رُزَمٌ

Firm, or steadfast, standing upon the ground: (S, K:) and مُرْزِمٌ and رَازِمٌ signify [the same; or] firm, or steadfast, upon the ground: and the plural of the last is رُزَّامٌ, occurring in a verse cited voce رِزَامٌ, q. v. (TA.)
2.
Also The lion; and so مُرْزِمٌ; (K, TA;) because he lies upon his breast on his prey, not quitting it: (TA:) or رُزَمٌ (Ham p. 362) and رَزَامٌ (TA, and Ham ibid., [but in the latter without any syll. signs,]) like سَحَابٌ, and رَزَامَةٌ like سَحَابَةٌ, [which is of a form denoting intensiveness of signification,] (TA,) are epithets applied to a lion, meaning that lies upon his breast on his prey, (Ham, TA,) and growls. (Ham.) Accord. to J, it is applied in a verse of Sáïdeh Ibn-Ju-eiyeh to an elephant: but according to IB, and the Expos. of Skr, it is there applied to a lion, as meaning That has remained firm, or steadfast, in his place. (TA.)
