عَلَّامٌ
1.
and
عُلَّامٌ, (K, TA,) both mentioned by ISd, the latter [which is less used] from Lh, (TA,) and
عَلَّامَةٌ (S, K) and
تِعْلِمَةٌ and
تِعْلَامَةٌ, (K,) Very knowing or scientific or learned: (S, K:) the ة in
عَلَّامَةٌ is added to denote intensiveness; (S;) or [rather] to denote that the person to whom it is applied has attained the utmost degree of the quality signified thereby; [so that it means knowing &c. in the utmost degree; or it may be rendered very very, or singularly, knowing or scientific or learned;] and this epithet is applied also to a woman: (IJ, TA:) [
تِعْلَامَةٌ, likewise, is doubly intensive; and so, apparently, is
تِعْلِمَةٌ:] the plural of عَلَّامٌ is عَلَّامُونَ; and that of
عُلَّامٌ is عُلَّامُونَ. (TA.) See also, for the first, عَلِيمٌ.

Also the same epithets, (K,) or عَلَّامٌ and
عَلَّامَةٌ, (TA,) i. q.
نَسَّابَةٌ; (K, TA;) [or rather عَلَّامٌ signifies نَسَّابٌ, i. e. very skilful in genealogies, or a great genealogist; and
عَلَّامَةٌ signifies نَسَّابَةٌ, i. e. possessing the utmost knowledge in genealogies, or a most skilful genealogist;] from العِلْمُ. (TA.)
