حَنْتَمٌ
1.
A green
جَرَّة [or jar], (S, K,) to which some add, including to redness: (TA:) or winejars, (A 'Obeyd, Nh,) glazed, or varnished, green, (Nh,) which used to be carried to El-Medeeneh, with wine in them: (A 'Obeyd, Nh:) the use of which, for preparing نَبِيذ therein, is forbidden in a tradition, because it quickly became potent in them, by reason of the glazing, or varnish; or, as some say, because they used to be made of clay kneaded with blood and hair; but the former is the right reason: afterwards applied to any jars, or pottery: (Nh:) thus some explain it as a singular; (MF;) and the plural is حَنَاتِمُ: (Az, TA:) others, as a plural [or coll. gen. n.], of which the singular [or n. un.] is with ة: (MF:) some say that the ن is augmentative: so says the author of the Msb: others, that it is radical. (TA.) [See article حتم.]
