جُثْمَانٌ

جُثْمَانٌ The body, with the limbs or members; syn. جِسْمٌ: and i. q. شَخْصٌ [app. as meaning a person; not, as J seems to have held, a corporeal, or material, form or thing or substance, such as is seen from a distance; see جِسْمٌ]: (Ḳ:) or, accord. to Aṣ, it has the latter meaning, i. q. شَخْصٌ; and جُسْمَانٌ has the former meaning, that of جِسْمٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb) and جَسَدٌ: (Mṣb:) or, accord. to AZ, جُثْمَانٌ is syn. with جُسْمَانٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) i. e. جَسَدٌ. (Ṣ.) One says, مَا أَحْسَنَ جُثْمَانَ الرَّجُلِ and جُسْمَانَهُ, meaning [How goodly, or beautiful, is] the body, or person, of the man! (AZ, Ṣ.) J cites, as an ex. of this word in the sense of شخص, from a verse of Bishr,

* سَنَامٌ كَجُثْمَانِ البَنِيِّةِ أَتْلَعَا *

observing that by البنيّة is meant the Kaabeh: but IB says that the right reading, as found in his poetry, is البَلِيَّةِ, and أَتْلَعُ; and that the meaning is, A [long] hump like the جثمان [or body] of the she-camel that is placed [and confined without food or water until she dies] at the grave of a dead man. (TA.) One says also, جَآءَنَا بِثَرِيدٍ كَجُثْمَانِ المَآءِ [He brought us crumbled bread moistened with broth and piled up, like the body of the bird of the kind called قَطًا]. (Ṣ.)


جُثْمَانِيَّةُ

جُثْمَانِيَّةُ المَآءِ, as used in the saying of El-Farajeeyeh, (Ḳ,) so in the copies of the Ḳ, [or El-Faraheeyeh, accord. to the CK,] but correctly of El-Farezdaḳ, (TA,)

* وَبَاتَتْ بِجُثْمَانِيَّةِ المَآءِ نِيبُهَا *
* إِلَى ذَاتِ رَحْلٍ كَٱلْمَآتِمِ حُسَّرَا *

means The water itself: or the middle thereof: or the place where it collected. (Ḳ TA.) [The poet says, And her aged she-camels passed the night in the water, &c., … like the companies of mourning women having the head, or the face, &c., uncovered: but what is meant by الى ذات رحل, unless it be with one having a saddle upon her, إِلَى being sometimes used in the sense of مَعَ I am unable to conjecture. In the CK, نَيْبَها and كالمٰاثِمِ are erroneously put for نِيبُهَا and كَالمَآتِمِ.]
