أَزْمَلٌ
1.
A sound: (As, S:) or any mixed, or confused, sound: or a sound proceeding from the prepuce of a horse or similar beast: (K:) it has no verb. (TA.) A poet says,
[The gums of the horses water in the adjacent tracts thereof, and thou hearest, beneath the dust, a sound attributable to them]: he means أَزْمَلَا, but suppresses the ء, as is done in وَيْلُمِّهِ [for وَيْلٌ لِأُمِّهِ]. (S.) أَزَامِيلُ القِسِىّ means The sounds of the bows: اَزاميل being plural of أَزْمَلٌ, with ى to give fulness to the sound of the vowel preceding it. (TA.) And أَزْمَلَةٌ signifies The twanging sound of a bow. (K, TA.)تَضِبُّ لِثَاتُ الخَيْلِ فِى حَجَرَاتِهَاوَتَسْمَعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ العَجَاجِ لَهَا ازْمَلَا

He went forth with his family and his camels and his sheep or goats, not leaving behind him aught of his property. (AZ, TA.)
