تَسْهِيمٌ

The making a garment to be marked with stripes or lines [like سِهَام, i. e. arrows: see the pass. particle n. below]. (KL. [And the same meaning is indicated in the TA.]) Dhu-r-Rummeh says, describing a dwelling, [or rather the traces thereof,]

كَأَنَّهَا بَعْدَ أَحْوَلٍ مَضَيْنَ لَهَا

بِالأَشْيَمَيْنِ يَمَانٍ فِيهِ تَسْهِيمُ

[As though it were, after years had passed with respect to it, in El-Ashyamán, a garment of El-Yemen in which was a marking with stripes or lines: the epithet يَمَانٍ being often applied to a garment of this kind, and ثَوْبٌ being here understood]: (TA:) الأَشْيَمَانِ, or, as some call them, الأَشْأَمَانِ, are two places, or two mountains, mentioned by Dhu-r-Rummeh in several places in his poetry. (TA in article شيم.)
