أَتْمٌ

, (M, K,) in, or in relation to, a سِقَاء [or skin for water or milk], (TA,) signifies The having two punctures of a seam (خُزْرَتَانِ) rent so as to become one. (M, K.) You say, أَتَمَتِ القِرْبَةٌ, aorist اَتِمَ , verbal noun أَتْمٌ, The water-skin had its two punctures (خزرتاها [or rather two of its punctures, agreeably with the explanation of the verbal noun in the M and K, as given above,]) rent so that they became one.

[And hence,] The meeting together of the مَسْلَكَانِ [or vagina and rectum]: whence أَتُومٌ [q. v.] as an epithet applied to a woman. (Ham p. 373.)

[It seems to be indicated in the T, that one says, أَتِمَ النِسَاءُ, aorist اَتَمَ , and أَتَمَ, aorist اَتِمَ ; as meaning, or perhaps the former only, The women assembled, or came together: for I there find, immediately after مَأْتَمٌ as signifying “a place in which women assemble,” “one says, أَتِمَ, aorist اَتَمَ , and أَتَمَ, aorist اَتِمَ :” but it is then added that, according to Khálid Ibn-Yezeed, مأتم is from أَتِمَ, aorist اَتَمَ .]
