شبو

1 شَبَا, (K,) [aor. ـُ inf. n. شَبْوٌ, (TA,) It was or became, high, elevated, or lofty. (K. [See also 4, first sentence.]) b2: شَبَتِ الفَرَسُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) The mare stood upon her hind legs. (K.) [It is added in the TA that the vulgar say شبّت: but see art. شب, where a similar meaning is assigned to شَبَّ said of a horse.] b3: شَبَا وَجْهُهُ His face shone after having become altered. (K.) A2: شَبَا النَّارَ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He kindled the fire; or made it to burn, burn up, burn brightly or fiercely, blaze, or flame; (K;) as also شَبَّهَا. (TA.) 4 أَشْبَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ, (S,) or اشبى الشَّجَرُ, (K,) inf. n. إِشْبَآءٌ, (TA,) The tree, (S,) or the trees, (K,) became tall, (S, K, TA,) and tangled and dense, by reason of luxuriance (K, TA) and sappiness. (TA.) b2: اشبى said of a man, He begat a boy [sharp] like the point of iron (كَشَبَا الحَدِيدِ): (Yz, TA:) or he had a son born to him sharp in intellect: (S, K, TA:) or he begat generous, or noble, children, by whom he had sharp means of attack and defence, like the points of spear-heads. (Ham p. 384.) A2: أَشْبَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ i. q. وَجَدْتُ لَهُ

↓ شَبَاةً [app. meaning I found the man to have sharpness]. (Ham p. 385.) b2: And اشباهُ He exalted him, syn. رَفَعَهُ, (S,) and honoured him; namely, a man. (S, K.) b3: And He cast him into a well, or into an evil, or a hateful, plight: thus having two contr. meanings. (K.) A3: اشبى is also syn. with دَفَعَ [He impelled, pushed, thrust, &c.]. (K. [But perhaps this is a mistake for رَفَعَ, a syn. of اشبى mentioned before: if not, it may be from شَبَاةً signifying the “ point ” of anything.]) A4: And i. q. أَعْطَى [He gave]. (K. [In this sense, accord. to the TK, trans. without a prep.; which I think doubtful.]) b2: And i. q. أَشْبَلَ, (K,) meaning أَشْفَقَ [i. e. He was, or became, favourably inclined; &c.]. (TA. [In this sense, also, both اشبى and اشبل, accord. to the TK, are trans. without a prep.; but this I think a mistake with respect to both of these verbs, the latter of which is well known to be trans. only by means of عَلَى.]) A5: [And i. q. أَشْبَهَ.] One says, اشبى فُلَانًا وَلَدُهُ, (S,) or اشبى زَيْدًا أَوْلَادُهُ, (K,) His children resembled such a one, or, Zeyd; syn. أَشْبَهُوهُ.

(TA.) شَبَاةٌ The point (S, K) of the extremity (S) of anything: (S, K:) pl. ↓ شَبًا [or rather this is a coll. gen. n.] and [the pl. properly so termed is]

شَبَوَاتٌ. (S, K. *) b2: And The sting of the scorpion; (K;) [and] so ↓ شَبًا [mentioned above as having a pl. meaning].
