خِزَامَة [to which the rein is attached]: and the letter of a Kádee to another Kádee; for such a letter is pierced for the سِحَآءَة [or strip of paper with which it is bound], and is then sealed [upon this strip]; and when this is done, the letter is said to be ↓ مَخْزُومٌ. (Mgh.) You say, خَزَمَ البَعِيرَ, aor. as above, (Mgh, Msb,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) He pierced the nose of the camel (Mgh, Msb) for the خِزَامَة: (Mgh:) or خَزَمَ البَعِيرَ (S, K) بِالخِزَامَةِ, (S,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) he put the خزامة in the side of the nostril, (K,) or in the partition between the nostrils, (S,) [but the former is the more common practice,] of the camel; (S, K;) as also ↓ خزّمهُ; (K;) [or] this signifies the doing so much, or often. (TA.) [Hence,] خَزَمَ أَنْفَهُ (assumed tropical:) He brought him under, or into, subjection; rendered him submissive, tractable, or manageable. (TA.) and خَزَمْتُ الجَرَادَ فِى العُودِ I spitted the locusts in a series upon the [skewer, or] piece of stick or wood. (S.)

(TA, [See also خِزَامَةٌ.]) b2: [Also He cut it. for] الخَزْمُ is syn. with القَطْعُ. (Ham p. 166.

[It is there also said to be syn. with الشد; i. e. الشَّدُّ; but this is app. a mistake for الشَّكُّ, a meaning assigned to it in the JK, agreeably with the K.]) 2 خَزَّمَ see 1.3 خازمهُ, (S,) or خازِمهُ الطَّرِيقَ, (K,) inf. n. مُخَازَمَةٌ (S in art. خصر) [and خِزَامٌ], He (a man, S) took a different way from his (another's) until they both met in one place: (S, K:) the doing so is also termed مُخَاصَرَةٌ: (S in art. خصر, and TA:) it is as though it were a rivalling, or imitating, in travelling. (TA.) Ibn-Fesweh says, إِذَا هُوَ نَحَّاهَا عَنِ القَصْدِ خَازَمَتْ بِهِ الجَوْرَ حَتَّى تَسْتَقِيمُ ضُحَى الغَدِ i. e. When he turns her, meaning his she-camel, from the right way, she pursues with him a way different from the wrong, so that she overcomes him, and takes the right way, in the early daytime of the morrow.

(Msb.) [Hence,] أَعْطَى القُرْآنَ خَزَائِمَهُ: from a trad. of Abu-d-Dardà, in which it is said, مُرْهُمْ

أَنْ يُعْطُوا القُرْآنَ بِخَزَاتِمِهِمْ (tropical:) Command ye them that they submit themselves to the judgment, or decision, of the Kur-án; خزائم being here pl. of خِزَامَةٌ: (IAth, TA:) or أَعْطُوا القُرْآنَ خَزَائِمَهُ (assumed tropical:) Render ye to the Kur-án its due.

(TA.) خَزُومَةٌ i. q. بَقَرَةٌ [app. as meaning both A bull and a cow], (JK, S, K,) in the dial. of Hudheyl; (S;) or such as is advanced in age, and short: (M, K:) pl. ↓ خَزُومٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.,] and [the pl. is] خَزَائِمُ (JK, K) and خَزُومَاتٌ (S) and [quasi-pl. n.] ↓ خَزَمٌ. (TA.) خَزَّامٌ A maker of ropes of the bark of the tree called خَزَم.

(JK, K. *) One says, ↓ مَاهُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ المُخَزَّمَةِ, meaning (tropical:) They are none others than stupid, or foolish, persons. (TA. [But كَالْأَنْعَامِ is app., here, a mistranscription for كَالنَّعَامِ; for the ostrich is proverbial for stupidity: one says أَحْمَقُ مِنْ نَعَامَةٍ “ More stupid than an ostrich: ” because, as Meyd says, when an ostrich happens to see the eggs of another ostrich, it will sit upon them, and forget its own eggs.])
