سُمَيْرِيَّةٌ

A certain kind of ships. (S.) [سُمَيْرِىٌّ signifies the same, (Golius on the authority of Meyd.,) applied to A single ship of that kind.]

IAar mentions the saying, أَعْطَيْتُهُ سُمَيْرِيَّةً مِنْ دَرَاهِمَ كَأَنَّ الدُّخَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا, without explaining it: [ISd says,] I think he meant, [I gave him] دَرَاهِم سُمْر, i. e. dusky dirhems, as though smoke were issuing from them by reason of their duskiness: or dirhems of which the whiteness was fresh. (M.)
