رموش
The Arabic word for lashes is رموش.
Did you know?
- The root of the word is connected to the idea of 'flicking' or 'blinking', suggesting a rhythmic movement rather than just the physical structure.
- In Arabic poetry and literature, the word رموش is often used as a metaphor for protection or a veil, suggesting that long lashes shield the heart from the intensity of a gaze.
- The singular form رمش is sometimes used in regional dialects to describe a quick blink or a momentary flash of light, rather than just the hair itself.
Examples in context
- رموشها طويلة وجميلة.rumushaha tawila wa jamila.Her lashes are long and beautiful.

- هل تضعين ماسكارا على رموشك؟hal taḍa‘īna mās̱kārā ‘alā rumūshiki?Do you put mascara on your lashes?
