رَمَىٰ

rimFY * The sound of a stone (T, K) thrown at a boy (so accord. to a copy of the T) or thrown by a boy; (K;) on the authority of IAar. (T.) -A2- rimFA [thus written in the M]: see ramaA='N .

ramiY~N * , applied to the male of the goat-kind, or mountain-goat, or of the gazelle, [and any male animal of the chase,] and likewise, without p , to the female, i. q. ↓ maromiY~N [i. e. Thrown at, or cast at, or shot at, or shot ]: but when they do not distinguish a male from a female, the word applied to the male and to the female is [↓ ramiy~apN ,] with p [added liln~aqoli , i. e. to transfer it from the category of epithets to that of substantives]: or, accord. to Lh, ramiY~N and ↓ ramiy~apN are both applied, as epithets, to the female; but the former is the more approved: the pl. of the former [and of the latter also] is ramaAyaA . (M, TA.) -A2- Also, (M,) accord. to As, i. q. saqiY~N , i. e., (T, S,) A cloud of which the rain-drops are large, and vehement in their fall, (T, S, M, K, *) of the clouds of the hot season and of the autumn: (S:) or, (M, K,) accord. to Lth, (T,) small portions of clouds, (T, M, K,) of the [ apparent ] size of the hand, or somewhat larger; but the approved explanation is that given by As: (T:) and ↓ ramoYN is a dial. var. thereof: (TA:) the pl. is A^aromiyapN , (T, S, M, K,) like as that of saqiY~N is A^asoqiyapN , (S,) and A^aromA='N , (Lth, T, M, K,) [each, properly, a pl. of pauc.,] and ramaAyaA . (M, K.)
