Glancing; flashing or gleaming
In Turkish: göz atan; parıldayan
Lamih may derive from an Arabic word linking a glance with a brief flash or gleam. On that reading, its imagery concerns a momentary appearance rather than a steady source of light. Its resemblance to Lami can be misleading, since the two forms belong to different Arabic roots.
