See also مِحْمَرٌ, in two places.

أَحْمَرُ [Red: and also brown, or the like:] a thing of the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ: (Mṣb, Ḳ:) it is in animals, and in garments, &c.; and, accord. to IAạr, in water [when muddy]: and soيَحْمُورٌ↓: (Ḳ:) fem. of the former حَمْرَآءُ: (Mṣb:) pl. حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ: (Ḳ:) or when it means dyed with the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the pl. is حُمْرٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb) and حُمْرَانٌ; for you say ثِيَابٌ حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ [red garments]: (TA:) but if you apply it as an epithet to a man, [in which case it has other meanings than those explained above, as will be shown in what follows,] the pl. is أَحَامِرُ (Ṣ) and حُمْرٌ: (TA:) or if it means a thing having the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the pl. is أَحَامِرُ, because, in this case, it is a subst., not an epithet. (Mṣb.) أَحْمَرِىٌّ↓ also signifies the same as أَحْمَرُ: (Ḥam p. 379:) or, as some say, it has an intensive sense. (TA voce كَرُوبِيُّونَ.) It is said in the Ṣ, in art. دك, that حَمْرَاوَاتٌ is a pl. of حَمْرَآءُ, like as دَكَّاوَاتٌ, is of دَكَّآءُ; but it is not so. (IB in that art.)

Applied to a man, (AA, Sh, Az,) White (AA, Sh, Az, Ḳ) in complexion; (Az;) because أَبْيَضُ might be considered as of evil omen [implying the meaning of leprosy]: (AA, Sh:) or, accord. to Th, because the latter epithet, applied to a man, was only used by the Arabs as signifying “pure,” or “free from faults:” but they sometimes used this latter epithet in the sense of “white in complexion,” applied to a man, &c.: (IAth:) fem., in the same sense, حَمْرَآءُ: the dim. of which, حُمَيْرَآءُ↓, occurs in a trad., applied to ʼÁïsheh. (Ḳ,* TA.) So, accord. to some, in the trad., بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الأَحْمَرِ وَالأَسْوَدِ, (TA,) i. e. I have been sent to the white and the black; because these two epithets comprise all mankind: (Az, TA:) [therefore, by the former we should understand the white and the red races; and by the latter, the negroes: but some hold that by the former are meant the foreigners, and] by the latter are meant the Arabs. (TA.) One says also, [when speaking of Arabs and more northern races,] أَتَانِى كُلُّ أَسْوَدَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَحْمَرَ, meaning Every Arab of them, and foreigner, came to me: and one should not say, in this sense, أَبْيَضَ. (AA, Aṣ, Ṣ.) الحَمْرَآءُ, also, is applied to The foreigners (العَجَمُ) [collectively]; (Ṣ, A, Ḳ;) because a reddish white is the prevailing hue of their complexion: (Ṣ:) or the Persians and Greeks: or those foreigners mostly characterized by whiteness of complexion; as the Greeks and Persians. (TA.) You say, لَيْسَ فِى الحَمْرَآءِ مِثْلُهُ There is not among the foreigners (العَجَم) the like of him. (A.) And accord. to some, الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ means The Arabs and the foreigners. (TA.) الحَمْرَآءُ [so in the TA, but correctly أَبْنَآءُ الحَمْرَآءِ,] is an appellation applied to Emancipated slaves: and اِبْنُ حَمْرَآءِ العِجَانِ, meaning Son of the female slave, is an appellation used in reviling and blaming.

(IAạr.) Also Wine and [garments of the kind called] بُرُود. (Sh.) And Gold and saffron; (Az, ISd, Ḳ;) said to destroy women; i. e. the love of ornaments and perfumes destroys them: (Az:) or these are called الأَصْفَرَانِ; (AO, TA;) and milk and water, الأَبْيَضَانِ; (TA;) and dates and water, الأَسْوَدَانِ. (A, TA.) And الأَحَامِرَةُ Flesh-meat and wine and [the perfume called] الخَلُوق: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or gold and flesh-meat and wine; as also الأَخَاضِرُ: (TA in art. خضر:) or gold and saffron and الخَلُوق. (ISd, TA.)

سَنَةٌ حَمْرَآءُ ‡ A severe year; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) because it is a mean between the سَوْدَآء and the بَيْضآء: or a year of severe drought; because, in such a year, the tracts of the horizon are red: (TA:) when الجَبْهَةُ [the tenth Mansion of the Moon (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ in art. نزل)] breaks its promise [of bringing rain], the year is such as is thus called. (AḤn.)

See also حَمْرَآءُ voce حَمَارَّةٌ.

Also, (Ṣ, TA,) in the Ḳ, [and in a copy of the A,] مَحَمَّرٌ, which is a mistake, (TA,) A horse got by a stallion of generous, or Arabian, race, out of a mare not of such a race; or not of generous birth; or a jade; syn. هَجِينٌ; (Ṣ, A, Ḳ;) in Persian, پَالَانِىْ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoحَمَّارَةٌ↓: (Ḳ:) or a horse of mean race, that resembles the ass in his slowness of running: and a bad beast: (TA:) pl. مَحَامِرُ (Ṣ, A, TA) and مَحَامِيرُ: (TA:) and accord. to the T, حَمَّارَةٌ↓ signifies [not as it is explained above, as a sing., but] i. q. مَحَامِرُ; and Z explains it as an epithet applied to horses, signifying that run like asses. (TA.)
