[of the first] أَسْقَامٌ. (TA.) ↓ سَقَمُ الجُفُونِ means (assumed tropical:) Languidness, and slowness in motion, of the eyelids. (Har p. 113.) سَقَمٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph, in two places. سَقِمٌ ذ : see سَقِيمٌ. سَقَامٌ ذ : see سُقْمٌ. سَقِيمٌ ذ Diseased, disordered, distempered, sick, or ill; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ سَقِمٌ : (TA:) or long diseased &c.: (Msb:) pl. of the former سِقَامٌ, (Msb, K,) like كِرَامٌ pl. of كَرِيمٌ. (Msb.) See also مِسْقَامٌ, and مُسْقِمٌ. The phrase إِِنِي سَقِيمٌ, occurring in the Kur [xxxvii. 87], as a saying of Abraham, is expl. by some as meaning [Verily I am] smitten with the طَاعُون [or pestilence]: or the meaning is, I shall be diseased at a future time, when the period shall have come; and it is said that he inferred, from looking at the stars, the time of a fever's coming to him: or it means (assumed tropical:) verily I am sick of your worshipping what is not God: IAth says that, in truth, it is one of his three lies; all of which were for the sake of God and his religion. (TA.) You say also قَلْبٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [A diseased, a sickly, or an unsound, heart]: and فَهْمٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [Diseased, unsound, faulty, or weak, understanding]: and كَلَامٌ سَقِيمٌ (tropical:) [Unsound, faulty, or weak, language].

(AHn, TA.) [Forskål, in his Flora Aegypt. Arab., p. cxxiv., mentions سقم, which is evidently a mistranscription for سوقم, and which he writes in Italic letters “ sokam, ” as one of the names of the ficus sycomorus; and app. of another species or variety of fig which he terms ficus sycomoroides.] مُسْقِمٌ ذ ↓ رَجُلٌ سَقِيمٌ A man who is diseased and whose family are diseased.
