[Dung such as is called] سِرْجِين (M) or سِرْقِين (K, TA) with which land is manured; (TA;) [as also دَمَالٌ and دَبَالٌ.]

And Ashes. (M, K.)

-A2- Also, (As, Sh, T, S, M, IAth, K,) or ↓ دُمَانٌ, with damm, like other words significant of diseases and the like, as in the “ Ghareeb ” of El-Khattábee, or, according to the “ Towsheeh, ” both of these, and ↓ دِمَانٌ, (TA,) and ↓ دَمْنٌ, (M, K,) and ↓ أَدَمَانٌ, (Ibn-Abi-z-Zinád, T, IKtt, K,) Rottenness and blackness of a palm-tree: (M, K:) or the state of a palm-tree إِذَا أَنْسَغَتْ, as As says, (T, S, [and the like is said in the M, أَنْ تُنْسِغَ النَّخْلَةُ,]) but Sh says, correctly, إِذَا انْشَقَّتْ [when it splits], (T,) in consequence of rottenness and blackness: (T, S, M:) or, according to IAth, corruptness and rottenness of fruits (الثمر [perhaps a mistranscription for التَّمْر i. e. dates]) before their coming to maturity; as also دَمَالٌ: (TA:) or دَمَانٌ and دَمَالٌ both signify an unsoundness, or infection, in the spadix of the palm-tree, (Mgh and TA in article دمل,) so that it becomes black, (TA ib.,) before it attains to maturity, (Mgh and TA ib.,) or before it is fecundated. (TA ib.)

-A3- Also دَمَانٌ, (M, K,) or in this sense it is correctly ↓ دَمَّانٌ, (TA,) One who manures land with [the dung called] سِرْقِين. (M, K, * TA.)

-A4- [Golius adds the signification of “ Tormentum, supplicium, ” as from the KL, in my copy of which the only explanation given is عفونتى كه به درخت خرما رسد “ a rottenness that infects a palm-tree: ” he seems to have found in his copy of that work عقوبتى, either alone, or followed by some words imperfectly written.]
