زَامٌّ

[act. particle n. of زَمَّ]. زَأَمَّهَا [meaning Attaching a زِمَام to her] occurs used by poetic license for زَامَّهَا, because of the concurrence of two quiescent letters; like اِسْوَأَدَّتْ for اِسْوَادَّتْ. (S.)

(assumed tropical:) Magnifying, or exalting, himself; or elevating his nose, from pride: (S, TA:) [and in like manner ↓ زَمٌّ:] one says, زَأَيْتُهُ زَمًّا (assumed tropical:) I saw him magnifying, or exalting, himself, &c., not speaking: (TA:) plural of the former زُمَّمٌ. (S, TA.)

See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.

Also, according to El-Harbee, applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) Fearing, or afraid; synonym فَزِعٌ. (TA.)
