دَامَ , aor.
يَدُومُ and
يَدَامُ; (S, M, Msb, K;)
the see. pers. of the pret. when the aor. is
يَدُومُ
being
دُمْتَ; and when the aor. is
يَدَام,
دِمْتَ;
(M;) and accord. to Kr, (M,) you say also
دِمْتَ, aor.
تَدُومُ, which is extr., (M, K,) and not
of valid authority, held by the lexicologists [in
general] to be anomalous like
مِتَّ having for its
aor.
تَمُوتُ, and
فَضِلَ of which the aor. is
يَفْضُلُ,
and
حَضِرَ of which the aor. is
يَحْضُرُ, and said by
Aboo-Bekr to be a compound of the pret. of which
the aor. is
تَدَامُ with the aor. of which the pret. is
دُمْتَ; (M;) inf. n.
دَوْمٌ and
دَوَامٌ [which is the
most common form] and
دَيْمُومَةٌ [originally
دَيْوَمُومَةٌ, like
قَيْدُودَةٌ originally
قَيْوَدُودَةٌ, &c.];
(S, M, Msb, K;)
i. q. ثَبَتَ [as meaning
It (a
thing, S, M, Msb)
continued, lasted, endured, or
remained]: (Msb, TK:) and
it became extended,
or
prolonged; syn.
اِمْتَدَّ: (TK:) and [
it continued,
lasted, endured, or
remained, long;]
its time was,
or
became, long: (TA:) and
i. q. بَقِىَ [as syn.
with
ثَبَتَ (explained above) and as meaning
it
continued, lasted, or
existed, incessantly, always,
endlessly, or
for ever; it was, or
became, permanent, perpetual, or
everlasting]: (Msb in art.
بقى:) and ↓
استدام signifies the same as
دام [in
all of these senses]: (TA:) [but Mtr says,]
استدام السَّفَرُ [
The journey continued, or
continued
long,] is not of established authority. (Mgh.)
[Hence,
دَامَ مُلْكُهُ May his dominion be of long
continuance.] And
دام عَلَى الأَمْرِ; (MA;) and
داوم ↓
عَلَيْهِ, [and ↓
داومهُ, as is shown by a usage
of the act. part. n. in art.
دمن in the S, &c.,]
(S, * MA,) inf. n.
مُدَاوَمَةٌ; (S;)
He kept continually, or
constantly, to the thing, or
affair.
(S, MA.)
مَا دَامَ means
Continuance; because
ما
is a conjunct noun to
دام; and it is not used
otherwise than adverbially, like as inf. ns. are
used adverbially: you say,
لَا أَجْلِسُ مَا دُمْتَ قَائِمًا,
i. e.,
دَوَامَ قِيَامِكَ [
I will not sit during the continuance of thy standing]; (S, TA;) [or
as long
as thou standest; or
while thou standest; for]
ما denotes
time; and
قُمْ مَا دَامَ زَيْدٌ قَائِمًا means
مُدَّةَ قِيَامِ زَيْدٍ [i. e.
Stand thou during the period of
Zeyd's standing]. (Ibn-Keysán, TA.) [And
عَلَىالدَّوَامِ means
Continually, or
constantly;
like
دَائِمًا.] ―
2-b2- Said of rain, it means
It fell, or
descended, consecutively, continuously, or
constantly. (Msb.) Some say, (M,)
دَامَتِ السَّمَآءُ,
aor.
تَدِيمٌ, inf. n.
دَيْمٌ, (M, K,) which, if correct,
should be included in art.
ديم, (M,) meaning
The
sky rained continually; as also ↓
دَوَّمَت and
دَيَّمَت, (M, K,) in which last the
و is changed into
ى as it is in
دِيمَةٌ, (M,) and ↓
ادامت: (K:) or
rained such rain as is termed دِيمَة; (M in art.
ديم;) and so ↓
دَيَّمَت, inf. n.
تَدْيِيمٌ; (S in art.
ديم;) and ↓
ادامت. (Z, TA.) [See also
دَوْمٌ,
below.] IAar cites the following verse, (M, TA,)
by Jahm Ibn-Shibl, (TA in this art.,) or Ibn-Sebel, (TA in art.
سبل, in which, also, the verse
is cited,) in praise of a horse, as is said in “ the
Book of Plants ” of Ed-Deenäwaree, and in
“ the Book of Horses ” of Ibn-El-Kelbee, not, as
J asserts it to be, in praise of a munificent
man, (TA,)
هُوَ الجَوَادُ بْنُ الجَوَادِ بْنِ سَبَلْ
إِنْ دَيَّمُوا ↓ جَادَ وَ إِنْ جَادُوا وَبَلْ
[
He is the fleet, the son of the fleet, the son of
Sebel (a famous mare):
if they are unremitting
in their running, (the masc. pl. being here used,
though relating to horses, in like manner as it is
used in the Kur xli. 20,)
he is fleet; and if they
are fleet, he is vehement in his running]: or, as
some relate it,
إِنْ دَوَّمُوا. (M, TA. [It should be
observed that the three verbs in this verse, and
the word
سبل, also relate to rain.]) ―
2-b3- (tropical:)
It (a
thing, T)
was, or
became, still, or
motionless; said
of water (T, S, * Msb, K, * TA) left in a pool by a
torrent, and of the boiling of a cooking-pot;
(Msb;;) and said, in this sense, of the sea: (M:)
and
it stopped, or
stood still. (T, TA.) ―
2-b4- (assumed tropical:)
He
was, or
became, tired, or
fatigued: (T, TA:)
[app. because he who is so stops to rest.] ―
2-b5- (assumed tropical:)
It
(a thing)
went round, revolved, or
circled: (T,
TA:) [app. because that which does so keeps
near to one place.]
دَوَمَانٌ [an inf. n. of
دَامَ like
as
حَوَمَانٌ is of
حَامَ,] signifies (tropical:) The
circling of a
bird (K, TA)
around water. (TA. [But in my
MS. copy of the K, and in the CK, in the place
of
الدَّوَمَانُ I find ↓
الدَّوَمَآءُ. See also 2.]) [Hence,]
دِيمَ بِهِ (tropical:)
He was taken, or
affected, with a vertigo,
or
giddiness in the head; as also
أُدِيمَ ↓
بِهِ, (M,
TA,) and ↓

by
بِهِ]. (Z, TA.) ―
2-b6-
دَامَتِ الدَّلْوِ, (K,) inf. n.
دَوْمٌ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:)
The bucket became full: (K:) in
this meaning, regard is had to the stagnant water
[in the bucket]. (TA.)
