ظَمًى
is the inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]: and [it is said that it] signifies The withering, or drying up, of the lip, from thirst: (M:) so says Lth: but it signifies paucity of the flesh and blood of the lip; not the withering, or drying-up, in consequence of thirst: it is a quality that is commended: (T:) or a tawny, or brownish, or dusky, colour, and a withering, or drying-up, in the lip.

[In the T is added ويعتريه الحُسْنُ: and in the M, وهو يعترى الحُبْسَ, in which الحُبْسَ seems to be evidently a mistranscription for الحُبْشَ: I therefore think it most probable that in the T, as well as in the M, the right reading is وَهُوَ
يَعْتَرِى الحُبْشَ, meaning and it is incidental to the Abyssinians.] And Tawniness of a spearshaft. (T.)
