خَرَمَةٌ

The place of perforation of the ear: (S:) or the place of slitting, of the nose, in the partition between the nostrils [and in either of the alœ, as appears from what here follows]. (K.) It is said in a tradition, فِى الخَرَمَاتِ الثَّلَاثِ مِنَ الأَنْف الدِّيَةُ, by الخرمات being apparently meant ↓ المَخْرُومَات, i. e. [In the case of the mutilation of] the two alœ and the partition between the nostrils [the blood-wit, or fine for homicide, shall be paid]. (TA.)
