أَمِهَ

, aorist اَمَهَ , verbal noun أَمَهٌ, He forgot. (S, K.) Hence the reading of I'Ab, [in the Qur'an, 12:45,] وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أَمَهٍ [And he remembered, or became reminded, after forgetting]. (S.) AHeyth is said to have read بَعْدَ أَمْهٍ; and according to AO, أَمْهٌ signifies نِسْيَانٌ [like أَمَهٌ]; but this is not correct. (Az, TA.)

He confessed, or acknowledged: (S, K:) occurring in this sense in a tradition of Ez-Zuhree; but not well known. (S.) The reading of I'Ab, mentioned above, بَعْدَ أَمَهٍ, is explained by A'Obeyd as meaning after confessing, or acknowledging. (TA.)
