(T, TA.) -A3- Also, inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) He made known, or notified, [or he set or assigned it,] its price; i. e., the price of a commodity; like قَوَّمَهُ: (TA:) or he assigned it a price by conjecture: (Msb:) and ↓ اثمنهُ he named a price for it. (TA.)4 اثمن القَوْمُ اثمن القوم The party of men became eight: (S, K:) and also the party of men became eighty. (M and L in art. ثلث.) ― -b2- أَثْمَنَتْ She brought forth her eighth offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) ― -b3- اثمن said of a man, He was, or became, one whose camels came to water ↓ ثِمْنًا , (S, K,) i. e., on the eighth night [after the next preceding watering].

ثَمَنٌ
ثمن
ثمنن The price of a thing; i. e. the
thing that the seller receives in return for the thing
sold, whether money or a commodity; (Er-Rághib,
TA;) the
ثَمَن of a thing sold: (S:) and also (Er-Rághib, TA)
a compensation, or substitute, (Mgh, Msb,
Er-Rághib, TA,) whatever it be, for a thing, (Er-Rághib,
TA,) i. e., for a thing that is sold; but in the
sense commonly known, such as it is incumbent upon
one to pay, of pieces of silver, and of gold [or
other money]; not commodities and the like: (Mgh:)
or the value, or worth, of a thing; (K;)
its
قِيمَة: (T:) or the estimated value, or
worth, of a thing, by mutual consent, even though
it be really excessive or deficient; whereas the
قِيمَة is its real value or worth, its equivalent:
(MF:) pl.
أَثْمَانٌ (T, Mgh, Msb, K) and
أَثْمُنٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter used only as a pl.
of pauc., (Msb,) and [so]
أَثْمِنَةٌ. (CK: not in the TA.) The saying in the
Kur [ii. 38 and v. 48],
وَلَا
تَشْتَرُوا
بِآيَاتِى
ثَمَنًا
قَلِيلًا is metaphorical, meaning (tropical:) And
take ye not in exchange for my signs a small substitute:
[i. e. purchase not in exchange for belief in my word
the happiness, or enjoyments, of the present life.] (Mgh.)
With respect to this saying, Fr remarks, when
ثَمَنًا occurs in the Kur, with
بِ prefixed to the name of the thing sold or bought,
in most cases it relates to two things whereof neither
is a
ثمن in the sense commonly known, i. e., such as
pieces of gold and of silver: and such is the case when
you say,
اِشْتَرَيْتُ
ثَوْبًا
بِكِسَآءٍ [I purchased a garment with a
كساء, q. v.]: either of these may be termed a
ثمن for the other: but in speaking of pieces of
silver and of gold, you prefix the
ب to the
ثمن [only]; as is done in [the chapter of] Yoosuf, [i.
e. ch. xii., v. 20, where it is said,]
وَشَرَوْهُ
بِثَمَنٍ
بَخْسٍ
دَرَاهِمَ
مَعْدُودَةٍ [And they sold him for a deficient,
or an insufficient, price: for pieces of silver
not many, so as to require their being weighed, but few,
and therefore counted]: for pieces of silver are
always a
ثمن: and when you purchase pieces of silver and of
gold with the like, you prefix the
ب to whichever of the two you will, because each of
them in this case is a purchase and a price. (T.)
ثُمُنٌ
ثمن
ثمنن (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓
ثُمْنٌ (M, Msb, K) An eighth; an eighth part
or portion; as also ↓
ثَمِينٌ ; (S, M, * Mgh, Msb, K;) agreeably with
a general rule applying to fractions, accord. to some;
(M, K;) but
ثَلِيثٌ was ignored by AZ (T and S in art.
ثلث) and by others, (TA,) and so was
خَمِيسٌ: (S in art.
ثلث:) pl.
أَثْمَانٌ. (M, K.)
ثَمَانٍ
ثمان
ثماني
ثمين and
ثَمَانٌ: see
ثَمَانِيَةٌ.
ثَمِينٌ
ثمين : see
ثُمُنٌ. -A2- Also High-priced; or of high
value; (S, TA;) and ↓
مُثْمِنٌ [signifies the same; or] having a
price, or value: (TA:) but accord. to the
Durrat el-Ghowwás, the assertion that the former has the
meaning here assigned to it is a mistake; for it means
[only] the same as
ثُمُنٌ; and a thing that has a price, or value, is
termed
مثمن [app.
