(Ṣ.)

استخمرهُ He made him, or took him as, a slave: (Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ:) of the dial. of El-Yemen. (Mgh, TA.) [See 3.] So in the trad. of Mo'ádh, مَنْ ٱسْتَخْمَرَ قَوْمًا أَوَّلُهُمْ أَحْرَارٌ وَجِيرَانٌ مُسْتَضْعَفُونَ فَلَهُ مَا قَصَرَ فِى بَيْتِهِ [Whosoever hath made slaves, or taken as slaves, persons the first state of whomhath been that of freemen and neighbours, regarded as weak, to him shall belong what he hath held in possession in his house or tent]: (Ṣ,* L:) i. e., hath taken them by force, and obtained possession of them: (Ṣ:) meaning, whosoever hath made slaves, or taken as slaves, persons in the Time of Ignorance, and then El-Islám hath come, to him shall belong those whom he hath held in possession in his house or tent: they shall not go from his hand. (Az, TA.) Moḥammad Ibn-Ketheer says, This is a phrase known to us in El-Yemen, where any other is scarcely ever used [in its stead]. (Ṣ.)

خَمْرٌ [Wine: or grape-wine:] what intoxicates, of the expressed juice of grapes: (ISd, Ḳ:) or the juice of grapes when it has effervesced, and thrown up froth, and become freed therefrom, and still: (Mgh:) or it has a common application to intoxicating expressed juice of anything: (Ḳ, TA:) or any intoxicating thing, that clouds, or obscures, (lit. covers,) the intellect; as some say: (Mgh,* Mṣb: [but see what follows:]) and the general application is the more correct, because خَمْر was forbidden when there was not in El-Medeeneh any خَمْر of grapes; the beverage of its inhabitants being prepared only from dates in their green and small state, or full-grown but unripe, or fresh and ripe, or dried: (Ḳ,* TA:) or the arguing thus, from this fact alone, requires consideration: (MF:) AḤn says, it is † sometimes prepared from grains: but ISd holds this to be an improper signification: (TA:) it is also sometimes applied to the † beverage called نَبِيذ, like as نبيذ is sometimes applied to wine expressed from grapes: (L in art. نبذ:) applied to ‡ expressed juice from which خَمْر [properly so called] is made, [i. e., to must, or unfermented نَبِيذ,] it is tropical: it is so used in a trad. in which خَمْر is said to have been sold by [a companion of Moḥammad named] Samurah: خَمْر [in its proper acceptation] is so called because it veils (تَخْمُرُ, i. e. تَسْتُرُ,) the intellect: (Ḳ:) or because it infects (تُخَامِرُ, i. e. تُخَالِطُ,) the intellect: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) [as though acting like leaven: (see 1:)] so said ʼOmar: (TA:) or because it is left until it has become mature [and fermented]; (Ḳ;) or until its odour has changed: (IAạr, Ṣ:) [see 8:] the proper application of the root is to denote “covering,” and “commingling in a hidden manner:” (Ṣgh, Er-Rághib, TA:) it is of the fem. gender, and sometimes masc.: (Mṣb, Ḳ:) you say هُوَ الخَمْرُ as well as هِىَ الخَمْرُ: but Aṣ does not allow it to be masc.: (Mṣb:) andخَمْرَةٌ↓ signifies the same: (Ḳ:) [or a kind of wine:] or خَمْرٌ and خَمْرَةٌ are like تَمْرٌ and تَمْرَةٌ; [the former a coll. gen. n., and the latter its n. un.;] (Ṣ;) and خَمْرَةٌ [thus] signifies some wine; lit., a portion of خَمْر: (Mṣb:) the pl. of خَمْرٌ is خُمُورٌ. (Ṣ, Mṣb.) You say [also]خَمْرَةٌ↓ صِرْفٌ [Some pure, or unmixed, wine; using a masc. epithet, contr. to rule]. (Ṣ.)

[Hence the saying,] مَا عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ خَلٌّ وَلَا خَمْرٌ, (Ṣ,) or مَا هُوَ بِخَلٍّ وَلَا خَمْرٍ, (Ḳ,) ‡ Such a one, (Ṣ,) or he, (Ḳ,) possesses neither good nor evil: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) [or neither evil nor good: for] AA says that some of the Arabs make الخَمْرُ to be good, and الخَلُّ to be evil; and some of them make الخمر to be evil, and الخلّ to be good. (Ḥar p. 153.)

خَمْرٌ also signifies † Grapes; (AḤn, M, Ḳ;) in the dial. of El-Yemen: (M:) like as عِنَبٌ signifies “wine” in that dial. (AḤn, TA in art. عنب.) It is said in the Ḳur [xii. 36], إِنِّى أَرَانِى أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا Verily I thought myself pressing grapes: (ISd:) or the meaning is, pressing out wine from grapes. (Ibn-ʼArafeh.)

خَمَرٌ A covert of trees, &c.: (ISk, Ṣ, Mgh, Ḳ:) or a place where the ground is eaten away by a torrent, or an oblong tract of sand collected together and elevated, forming a place for concealment: (ISk, Ṣ:) and a hollow, or cavity, in which a wolf conceals himself: and tangled trees. (TA.) You say, تَوَارَى الصَّيْدُ مِنِّى فِى خَمَرِ الوَادِى [The game, or wild animal or animals, concealed itself, or themselves, from me in the covert,, &c., of the valley]. (Ṣ.) And هُوَ يَدِبُّ لَهُ الضَّرَآءَ وَيَمْشِى لَهُ الخَمَرَ † [He creeps to him in the thicket, or place overgrown with trees; and he walks to him in the covert of trees,, &c.: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. 913]: speaking of a man when he deceives, or circumvents, his companion. (Ṣ.) And جَآءَنَا عَلَى خَمْرٍ andعلى خِمْرَةٍ↓ † He came to us secretly; unexpectedly; clandestinely. (Ḳ.)

Hence, (Ṣ,) خَمَرٌ andخُمَارٌ↓ andخَمَارٌ↓ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andخَمْرَةٌ↓ (Ḳ) † A crowding, (Ṣ,) or congregation, (Ḳ,) and multitude, of men or people. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) You say,دَخَلَ فِى خَمَارِ↓ النَّاسِ andخَمَارِهِمْ↓, dial. vars. of غُمَار and غَمَار, i. e. ‡ He entered among the crowding and multitude of the men or people; (Ṣ;) and in like manner,فى خَمَرْتِهِمْ↓ and غَمَرْتِهِمْ; (TA;) as also فى خَمَرِهِمْ and غَمَرِهِمْ: (TA in art. غمر:) or among such [a crowd] of the people as hid him.
