خَامَةٌ خذامه خذامة belongs to the present art., and J has erred, (K,) in mentioning it in art. خوم: (TA:) [but why this is said, I know not; nor do the commentators on this passage, as is observed in the TA, give any explanation of it worthy of notice:] it signifies A fresh, or juicy, plant: (S, Msb: both in art. خوم:) or an ear of corn: (IAar, TA:) or a shoot of seed-produce when it first grows forth upon a single stalk: (JK:) or خَامَةُ الزَّرْع signifies what grows forth, of seedproduce, upon a single stalk: (M, K: *) or the fresh, or juicy, bunch thereof: or the fresh, or juicy, plant thereof: (M, K:) pl. خَامَاتٌ (Msb) and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ خَامٌ . (Msb, TA.) It is said in a trad., مَثَلُ المُؤْمِنِ مَثَلُ الخَامَةِ مِنَ الزَّرْعِ تُمِيلُهَا الرِّيحُ مَرَّةً هٰكَذَا وَمَرَّةً هٰكَذَا [The similitude of the believer is that of the fresh, or juicy, plant of seed-produce, &c., which the wind bends, at one time thus, and at one time thus]: (S, TA: *) but Fr related it differently, saying الحافة, [app. a mistranscription for الخَافَة, which see in art. خوف,] and explained this as meaning “ the bunch ” of seed-produce.
