غَتْمٌ ذ Intense heat that almost takes away the breath. (S, K.) A rájiz says, (S,) namely, Mes'ood Ibn-Keyd [?] El-Fezáree, (TA,) describing camels, (S in art. فل,) “ حَرَّقَهَا حَمْضُ بِلَادِ فِلِّ
وَغَتْمُ نَجْمٍ غَيْرِ مُسْتَقِلِّ
” [The pasturage termed حمض of tracts of country not rained upon and not having fresh herbage rendered them thirsty, and the intense and almostsuffocating heat of a star not high (above the horizon), i. e. not having become high so as to be concealed by the rays of the sun]; i. e. [a star] not high (غَيْرِ مُرْتَفِعٍ) because of the constancy of the heat attributed to it [at the time of its auroral rising]; the heat becoming intense only at the time of the [auroral] rising of الشِّعْرَى, [meaning Sirius, the star to which allusion is here made,] which is in [correctly after] الجَوْزَآء. (S. [See الشِّعْرَى.]) ― -b2- See also 8.
