(Fr, Ṣ,) or, as some relate it, التَّخُومُ↓: (TA:) accord. to the former reading, Fr says, the meaning is, [O my sons,] the limits, or boundaries, [misplace ye not them], for he does not say تَظْلِمُوهُ: but ISK says, I heard AA say, it is تَخُوم↓, and the pl. is تُخُمٌ; like صَبُورٌ and صُبُرٌ: (Ṣ:) both IAạr and ISk say that the sing and pl. are like رَسُولٌ and رُسُلٌ: (Mṣb:) but the latter mentions also تُخُومٌ, with damm, as a pl. form, having no sing.: (TA:) orتَخُومٌ↓ signifies a sign, or mark [of a boundary or of a way]: and limits, or boundaries: and is sometimes with [to the ت]: (Mgh:) Lth says that تخوم [written without any vowel-sign] signifies a division, or place of division, between two districts and two towns or villages; and the limit, or boundary, of the land of any district and town or village is its تخوم: and AHeyth says that this word signifies limits, or boundaries: (TA:) or تُخُومٌ, with damm, signifies a sign, or mark, and a limit, or boundary, that is a division between two lands; and is of the fem. gender: and the pl. is تُخُومٌ also, and تُخُمٌ: (Ḳ:) this app. means that these are pls. of تُخُومٌ; but the former is a word that is used as a sing. and as a pl.; and the latter is pl. of تَخُومٌ, like as صُبُرٌ is of صَبُورٌ, and غُفُرٌ of غَفُورٌ: (TA:) or (as ISk says, TA) the sing. is تُخْمٌ↓ and تَخْمٌ (Ḳ) andتَخُومَةٌ↓: (AḤn, Ṣ,* Ḳ:) accord. to AʼObeyd, the Arabic linguists say تَخُومٌ↓, like صَبُورٌ, making it fem. and sing.; but the people of Syria say تُخُومٌ, with damm to the ت, making it pl., and the sing. is تَخْمٌ: accord. to IB, one says تَخُومٌ↓ and تُخُومٌ, and زَبُورٌ and زُبُورٌ, and عَذُوبٌ and عُذُوبٌ; and no fourth instance of the kind is known; [but see عَذُوبٌ;] and the Basrees pronounce it with damm [to the ت], and the Koofees with fet-ḥ.
