دَامِغَةٌ دامغ دامغه دامغة A wound in the head, reaching the دِمَاغ [or brain]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) with which there is no living: (Msb:) it is the last [in degree] of [the wounds termed] شِجَاج [pl. of شَجَّةٌ]; these being ten, as follows: [1] قَاشِرَةٌ, also called حَارِصَةٌ (S, K, TA) and حَرْصَةٌ, or, as some think, the حارصة or حرصة is different from the قاشرة: (TA:) [2] بَاضِعَةٌ: [3] دَامِيَةٌ: [4] مُتَلَاحِمَةٌ: [5] سِمْحَاقٌ: [6] مُوضِحَةٌ: [7] هَاشِمَةٌ: [8] مُنَقَّلَةٌ: [9] آمَّةٌ, (S, K, TA,) also termed مَأْمُومَةٌ: (TA:) [10] دَامِغَةٌ: (S, K, TA:) and A'Obeyd adds دَامِعَةٌ, with the unpointed ع, after دَامِيَةٌ; (S;) or, accord. to F, who pronounces J to have erred in saying thus, before دامية: but J is right in this case. (TA.) [See شَجَّةٌ دَامِعَةٌ, voce دَامِعٌ. Several other terms are mentioned in the TA; but these, which will be found in their proper arts., appear to be all syn. with some that are mentioned above. See also شَجَّةٌ.] ― -b2- Also A spadix (طَلْعَةٌ) that comes forth from amid the broken portions of the قُلْب [or heart of the palm-tree], long and hard, and, if left, mars the palm-tree; (S, K, * TA;) wherefore, when its existence is known, it is detached. (TA.) ― -b3- And An iron above the مُؤَخَّرَة [or hinder part] of the [camel's saddle called] رَحْل; (As, K;) also called غَاشِيَةٌ: (TA:) or an iron with which the back of the رحْل is fastened: (JK:) the pl. is دَوَامِغُ: ISh says that the دوامغ are above the middle of the heads, or upper extremities, of the [curved pieces of wood called] أَحْنَآء [pl. of حِنْوٌ]; and sometimes they are of wood, firmly bound; and i. q. خَذَارِيفُ, pl. of خُذْرُوفٌ [q. v.]: [but] Az says that when the دامغة is of iron, it is placed across, or athwart, above the two extremities of the حِنْوَانِ, and nailed with two nails, the خذاريف being fastened upon the heads of the cross-pieces, in order that it, or they, may not become disconnected. (TA.) [What it is, I am unable further to explain. It is perhaps thus called because so placed that a person is liable to have his head wounded by it.] ― -b4- And A piece of wood placed across between two poles, upon which is hung the skin for water or milk. (JK, Ibn-'Abbád, K.)
