(Msb. [It is there added that this noun is like مُدْيَة in measure: otherwise I should think that the right reading is لِلْغُمِّيَّة, which has been mentioned voce غَمٌّ.]) غَمًى and ↓ غِمَآءٌ (T, S, K) The roof of a house, or chamber: (T, K:) or the covering of the roof, (S, K,) consisting of earth &c., (K,) or consisting of reeds, or canes, and earth, and the like; (S;) and غَمًا also signifies [the same, or] the covering of a house, or chamber, consisting of clay, or earth, and wood: (TA in art. غمو:) the dual [of the first and last] is غَمَيَانِ and غَمَوَانِ: and the pl. is أَغْمَآءٌ, (K, TA,) which is [of the same] like أَنْقَآءٌ pl. of نَقًى [and نَقًا], (TA,) and أَغْمِيَةٌ, (K, TA,) which is of ↓ غِمَآءٌ.
