accord. to one reading, it is ↓ جَدْبَبَّا, with a doubled ب added; the change being made for the sake of the metre. (
M,
TA. [Respecting أَخْصَبَّا, see 4 in art. خصب.])

A,) of which the
pl. is مَجَادِيبُ. (
A.) You say also أَرْضٌ جَدْبٌ [in which جدب is an
inf. n. (though
app. obsolete as such) and therefore applicable to a

K,) as though to each part were applied the term جَدْبٌ [used as a
subst.] from which is formed the
pl. جُدُوبٌ, (
TA,) and جَدْبٌ, (
K,) which is here an
inf. n. used as an
epithet [and therefore applicable to a

Er-Rághib,
MF.) أَرْضٌ جَدِبَةٌ: see جَدْبٌ.
أَخَذَ فِى وَادِى جَدَبَاتٍ: see جَذَبَات, in art. جذب.
جِدَبٌّ and جَدْبَبٌّ: see جَدْبٌ.
جَدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.
جَدِيبٌ: see جَدْبٌ, in three places.
جَادِبٌ Finding fault, dispraising, expressing disapprobation: whence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh, فَيَا لَكَ مِنْ خَدٍّ أَسِيلٍ و مَنْطِقٍ
رَخِيمٍ وَمِنْ خَلْقٍ تَعَلَّلَ جَادِبُهْ meaning [O thou smooth and even cheek, and gentle speech, and make] whereof he who dispraises it occupies himself vainly, finding no defect in it. (
S,
TA.)
b2: It is also said [as in the
K &c.] to signify Lying; and the author of the 'Eyn says that it has no verb belonging to it [in this sense]; but this is a mistranscription [for خَادِبٌ]:
Az says that جَادِبٌ, with ج, has the signification here first given. (
M,
TA.)
جُنْدَــبٌ and
جُنْدُــبٌ (
S,
K, &c.) and
جِنْدَــبٌ, like دِرْهَمٌ, (
Sb,
M,
K,) the last of which is of weakest authority, because of a rare measure, whereof it has been said that there are only four examples: (
TA:) in all of them the ن is said by some to be radical; but others, with more reason, hold it to be augmentative: (
MF:)
Sb says that it is augmentative: (
S:) A species of locust, (
S,
K,) well known: (
K:) or the male locust: or small locust: or,
accord. to
Seer,
i. q. صَدًى [a kind of cricket], that creaks by night, and hops and flies: [but see صَدًى:] or,
accord. to the
M, it is smaller than the صدى, and is found in the deserts:
pl. جَنَادِبُ. (
TA.) صرّ الـ
ـجندب [i. e. صَرَّ الـ
ـجُنْدَــبُ The
جندب creaked] is a saying of the Arabs, used as a proverb; alluding to a difficult affair by which a person is troubled in mind; originating from the fact that the
جندب, when its feet are scorched by the heated ground, does not keep them steadily upon it, and a creaking sound is consequently heard, produced by its legs. (
TA.)
b2: أُمُّ
جُنْدَــبٍ The sand; because the locust [or
جندب] deposits its eggs therein: and the walker therein falls into evil [or encounters difficulty]. (
TA.)
b3: [Hence it signifies also] Misfortune: (
S,
M,
K:) and perfidy, or faithlessness, or treachery: (
M,
K:) and wrong, or injury: (
S,
M,
K:) and evil conduct, or ill treatment. (
S.) You say, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى
أُمِّ
جُنْدَــبٍ Such a one fell into misfortune: or into perfidy. (
TA.) And وَقَعُوا فِى أُمِّ
جُنْدَــبٍ
They suffered wrong, or injury. (
Az,
S,
K.) And وَقَعَ القَوْمُ
جُنْدَــبٍ The people, or company of men, committed wrong, or injury, and slew him who was not a slayer: (
TA:) [as though they came with violence upon sand in which eggs of the
جندب were deposited, and so destroyed the eggs, which had occasioned them no harm.] And رَكِبَ أُمَّ
جُنْدَــبٍ He committed wrong, or injury. (
TA.) أَجْدَبُ
i. q. جَدْبٌ as
syn. with جَدِيبٌ: fem.
جَدْيَآءُ. Hence,] فَلَاةٌ جَدْيَآءُ: see جَدْبٌ.
b2: [Hence also,] سَنَةٌ جَدْبَآءُ A year of much snow. (
L in art. شهب.)
b3: أَجْدَبُ is [also] said in the
M to be [used as] a
subst. applied to what is termed مُجْدِب [i. e. as
syn. with the latter word used as an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant;
app. meaning A place, or the like, affected with drought, &c.]. (
TA.)
b4: [Also, as a comparative and superlative
epithet, meaning More, and most, affected with drought, &c.;
contr. of أَخْصَبُ.]
أَجَادِبُ, in a
trad., where it is said, وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ
أَجَادِبُ أَمْسَكَتِ المَآءِ, (
K, *
TA,) or وكانت فِيهَا, (
TA,) [And there were in it اجادب that retained the water], is said to be
pl. of أَجْدُبٌ, which is
pl. of ↓ جَدْبٌ, (
K,
TA,) like as أَكَالِبُ is
pl. of أَكْلُبٌ, which is
pl. of كَلْبٌ; (
TA;) and signifies hard parts of the ground, that retain water, and do not imbibe it quickly; or, as some say, land having no plants or herbage, from ↓ جَدْبٌ meaning “ drought ” &c: the word is thus written in the two Saheehs, of El-Bukháree and Muslim: (
IAth,
TA:) but some say that it is an
anomalous pl. of جَدْبٌ, like as مَحَاسِنُ is of حُسْنٌ: and there are other readings; namely, أَجَاذِبُ and أَحَادِبُ and أَحَازِبُ and أَجَارِدُ,
pl. of أَجْرَدُ, and إِخَاذَاتٌ,
pl. of إِخَاذَةٌ. (
MF,
TA.) مُجْدِبٌ, and its
fem., with ة: see جَدْبٌ.
مِجْدَابٌ Land scarely ever, or never, abundant in herbage, or in the goods, conveniences, or comforts, of life; scarcely ever, or never, fruitful, or plentiful. (
K.) مَجْدُوبٌ: see جَدْبٌ.
