ل ق م

, [aor. ,] inf. n. لَقْمٌ, (JK, MS,) [He gobbled a gobbet, or morsel, or mouthful, or] he swallowed the gobbet; and so ↓ اِلْتَقَمَهَا. (S.) لَقِمَهُ, aor. , (Msb, K, &c.,) inf. n. لَقْمٌ, (JK, MA, K, MS, JM,) or لَقَمٌ (Msb, [app. a mistake,]) He gobbled it; i. e., ate it quickly, (Msb, K, TA,) as also ↓ اِلْتَقَمَهُ, (Msb, [see above,]) and hastily; drew it with his mouth, and ate it quickly. (TA) ― -b2- لَقِمَ بِيَدِهِ He put morsels into his mouth (i. e., his own mouth) with his hand. See an ex. voce رَقَعَ. This seems to be the primary signification.

↓ أَلْقَمَهُ [He fed with the food by the mouthful; put it into his mouth by the mouthful]: (Msb:) or لَقَّمَهُ إِيَّاهُ and ↓ أَلْقَمَهُ إِيَّاهُ he put a mouthful [of it] into his mouth. (TA.) And لَقَّمَهُ and ↓ أَلْقَمَهُ [He fed him by the mouthful; put mouthfuls into his mouth]. (S.)

see 1. ― -b2- اِلْتَقَمَ فَاهَا فِى التَّقْبِيلِ [He took her mouth within his lips in kissing]. (S in art. كعم.) Hence the verb signifies (assumed tropical:) It embraced, or clasped, a thing: see an instance, voce مِحْصَنٌ.

A morsel, gobbet, or mouthful: what is [swallowed, or] eaten quickly, at once, of bread [&c.]; like as جُرْعَةٌ signifies what is swallowed at once in drinking: (Msb:) or what is prepared to be [swallowed, or] eaten quickly [at once]. (K, TA.) ― -b2- لُقْمَةٌ القَاضِى, and لُقْمَةُ الخَلِيفَةِ: see زُمَاوَرْدٌ, art. ورد; and مُيَسَّرٌ.

Same as لُقَمَاتُ القاضى.
