تَمَّ الشَّىْءُ , (T, S, M, K, &c.,) aor.
تَمِ3َ , (T, M,
K,) inf. n. تَمَامٌ, (T, S,) or تِمَامٌ, (M,) or both,
and تُمَامٌ, (K,) and تَمَامَةٌ (M, K) and تِمَامَةٌ, (K,)
and تمُّ and تَمٌّ and تُمٌّ, (M, K,) of which last
three forms the first is said to be the most chaste,
(TA,) [The thing was, or became, complete, entire,
whole, or full; i. e., without, or free from, deficiency: and sometimes, the thing was, or became,
consummate, or perfect; which latter signification
is more properly expressed by كَمَلَ:] accord. to
the author of the K, as is shown in art. كمل, and
accord. to some others, تَمَامٌ and كَمَالٌ are syn.;
but several authors make a distinction between
them: the former is said to signify a thing's being,
or becoming, without, or free from, deficiency;
and the latter, to signify تمام and something
more, as, for instance, goodliness, and excellence,
essential or accidental; though each is sometimes
used in the sense of the other: or, as some say,
the former necessarily implies previous deficiency;
but the latter does not: (MF, TA:) or, accord.
to El-Harállee, the latter signifies the attaining to
the utmost point, or degree, in every respect: or,
as Ibn-El-Kemál says, when one says of a thing
كَمَلَ, he means that what was desired of it
became realized. (TA.) [See also تَمَامٌ, below.]
You say, تَمَّ خَلْقُهُ [His make, or formation, was,
or became, complete, or perfect; he (a child or
the like, and a man,) was, or became, fully formed
or developed, or complete in his members; and he
(a man) was, or became, full-grown]: (TA:)
[whence, probably,] تَمَّ الشَّىْءُ [as meaning] The
thing became strong and hard. (Msb.) And
تَمَّ القَمَرُ, (T, S, Msb,) or ↓ اتمّ, (M, K,) The
moon became full, so that it shone brightly. (M,
K) And, of her who is pregnant, تَمَّتْ أَيَّامُ حَمْلِهَا
[The days of her gestation became complete]. (S.)
―
2-b2- تَمَّ إِلَى كَذَا He reached, attained, arrived at,
or came to, such a thing; as, for instance, eminence or nobility, or the means of acquiring
eminence or nobility. (TA.) ―
2-b3- تَمَّ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ كَذَا,
and اتمّ ↓ إِلَيْهِ, He repaired, or betook himself, to,
or towards, such a place; he went to it. (Har
p. 508.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says,
فَبَاتَ بِجَمْعٍ ثُمَّ تَمَّ إِلَى مِنًى
[which may be rendered And he passed the night
in Jema (a name of El-Muzdelifeh): then he
repaired, or went, to Minè; there completing the
ceremonies of the pilgrimage; wherefore ISd
says,] I think that, by تمّ, [or rather تمّ الى منى,]
he means he completed his pilgrimage. (M.) ―
2-b4-
تَمَّ بِهِ, and تَمَّ عَلَيْهِ: see their syn. اتمّهُ (4). ―
2-b5-
[Hence,] تَمَّ عَلَيْهِ He performed it, or executed
it; he accomplished it; namely, an affair; a fast;
a purpose, or an intention. (Mgh.) ―
2-b6- And He
persevered in it; (Mgh, TA;) as also تَمَمَ عَلَيْهِ,
without teshdeed, as in the phrase إِنْ تَمَمَتْ عَلَى
مَا أُرِيدُ [If she persevere in what I desire], occurring in a trad.; but IAth says that the verb here
means ↓ تَمَّمَتْ. (TA.) You say, تَمَّ عَلَى الإبَآءِ He
persevered in refusal, or dislike, or disapproval.
(Mgh.) ＝
1-A2- تُمَّ It was broken. (T.) ―
2-b2- And i. q.
بلغ [app. بُلِغَ, i. e. He was jaded, harassed, distressed, fatigued, or wearied]. (T.)
