Adjective
حَامِل • (ḥāmil) (feminine plural حَوَامِلُ (ḥawāmilu))
- pregnant
- a. 965 CE, Al-Mutanabbi, “لَكِ يَا مَنَازِلُ فِي الْقُلُوبِ مَنَازِلُ”, in ديوان أبي الطيب المتنبي بشرح أبي البقاء العكبري المسمى بالتبيان في شرح الديوان, volume 3, Beirut, Lebanon: Dar Al-Marefah, published 1978 CE, →OCLC, page 257:
- لَوْ بَانَ بِٱلْكَرَمِ ٱلْجَنِينُ بَيَانَهُ / لَدَرَتْ بِهِ ذَكَرٌ أَمُ ٱنْثَى ٱلْحَامِلُ
- law bāna bi-l-karami l-janīnu bayānahu / ladarat bihī ḏakarun ʔamu nṯā l-ḥāmilu
- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
Usage notes
- Due to its semantic constraints, حَامِل (ḥāmil, “pregnant”) is virtually always encountered in the feminine. As with some other gender-specific words, like حائِض (ḥāʔiḍ, “menstruating”), the feminine ending is usually omitted. (The form حامِلة (ḥāmila) is a rarer variant, whence Persian حامله (hâmele) and its descendants.)
- When used as a participle of حَمَلَ (ḥamala), حَامِل (ḥāmil, “carrying”) behaves like a normal participle.
