رَنْمَةٌ ذ , (M, and so in copies of the K.) thus it seems to be accord. to [a rule observed in] the K, but accord. to Z it seems to be ↓ رَنَمَةٌ , (TA, and thus it is written in the CK,) and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةٌ , (M, and so in the K accord. to the TA,) or ↓ تَرْنَمُوتٌ , (S, [and so in my MS. copy of the K,]) or this last also, (M,) or ↓ تَرْنُومَةٌ or تُرْنُومَةٌ, (accord. to other copies of the K,) i. q. تَرَنُّمٌ [i. e. A trilling, or quavering, &c.: see 5]. (S, M, K.) Thus in the phrases, سَمِعَ رَنْمَةً حَسَنَةً and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةً [He heard a good, or pleasing, trilling, &c.]: (M:) and لَهُ رَنْمَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ or ↓ رَنَمَةٌ and ↓ تَرْنَمُوتَةٌ &c. (accord. to different copies of the K) [i. e. He, or it, has a good, or pleasing, trilling, &c.]. ↓ تَرْنَمُوتٌ is formed by the addition of و and ت, like as is مَلَكُوتٌ: (S:) it is said to be the only instance in which ت is added at the beginning and end of a word: (MF:) and it is used in relation to a bow [as meaning A musical ringing sound on the occasion of twanging]. (S, M.) [↓ رَنِيمٌ , also, said in the TK to be an inf. n. of رَنِمَ, and in the M and K to be syn. with تَرْنِيمٌ, is used in a similar manner:] you say, سَمِعْتُ لَهُ رَنِيمًا [I heard him to have a trilling, or quavering, sound proceeding from him; or I heard it to have a musical ringing sound proceeding from it]; taken from the تَرَنُّم of the bird in its cooing. (Msb.)
