زمرد زمرذ زمع


زُمُرُّذٌ / زُمُرُّذَةٌ

زُمُرُّذٌ (T, Ṣ, Mgh, L, Mṣb, Ḳ) and زُمُرَّذٌ, (Az, TA,) and accord. to some زُمُرُّدٌ, with the unpointed د (TA,) or, accord. to IḲt, this is a mistranscription, and Aṣ says that it is correctly written with the pointed ذ (Mṣb,) [The emerald: accord. to some] i. q. زَبَرْجَدٌ; (Sudot;, L, Mṣb, Ḳ;) but Et-Teyfáshee [rightly] says that the زبرجد is a different kind of stone: [see this word:] and Ibn-Sá'id El-Anṣáree says that the mine of the زبرجد is said to be near to that of the زمّرذ: (TA:) several authors say that the زمّرذ differs from the زبرجد in being more green: (MF, TA:) it is an arabicized word [from the Pers. زُمْرُدْ]: (Ṣ, L, Mṣb, Ḳ:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة {زُمُرُّذَةٌ}. (Mṣb.)
