(JK.) ― -b2- And خَضْرَمَ He mixed [a thing or things]: (IKh, TA:) [and so حَضْرَمَ, as is indicated in the K in art. حضرم, by an explanation of the inf. n.] ― -b3- And خَضْرَمَةٌ signifies also The making a thing to be of an intermediate, or a middling, kind or quality. (TA.) Q. 2 تَخَضْرَمَ تخضرم , said of butter [in the process of formation], It became dissundered, or separated [into clots], by reason of intense cold; and did not coalesce; as also تحصرم. (TA in art. حصرم.) خِضْرِمٌ خضرم A well having much water; (JK, K;) and so, [as some say,] a sea, or great river; but its application as an epithet to a sea, or great river, is disallowed by As: (S:) or a great sea: (K:) accord. to some, so called because of its greenness; and if so, the م is augmentative: (MF:) or water copious and wide in the utmost degree: (Mz 49th نوع:) and anything much in quantity, or copious, (S, K,) and wide, or ample: (S:) or it signifies also wide, or ample, (K,) applied to anything: (TA:) pl. خَضَارِمُ: (S:) and ↓ مُخَضْرَمٌ and ↓ خُضَارِمٌ , also, signify much in quantity, or copious, applied to water: (TA:) and خِضْرِمٌ is applied in this sense as an epithet to نَبِيذ.

(TK.) خُضَرِمٌ خضرم Sweet water: or water between sweet and bitter: (K:) on the authority of Yaakoob. (TA.) -A2- The young of the [kind of lizard called] ضَبّ: (S, K:) accord. to IDrd, in its first stage it is called حِسْلٌ; [after which he should have said, then, غَيْدَاقٌ;] then it is called مُطَبِّخٌ [q. v.]; then, خُضَرِمٌ; and then, ضَبٌّ: he does not mention the term غَيْدَاقٌ, but AZ mentions it. (S.) خِضْرِمِىٌّ خضرم خضرمى خضرمي خضرميي : see الخَضَارِمَةُ. خُضَارِمٌ خضارم خضرم : see خِضْرِمٌ, in two places. الخَضَارِمَةُ الخضارمه الخضارمة A certain people of the عَجَم [i. e. Persians], (S, K,) of the sons of Fáris, (S,) who went forth [from their country] in the beginning of El-Islám, and dwelt in Syria: (S, K:) i. e., those people who went forth at that period dispersed themselves in the countries of the Arabs; some of them settling in El-Basrah, and these are the أَسَاوِرَة; and some of them, in El-Koofeh, and these are the أَحَامِرَة; and some of them, in Syria, and they are the خَضَارِمَة; and some of them, in El-Jezeereh, and they are the جَرَاجِمَة; and some of them, in El-Yemen, and they are the أَبْنَآء; and some of them, in El-Mowsil, and they are the جَرَامِقَة: (S, TA:) the n. un. is ↓ خِضْرِمِىٌّ . (K.) مُخَضْرَمٌ مخضرم [pass. part. n. of خَضْرَمَ]. You say نَاقَةٌ مُخَضْرَمَةٌ A she-camel having the extremity of her ear cut. (S, K.) And أُذُنٌ مُخَضْرَمَةٌ An ear cut.

(TA.) ― -b3- Also A black man whose father is white. (IKh, K. *) ― -b4- And Deficient in respect of الحَسَب; (K;) meaning not of generous parentage. (TA.) ― -b5- And One whose origin is suspected; or who claims for his father one who is not: (K:) and so مُخَضْرَمُ النَّسَبِ: (S, TA:) or مُخَضْرَمٌ فِى نَسَبِهِ means of mixed parentage. (TA.) One whose father is unknown: [or, app., accord. to the TA, whose parents are unknown:] or one sprung from [a succession of] concubines. (K.) ― -b6- Uncircumcised. (K.)