مُثْمِنٌ, as above; but perhaps
مُثْمَنٌ, q. v.]. (Har p. 42.)
ثَمَانِيَةٌ
ثماني
ثمانيه
ثمانية a noun of number, well known; [meaning
Eight;] as also ↓
ثَمَانٍ , (M, TA,) which is like
يَمَانٍ, (M, K,) in form: (M:) the former is the
masc. form: the latter, the fem.: (Msb:) this is not a
rel. n. [though likened above to
يَمَانٍ]: (M, K:) or it is originally a rel. n. from
الثُّمُنُ, because it is the part, or portion, that
makes seven to be eight, so that it is its eighth: they
make the first letter to be pronounced with fet-h,
because they make changes [in some other cases] in the
rel. n., (S, K,) as when they say
سُهْلِىٌّ and
دُهْرِىٌّ, [which are rel. ns. of
سَهْلٌ and
دَهْرٌ,] (S,) and they suppress one of the two
ى which are characteristic of the rel. n., and
compensate it by the insertion of
ا, as they do in the rel. n. of
اليَمَنُ [when they say
يَمَانٍ, originally
يَمَانِىٌ, for
يَمَنِىٌّ]: (S, K: [and the like is said in the Mgh:])
El-Fárisee says that the
ا of
ثَمَانٍ is the characteristic of the rel. n.,
because this word is not a broken pl. like
صَحَارٍ; and IF assents to this, and says that were
it not so, the
ة would be inseparable, as it is in
عَبَاقِيَةٌ &c. (M.) You say
ثَمَانِيَةُ
رِجَالٍ [Eight men], (T, S, Mgh,) and
ثَمَانِيَةُ
أَيَّامٍ [eight days]. (Msb.) And when
ثمان is prefixed to another noun, its
ى is retained, like the
ى in
القَاضِى: (S, Msb, K:) and it is decl. in the same
manner as words of the class to which this last belongs:
(Msb:) you say
ثَمَانِى
نِسْوَةٍ [Eight women], (T, S, Mgh, Msb, K,)
and
ثَمَانِى
مِائَةٍ [eight hundred], (S, Msb, K,) [in the
nom. and gen. cases;] and
رَأَيْتُ
ثَمَانِىَ
نِسْوَةٍ [I saw eight women], pronouncing the
fet-hah [at the end, in this case]. (Msb.) When it is
with tenween, the
ى is dropped in the nom. and gen. cases, but it is
retained in the accus. case: (S, K:) [i. e.,] when the
fem. form is not prefixed to another noun, you say,
عِنْدِى
مِنَ
النِّسَآءِ
ثَمَانٍ [I have with me, of women, eight],
and
مَرَرْتُ
مِنْهُنَّ
بِثَمَانٍ [I passed by, of them, eight], and
رَأَيْتُ
ثَمَانِيًا [I saw eight]. (Msb.) It sometimes
occurs, in poetry, indecl.: (S, M:) this is because it
is fancied to be a pl.; (S;) or because it is likened,
as to the letter, but not as to the meaning, to
جَوَارِىَ. (M.) The people of El-Hijáz pronounce the
masc. and the fem. with nasb in every case, in phrases
like
أَتَوْنِى
ثَلَاثَتَهُمْ and
أَتَيْنَنِى
ثَلَاثَهُنَّ; and so on to ten [inclusive]. (S voce
ثَلَاثَةٌ, q. v.) Th mentions ↓
ثَمَانٌ ; (TA;) and some instances of its
occurrence are cited; but As disallows it. (T, Mgh, TA.)
كِسَآءٌ
ذُو
ثَمَانٍ means A [garment of the kind
called]
كساء made of eight fleeces. (T.)
تُقْبِلُ
بِأَرْبَعٍ
وَتُدْبِرُ
بِثَمَانٍ [She advances with four and goes back
with eight] is a saying of one of the
مُخَنَّثُون of El-Medeeneh; meaning, with four
creases (عُكَن)
of the belly, and with eight extremities thereof; each
crease having two extremities, towards the two sides of
the woman spoken of. (Mgh in art.
