودمصت الناقة بولدها: أزلقته.

And the she-camel 'damuṣat' her young: she slipped it out.

والدمص، بالتحريك: رقة الحاجب من أخر وكثافته من قدم، وقيل: هو قلة شعر الرأس ورقة مواضع منه، وقد دمص، كفرح، فيهما، والنعت أدمص ودمصاء.

And 'ad-damṣ', with harakah (vowelization), is the thinness of the eyebrow from the outer part and its thickness from the inner part. It is also said to be the scarcity of scalp hair and thinness in places thereof. And one becomes 'damuṣa' (thin-haired), like 'fariḥa'. The adjective is 'admaṣ' and 'damṣā'.

وربما قالوا: أدمص الرأس، إذا رق منه مواضع وقل شعره.

And sometimes they say: 'The head 'admaṣa', if places on it become thin and its hair becomes sparse.

والدمص، بالكسر: كل عرق من الحائط خلا العرق الأسفل فإنه رهص، كما في الصحاح.

And 'ad-damṣ', with kasrah (vowelization), is every crack in the wall, except the lowest crack, which is 'rahaṣ', as in Al-Ṣiḥāḥ.

وقال الجوهري: الدومص: بيضة الحديد.

And Al-Jawhari said: 'Ad-dawmaṣ' is an iron egg.

And Tha'lab said: 'Ad-dawmaṣ' means eggs. And Abu 'Amr said: 'The egg is called 'ad-dawmaṣah'. And Tha'lab recited for Ghadiyah al-Dubayriyyah about her son Murhib: (Oh, would that he had been an 'admaṣa' old man... so that the skull resembled the 'dawmaṣa' from him.)
