He (a man, S) went, (S,) or came, (K,) to Tihámeh: (S, K:) Er-Riyáshee says, I have heard the Arabs of the desert say thus of him who has descended from the mountain-roads of Dhát 'Irk: (TA:) or he alighted, or abode, therein: (K:) as also ↓ تَاهَمَ, (JK, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, تَاهَّمَ,]) in the latter sense, (JK,) and ↓ تتهّم; (K;) or these mean he came to Tihámeh. (TA.) ― -b2- [Accord. to Golius, on the authority of a gloss. in the KL, it signifies also, He went into a region of hot air: and this, if correct, may be the primary meaning.] -A2- اتهم البَلَدَ He found the country, or town, to be insalubrious, (K, TA,) and to have a bad, or foul, odour. (TA.) -A3- اتهم, inf. n. إِتْهَامٌ; in measure like أَكْرَمَ, inf. n. إِكْرَامٌ; (Msb;) [originally اوهم; or] formed from تُهَمَةٌ, in consequence of imagining the ت in this word to be radical; (MF in art. وهم;) [like as is said of أَتْخَمَ;] He did a thing that made him an object of suspicion: (JK and Msb and TA in the present art.:) or he was an object of suspicion: (K in art. وهم: [in the CK and TK, erroneously, اتّهم:]) or there was in him that which induced suspicion: you say of a man, when you suspect him, أَتْهَمْتَ, inf. n. إِتْهَامٌ; like أَدْوَأْتَ, inf. n. إِدْوَآءٌ. (S in art. وهم.) -A4- اتهمهُ He suspected him; thought evil of him; as also ↓ اِتَّهَمَهُ [which is the more common]. (Msb in this art.) You say, اتهمهُ بِكَذَا, (K, and so in some copies of the S, both in art. وهم,) inf. n. إِتْهَامٌ; (K in that art.;) or بِهِ ↓ اِتَّهَمَهُ; (Msb and K, and so in some copies of the S, all in that art.;) and أَوْهَمَهُ; (K in that art.;) He suspected him of such a thing; imputed it to him; (Msb and K * and TA, all in that art.;) [and he accused him of such a thing;] i. e., a thing attributed to him. (TA.) And ↓ اِتَّهَمْتُهُ فِى قَوْلِهِ [I suspected him in respect of his saying;] I doubted of the correctness, or truth, of his saying. (Msb in art. وهم.)

[in the CK, erroneously, تَهْم] Land descending (أَرْضٌ مُتَصَوِّبَةٌ [in the CK, here and afterwards, erroneously, مُتَصَوِّيَة]) to the sea; as also ↓ تَهَمَةٌ; (K, TA;) mentioned by IKt, from Ez-Ziyádee, from As: (TA:) these two words seem to be [originally] inf. ns. from تِهَامَةُ: (K:) [and accord. to F,] ↓ التَّهْمَةُ is a dial. var. of ↓ تِهَامَةُ: (K:) [but J says,] ↓ التَّهَمَةُ is used in the place of ↓ تِهَامَةُ, as though it were [originally] the inf. n. un., accord. to the saying of As that التَّهَمُ, with fet-h to the medial radical, is an inf. n. from ↓ تِهَامَةُ: (S:) for the ↓ تَهَايأِم [pl. of تِهَامَةُ, and thus meaning the parts of Tihámeh, or, accord. to the JK, meaning lands descending to the sea,] do descend to the sea: (K, TA:) so says As: (TA:) and [hence] the rájiz says, (namely, Sheytán Ibn-Mudlij, TA,) " نَظَرْتُ وَالعَيْنُ مُبِينَةُ التَّهَمْ " [I looked, the eye distinguishing Et-Taham], (S, and Ham p. 659,) meaning Et-Tihámeh. (Ham ibid.) ― -b2- [As inf. n. of تَهِمَ, q. v.,] التَّهَمُ also signifies Vehemence of heat, and [or with] stillness of the wind. (K.) And hence Tihámeh is said to be thus called. (TA.)

, applied to flesh-me., Altered for the worse; (JK;) having a foul odour; stinking. (JK, * K.) ― -b2- أَرْضٌ تَهِمَةٌ A land vehemently, or intensely, hot. (Er-Riyáshee, TA.) -A2- Sleeping; (JK;) i. q. تَهِنٌ. (TA in art. لعث.)

(JK.)

, (S, M, K, &c., in art. وهم, and Msb in that art. and in the present also,) of which ↓ تُهْمَةٌ is a dial. var. mentioned by El-Fárábee (Msb, and TA in art. وهم) and by several other authors, or, accord. to Ibn-Kemál, the latter is an inf. n. and the former is a simple subst., but Esh-Shiháb doubts of this; (TA;) originally وَهَمَةٌ, (S, ISd, Msb, &c.,) like as تُخَمَةٌ is originally وُخَمَةٌ; (ISd, TA;) a subst. from اِتَّهَمَهُ; (S, Msb, both in art. وهم;) Doubt: and [more commonly] suspicion, or evil opinion; or doubt combined with suspicion or evil opinion: syn. شَكٌّ: and رِيبَةٌ: (Msb in the present art.:) or i. q. ظَنٌّ [which is a preponderating wavering between the two extremes of indecisive belief; and often means suspicion]: (ISd and TA in art. وهم:) or a thing for which one is suspected: (K in that art.: [and this is often meant by رِيبَةٌ, one of the syns. mentioned above:]) the pl. of تُهْمَةٌ is تُهَمٌ, mentioned by Sb, who argues that it is a pl. [and not a coll. gen. n.] from their saying هِىَ التُّهَمُ [They are suspicions, &c.], and not saying هُوَ التُّهَمُ like as they say هُوَ الرُّطَبُ. (TA in art. وهم.)