هيت.) The saying
الثَّوْبُ
سَبْعٌ
فِى
ثَمَانٍ should properly be
فِى
ثَمَانِيَةٍ, (S,) which means, The garment,
or piece of cloth, is seven cubits in length
by eight spans in breadth; (Msb;) because the length
is measured by the
ذِرَاع, which is fem., and the breadth by the
شِبْر, which is masc.; but they use the fem. when
they do not mention things; as when they say,
صُمْنَا
مِنَ
الشَّهْرِ
خَمْسًا [We fasted, of the month, five], though
meaning days: (S:) or because
ذراع is fem. in most instances, and
شبر is masc. (Msb.) [But it is said that when
ثمانية means the things numbered, not the amount of
the number, it is imperfectly decl., being regarded as a
proper name: thus] you say,
تِسْعَةُ
أَكْثَرُ
مِنْ
ثَمَانِيَةَ [Nine things are more than eight
things]. (TA voce
تِسْعَةٌ, q. v.) [See also
سِتَّةٌ.] ― -b2- When you make it a compound [with
the number ten], you say,
عِنْدَى
ثَمَانِيَةَ
عَشَرَ
رَجُلًا [I have with me eighteen men]: and in
the case of the fem., you may either make the
ى to be with fet-h or make it quiescent, saying,
عِنْدِى
مِنَ
النِّسَآءِ
ثَمَانِىَ
عَشْرَةَ
امْرَأَةً
or
ثَمَانِىْعَشْرَةَ [I have with me, of women,
eighteen women]; but the former is the more chaste;
and in one dial., the
ى is elided, on the condition of [saying
ثَمَانَ
عَشْرَةَ,] making the
ن to be with fet-h; (Msb;) or in this case you say
ثَمَانِ
عَشْرَةَ, with kesr. (T.) A poet says, (T, S,)
namely, El-Aashà, (K,) “
فَلَأَشْرَبَنَّ
ثَمَانِيًا
وَثَمَانِيًا
وَثَمَانِ
عَشْرَةَ
وَاثْنَتَيْنِ
وَأَرْبَعَا
” [And I will assuredly drink eight cups of wine,
(a pl. of
كَأْس, which is fem., being understood,) and
eight more, and eighteen, and two, and four]:
(T, S, K: but in the S and K,
وَلَقَدْ
شَرِبْتُ; and in the K, and in one copy of the S,
وَثَمَانَ:) he should properly have said
ثَمَانِىَ
عَشْرَةَ or
ثَمَانِىْ
عَشْرَةَ, (accord. to different copies of the T and
S and K,) but he elides the
ى after the dial. of him who says
طِوَالُ
الأَيْدِ [for
الأَيْدِى], (S, K,) and he makes the
ن to be with kesr in order to indicate the
ى. (T.) ― -b3- The dim. of
ثَمَانِيَةٌ may be formed either by suppressing the
ا, which is the preferable way, so that you say ↓
ثُمَيْنِيَةٌ , or by suppressing the
ى, saying ↓
ثُمَيِّنَةٌ , changing the
ا into
ى and incorporating into it the
ى that is the characteristic of the dim.; and you
may compensate for both [of these suppressed letters by
saying ↓
ثُمَيْنِيَّةٌ and ↓
ثُمَيِّينَةٌ ]. (S.) ― -b4-
الثَّمَانِى is also the name of A certain plant.
(As, T, K.)
ثَمَانُونَ
ثمانون a well-known noun of number; [meaning
Eighty;] sometimes used as an epithet: ElAashà says,
“
لَئِنْ
كُنْتَ
فِى
جُبٍّ
ثَمَانِينَ
قَامَةً
وَرُقِّيتَ
أَسْبَابَ
السِّمَآءِ
بِسُلَّمِ
” [Assuredly if thou wert in a well eighty fathoms
deep, and wert made to ascend the tracts of heaven by a
ladder]: he uses it thus as meaning deep. (TA. [But
in this verse, as cited in the present art in the TA,
أَبْوَابَ is put in the place of
اسباب, which is the reading commonly known, and
given in the S and TA in art.
سب, and in the TA in art

ثَمَانِينَ [than a demander of eighty sheep],

Arab of the desert announced to Kisrà an event that
rejoiced him, whereupon he said, “ Ask of me what thou
