    ; and ↓ رَنِمَ, (S, Msb,) aor. , (Msb,) inf. n. [رَنَمٌ and] رَنِيمٌ; (TK;) i. q. رَجَّعَ صَوْتَهُ (S, Msb) i. e. [He trilled, or quavered; or] he reiterated his voice in his throat, or fauces, (S and K and TA in art. رجع,) like [as is done in] chanting, (S in that art.,) or in reading or reciting, or singing, or piping, or other performances, of such as are accompanied with quavering, or trilling: (TA in that art.:) both said of a singer: (Msb:) and the former said of a bird, in its هَدِير [or cooing]; (S, Msb;) and of a bow, when it is twanged: (S:) and تَرْنِيمٌ [inf. n. of ↓ رنّم] signifies the like: (S:) or التَّرْنِيمُ signifies تَطْرِيبُ الصَّوْتِ [i. e. the trilling, or quavering, and prolonging the voice; or prolonging the voice, and modulating it sweetly, or warbling]; (T, * M, K;) and so رَنِيمٌ [mentioned above as inf. n. of ↓ رَنِمَ]; (Lth, T, M, K;) whence التَّرَنُّمُ [which signifies the same, as is shown by what follows]: (Lth, T:) ↓ رنّم is said of the pigeon, (M, K,) and of the [bird called] مُكَّاء, (M,) and of the [locust, or species of locust, called] جُنْدَب [meaning it chirped], and of the bow [meaning it emitted a musical ringing sound, or a plaintive sound (see تَرْنَمُوتٌ, below,) when twanged], (M, K,) and [in like manner] of the lute, (M,) and of a thing (M, K:) of any kind (M) of which the sound is esteemed pleasant, or delightful; and تَرَنَّمَ likewise: (M, K:) or you say, الحَمَامَةُ تَتَرَنَّمُ [The pigeon trills, or quavers, or cooes]: and of the مُكَّآء you say, ↓ فِى صَوْتِهِ تَرْنِيمٌ [In its voice, or cry, is a trilling, or quavering]: and of the bow, and the lute, and a thing [of any kind] of which the sound is esteemed pleasant, or delightful, ↓ لَهُ تَرْنِيمٌ [It has a musical ringing sound, or a plaintive sound]. (Lth, T.) It is said in a trad., مَا أَذِنَ ٱللّٰهُ لِشَىْءٍ أَذَنَهُ لِنَبِىٍّ حَسَنِ التَّرَنُّمِ بِالقُرْآنِ [God has not listened to anything as He listens to a prophet having a good manner of trilling, or quavering, or prolonging and modulating sweetly his voice, in reciting the Kur-án]: or, as some relate it, حَسَنِ الصَّوْتِ يَتَرَنَّمُ بِالقُرْآنِ [good in respect of the voice, trilling, &c., in reciting the Kur-án]. (TA.)
  • رَنَمٌ A voice, or sound

  • رُنُمٌ Good, or excellent, female singers

  • رَنْمَةٌ A trilling, or quavering
    , (M, and so in copies of the K.) thus it seems to be accord. to [a rule observed in] the K, but accord. to Z it seems to be ↓ رَنَمَةٌ, (TA, and thus it is written in the CK,) and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةٌ, (M, and so in the K accord. to the TA,) or ↓ تَرْنَمُوتٌ, (S, [and so in my MS. copy of the K,]) or this last also, (M,) or ↓ تَرْنُومَةٌ or تُرْنُومَةٌ, (accord. to other copies of the K,) i. q. تَرَنُّمٌ [i. e. A trilling, or quavering, &c.: see 5]. (S, M, K.) Thus in the phrases, سَمِعَ رَنْمَةً حَسَنَةً and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةً [He heard a good, or pleasing, trilling, &c.]: (M:) and لَهُ رَنْمَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ or ↓ رَنَمَةٌ and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةٌ &c. (accord. to different copies of the K) [i. e. He, or it, has a good, or pleasing, trilling, &c.]. ↓ تَرْنَمُوتٌ is formed by the addition of و and ت, like as is مَلَكُوتٌ: (S:) it is said to be the only instance in which ت is added at the beginning and end of a word: (MF:) and it is used in relation to a bow [as meaning A musical ringing sound on the occasion of twanging]. (S, M.) [↓ رَنِيمٌ, also, said in the TK to be an inf. n. of رَنِمَ, and in the M and K to be syn. with تَرْنِيمٌ, is used in a similar manner:] you say, سَمِعْتُ لَهُ رَنِيمًا [I heard him to have a trilling, or quavering, sound proceeding from him; or I heard it to have a musical ringing sound proceeding from it]; taken from the تَرَنُّم of the bird in its cooing. (Msb.)
  • رَنَمَةٌ A certain slender plant
    A certain slender plant, (T, K,) well known; (T;) said by As to be one of the plants growing in plain, or soft, ground: (A'Obeyd, T:) IAar is related to have said that the رَنَمَة, with ن, is a certain species of tree: Sh knew not this word, and supposed it to be a mistranscription for رَتَمَة; but the رَتَم are [comparatively] large trees, [or rather shrubs, of the broom-kind,] having trunks; whereas the رنمة is of the slender kind of plants [as is said above].
