(TA, from a trad.) And غَمَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلًا قَالَهُ I blamed him, or found fault with him, for a saying that he said. (S.) ― -b3- And hence, (TA,) غَمَصَ النِّعْمَةَ, (S, K,) and غَمِصَهَا, (K,) the latter is the form authorized by the T and the Deewán el-Adab, this verb and [its syn.] غمط being there said to be both with kesr to the م, (TA,) He was ungrateful, or unthankful, for the favour or benefit; (S, K, TA;) he despised it, and disacknowledged it.

(TA.) 8 إِِغْتَمَصَ see 1, in two places. غَمَصٌ ذ Fluid filth [or foul matter] in the inner corner of the eye: (Mgh:) or what is fluid of [the filth, or foul matter, or white filth, which collects in the inner corner of the eye, and which, when concrete, is called] رَمَص: (S, K:) or a thing like froth, which the eye emits; a portion whereof is termed ↓ غَمَصَةٌ : (TA:) or what resembles white froth, in the side of the eye: but رَمَصٌ is in the side of the eyelashes: (ISh:) or both these words signify dirt which the eye emits: or غَمَصٌ is what is concrete. (M in art. رمص.) غَمِصٌ ذ , a possessive epithet, A great imputer of vices or faults. (TA.) غَمَصَةٌ ذ : see غَمَصٌ. يَمِينٌ غَمُوصٌ ذ i. q. غَمُوسٌ. ― -b2- هُوَ غَمُوصُ الحَنْجَرَةِ He is a liar.

(A.) غُمَيْصَآءُ ذ dim. of غَمْصَآءُ [fem. of أَغْمَصُ]. (TA.) Hence, (TA,) الغُمَيْصَآءُ [The star Procyon;] one of the شِعْرَيَانِ, (S, K,) whereof the other is الشِّعْرَى العَبُورُ [i. e. Sirius]: (TA:) the former is also called ↓ الغَمُوصُ , (S, K,) and الرُّمَيْصَآءُ, (TA,) and الشِّعْرَى الشَّامِيَّةُ: (IAth:) it is one of the Mansions of the Moon [accord. to those who make the term نَوْءٌ to signify the auroral setting; namely, the Seventh]; (TA;) and is in the ذِرَاع; (S;) i. e., it is the greater of the two stars called الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ: (IAth:) it is called الغميصاء because of its smallness and its littleness of light [in comparison with the other شعرى], from غَمَصُ العَيْنِ: (TA:) [or the reason of its being so called is this:] the Arabs assert that the شِعْرَيَانِ are the sisters of سُهَيْل [or Canopus]; (IDrd, S;) and that they [three] were together; but that سهيل descended into the south, and الشِّعْرَى اليَمَانِيَّةُ [which is Sirius] followed it; (IDrd;) this latter, they say, crossed the Milky way, and was therefore named العَبُورُ; and الغميصاء remained in her place, weeping for the loss of the two others until her eye became affected with غَمَص: (IDrd, K: *) they also assert that thou seest العبور when she rises as though she desired to cross [the Milky Way] (كَأَنَّهَا تَسْتَعْبِرُ); but الغميصاء thou seest not [as yet in any part of Arabia], she having wept until she has become affected with غَمَص. (S.) أَغْمَصُ ذ Having, in his eye, what is termed غَمَصٌ, q. v.: (Mgh, K:) or disordered in the eye; whose eyes are dim, or watery; like أَعْمَشُ: (L and TA in art. عمش:) fem. غَمْصَآءُ: and pl. غُمْصٌ. (TA.) هُوَ مَغْمُوصٌ عَلَيْهِ ذ He is censured, or blamed, or reproached, (S, K,) with respect to his religion, (S, A, K,) and with respect to his grounds of pretension to respect. (A.) It is said in a trad., إِِلَّا مَغْموصٌ عَلَيْهِ النِّفَاقُ, meaning, Except one censured, &c., with respect to his religion; accused, or suspected, of hypocrisy. (TA.) أَنَا مُسْتَغْمِصٌ مِنْ هٰذَا الخَبَرِ وَمُتَوَهِّمٌ ذ [I am suspicious of this information, and opining;] is said by one when a piece of information rejoices him but he fears that it may not be true; or when he fears it and yet it rejoices him.
