رُمَامٌ

It is applied as an epithet to ثُمَام, in a saying of 'Omar, explained in article ثم: according to some, it means that whereof the heads are grown, so that they are eaten (تُرَمُّ, i. e. تُوءْكَلُ): it is also applied to a herb, or leguminous plant, such that the cattle pluck it with their mouths, obtaining but little thereof: and to herbage that had dried up when becoming green. (T.)
