Parallel reading

وهو غير مستعمل في الكلام

and it is not used in speech

وهو مطمئن، وذاك مطمأن

and he is settled, and that one is settled

ذهب سيبويه إلى أن اطمأن مقلوب، وأن أصله من طأمن

Sibawayh went so far as to say that 'iṭma'anna' is an inversion, and that its origin is from 'ta'mana'

وخالفه أبو عمر وفرأى ضد ذلك

and Abu 'Amr differed from him and saw the opposite

وقال الشهاب في شرح الشفاء: يقال إنه كاحمار ثم همز، وقيل: كانت الهمزة قبل الميم فقلبت

And Al-Shihab said in the commentary on Al-Shifa: it is said that it is like 'iḥmārra' then hamzated, and it is said: the hamza was before the mim, so it was inverted

وفي الروض للسهيلي: وزن اطمأن افلعل، لأن أصل الميم أن تكون بعد الألف لأنه من تطامن إذا تطأطأ

And in Al-Rawd by Al-Suhayli: the pattern of 'iṭma'anna' is 'ifla'alla', because the origin of the mim is to be after the alif because it is from 'taṭāmana' when it stoops

وإنما قدموها لتباعد الهمزة التي هي عين الفعل من همزة الوصل، فيكون أخف لفظا كما قلبوا أشياء في قول الخليل وسيبويه فرارا من تقارب الهمزتين

And they only brought it forward to distance the hamza, which is the 'ayn' of the verb, from the wasl hamza, so that it would be lighter in pronunciation, just as they inverted things according to Al-Khalil and Sibawayh, fleeing from the proximity of the two hamzas

وتصغيره، أي المطمئن: طميئن، بحذف الميم من أوله وإحدى النونين من آخره

And its diminutive, meaning 'al-muṭma'inn': 'ṭumayyi'n', by deleting the mim from its beginning and one of the two nuns from its end

وتصغير طمأنينة: طميئنة بحذف إحدى النونين من آخره لأنها زائدة

طمأن ظهره: طامنه أي حناه

He bent his back: he lowered it, meaning he bent it

وطامنه بغير همز لأن الهمزة التي دخلت في اطمأن حذار الجمع بين الساكنين

And he lowered it without hamza because the hamza that entered into 'iṭma'anna' was to avoid the accumulation of two consonants

طمأن من الأمر: سكن

He calmed down from the matter: he became still
