خَتَمٌ

: see خَاتَمٌ.

Also A sealed piece of clay [or wax]: like نَفَضٌ in the sense of مَنْفُوضٌ, and قَبَضٌ in the sense of مَقْبُوضٌ: so in the saying of El-Aashà,

وَ أَبْرَزَهَا وَ عَلَيْهَا خَتَمْ

وَ صَحْبَاءَ طَافَ يَهُودِيُّهَا

[And a jar of reddish-coloured wine, the Jew -vender whereof came, and brought it out, with a sealed piece of clay upon it]. (S.) [See also خِتَامٌ.]
