قَمْحٌ ذ Wheat, syn. بُرٌّ, (S, A, Mgh, L, Msb, K,) and حِنْطَةٌ, and طَعَامٌ, (Msb,) when the farinaceous substance pervades the ears, or from the time when it has attained its full growth to the time when it has become compact: (L:) [and the grain of wheat; as also بُرٌّ and حِنْطَةٌ and طَعَامٌ:] a word of the dial. of Syria. and sometimes used by the people of El-Hijáz; or, as some say, a Coptic word; but the former assertion is the more correct: (TA:) the word بُرٌّ is more chaste: (S in art. بر:) ↓ قَمْحَةٌ signifies a single grain thereof. (Msb.) ― -b2- جَرَى القَمْحُ فِى السُّنْبُلِ means The farinaceous substance pervaded the ears [of wheat]. (L.)
