عَيْمَانُ

Desiring, or desiring eagerly, or longing for, milk: feminine عَيْمَى: (S, K:) the former applied to a man; and the latter, to a woman: (S:) plural عِيَامٌ and عَيَامَى, like عِطَاشٌ and عَطَاشَى. (TA.) And [hence] one says رَجُلٌ عَيْمَانُ أَيْمَانُ meaning A man whose camels have gone [so that he is in want of milk] and whose wife has died: (S, K:) and AZ mentions, on the authority of Et-Tufeyl Ibn-Yezeed, اِمْرَأَةٌ عَيْمَى أَيْمَى a woman who has no camels, or the like, and whose husband has died. (TA.)

And Thirsty: (K:) [or vehemently thirsty. (See عَيْمَةٌ.)]
