غُنْمٌ ذ : see غَنِيمَةٌ, in three places. ― -b2- It signifies also [The regaining (as is shown by an explanation of A 'Obeyd cited in the first paragraph of art. غلق), and] the increase, and growth, and excess in value, of a pledge. (O in art. غلق, and TA in the present art.) Thus in a trad., in which it is said, الرَّهْنُ لِمَنْ رَهَنَهُ لَهُ غُنْمُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ غُرْمُهُ [The pledge pertains to him who pledged it; to him pertains the regaining of it, and its increase, and growth, and excess in value, if such there be, and upon him lies the obligation to pay the debt for it, without requiring any abatement thereof if the pledge have unavoidably suffered damage or total loss: see the explanation of A 'Obeyd mentioned above]. (TA.) الغُنْمُ بِالغُرْمِ means The غُنْم is compensated (مُقَابَلٌ) by the غُرْم [i. e. the regaining of the pledge, with the increase and the growth and the excess in value thereof if such there be, is compensated by the payment of the debt for it]; for like as the owner [of the pledge] is exclusively entitled to the غُنْم, no one sharing it with him, so he bears the غُرْم, no one bearing it with him: and this is the meaning of their saying, الغُرْمُ مَجْبُورٌ بِالغُنْمِ [which may therefore be rendered The loss suffered by the payment of the debt is repaired by the regaining of the pledge; app. a phrase of the lawyers, implying that such is to be considered as the case whatever be the state of the pledge at the time of its being restored unless it have suffered damage through the fault of the pledgee]. (Msb.) [See more in the first paragraph of art. غلق.] ― -b3- See also غُنَامَاكَ. -A2- غنم [app. غُنْمٌ] is mentioned by Suh as the name of A certain idol. (TA.)
