زَمَم

is thought by ISd to be used only as an adv. n.: (TA:) [but see what follows.] وَجْهِى زَمَمَ بَيْتِهِ means My face is towards his house. (K.) An Arab of the desert said, لَا وَالَّذِى وَجْهِى زَمَمَ بَيْتِهِ مَا كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا, meaning [No, by Him] towards whose house [is my face, it was not thus and thus, or such and such things did not happen]. (S.)

One says also, دَارِى مِنْ دَارِهِ زَمَمٌ, (S,) or دَارِى زَمَمَ دَارِهِ, (K, TA, in the CK زَمَمُ,) (tropical:) My house is near to his house. (S, K, TA.)

And أَمْرُهُمْ زَمَمٌ (assumed tropical:) Their affair, or case, is conformable to the just mean; like أَمَمٌ: (S, K:) or easy, not exceeding the due measure, bound, or limit. (Lh, TA.)
