1 دَمِىَ دم دمى دمي دمية , (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K,) [held by some to be originally دَمِوَ,] like رَضِىَ, (S, K,) which is from الرِّضْوَانُ, being thus [with ى] because of the kesreh, (S,) [but most hold the last radical to be ى,] and دَمَى, (TA as from the Msb, [but not in my copy of the latter work,]) aor. يَدْمَى, inf. n. دَمًا or دَمًى (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (S, MA, [but in the Msb it seems to be indicated that it is دَمَىٌ,]) said of a thing, (S,) or of a wound, (Msb,) and دَمِيَتْ said of the arm or hand, (T,) It bled; blood issued from it: (Msb:) [and] it was, or became, bloody; i. e., smeared, or defiled, with blood. (MA.) 2 دَمَّيْتُهُ دمى دمي دمية دميته دميتة , (S, M, K,) inf. n. تَدْمِيَةٌ, (S,) i. q. ↓ أَدْمَيْتُهُ , (S, M, K,) i. e. [I made him to bleed;] I struck him, or smote him, so that blood issued from him: (S:) [and I made him bloody; for] دَمَّاهُ signifies [also] he smeared him, or defiled him, or made him to be smeared or defiled, with blood. (MA.) Hence the prov., وُلْدُكِ مَنْ دَمَّى عَقَبَيْكِ, (M, TA,) Thy son is he who made thy two heels to be smeared with blood; (TA in art. ولد;) i. e., whom thou thyself broughtest forth; (K and TA in that art.;) he is thy son really; not he whom thou hast taken from another, and adopted. (TA in that art.) ― -b2- دمّى المَاشِيَةَ (assumed tropical:) It (pasture, or herbage,) fattened the cattle so as to make them like what are termed دُمًى [pl. of دُمْيَةٌ]. (M.) ― -b3- دَمَّيْتُ لَهُ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) I made a way easy to him. (K, TA.) ― -b4- (assumed tropical:) I made, or brought, [a thing] near to him. (K.) You say, دَمَّى لَهُ فِى كَذَا وَ كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He made, or brought, near to him [some object of desire in such and such cases]. (Th, M.) ― -b5- (assumed tropical:) I appeared to him. (K.) One says, خُذْ مَا دَمَّى لَكَ (assumed tropical:) Take thou what has oppeared to thee. (Th, M.) 4 أَ1ْ2َ3َ see 2. 10 استدمى استدمى استدمي He (a man) stooped his head, blood dropping from it; (M;) as also اِسْتَدَامَ, formed by transposition from استدمى.

(M in that art.) ― -b2- استدمى مَوَدَّتَهُ He looked, or watched, or waited, for his love, or affection: [formed by transposition] from اِسْتَدَامَ. (M in art. دوم.) دَمٌ دم [Blood;] one of the [four] أَخْلَاط [or humours], (M,) well known: (T, M, K:) accord. to some, (Msb,) it is originally دَمَوٌ: (S, Msb:) or it is originally دَمًى; (Zj, Mbr, S, M, Msb, K;) thus in the correct copies of the K; (TA; [in some copies دَمْىٌ, and in the CK دَمَىٌ;]) though deviating from other words of the same form in respect of its pl. [which see below]; (Mbr, S;) as is shown by its dual, (Zj, M,) which is دَمَيَانِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) whereby [also] the letter gone from it is shown to be ى; (Mbr, S;) but it has also for its dual دَمَانِ; (T, M, Msb, K;) and some of the Arabs say دَمَوَانِ; (S, M;) in which last, however, [accord. to ISd,] the و is substituted for ى, though generally و is changed into ى: (M:) and this original form is used by a poet, [namely, Hoseyn Ibn-El-Homám, accord. to one of my copies of the S,] in his saying, “ فَلَسْنَا عَلَى الأَعْقَابِ تَدْمَى كُلُومُنَا
↓ وَلٰكِنْ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا يَقْطُرُ الدَّمَى
” [And we have not our wounds bleeding upon the heels; but upon our feet the blood drops]: (S:) or it is originally دَمْىٌ; (Sb, T, S, M, Msb;) as is shown by its pls., (Sb, S,) which are دِمَآءُ (Sb, T, S, M, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (Sb, S, M, K,) also pronounced دِمِىٌّ; (TA;) like as ظَبْىٌ and دَلْوٌ have for their pls. ظِبَآءُ and ظُبِىٌّ and دِلَآءٌ and دُلِىٌّ; for if it were like قَفًا and عَصًا, it would not have such pls. (Sb, S.) دَمٌّ is ignored by Ks; but is used by poetic license; (M;) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ. (K in art. دم.) ↓ دَمَةٌ has a more special signification than دَمٌ, the two words being like بَيَاضَةٌ and بَيَاضٌ; (S;) [i. e.] it signifies A portion of blood: (T, M, K:) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ, (M, K,) accord. to IJ. (M.) The dim. of دَمٌ is ↓ دُمَىٌّ . (S.) [Hence,] رَجُلٌ ذُو دَمٍ A man seeking to obtain, or prosecuting for, [the revenge of] blood. (TA.) دَمُ فُلَانٍ فِى ثَوْبِ فُلَانٍ is a saying of the Arabs, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is the slayer of such a one. (Ham p. 632.) الدَّمُ الدَّمُ وَالهَدْمُ الهَدْمُ, or وَالهَدَمَ الهَدَمَ, is a saying of the Arabs, meaning If thy blood be sought, my blood shall be sought; and if thy blood go for nought, my blood shall go for nought: or, accord. to the latter reading, as is said in the Nh, and where thou shalt be buried, I will be buried: or thine abode shall be mine abode.

(S, Mgh, K.) Accord. to MF, it is also pronounced ↓ دِمْيَةٌ . (TA.) One says, أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الدُّمْيَةِ, meaning More beautiful than the image of ivory. (Har p. 611.)
