aor. ـْ
inf. n. حُبُــوٌّ, (
K,) He, or it (a thing,
Msb,
TA), was, or became, or drew, near. (

حَبَــوْتُ لِلْخَمْسِينَ I was, or became, or drew, near to fifty [years]; (
S,
ISd,
TA;) [as also
حبــوت الخَمْسِينَ; for]

inf. n. حَبْــوٌ, The sands rose up, extending sideways (مُعْتَرِضًا): (

As,
S,
K;) as also ↓

K.)
J cites as an
ex. of the former verb, from a poem of Ibn-Ahmar, the phrase لَمْ يَـ

accord. to
AHn, it means did not regard them; being occupied with himself. (

ـحْبُــو قَصَاهُمْ and يَحُوطُ قَصَاهُمْ [Such a one fights in their defence; or defends them in a distant quarter: but generally meant ironically: see 1 in art. حوط]: both signify the same. (Abu-l-'Abbás,

ـحَبَّــوَ see what next follows.
8 احتبى He drew together and confined his back and his shanks (

Mgh,
Msb, and
Har ubi suprà,) when sitting, to be like him who is leaning [his back against a wall]: (
Har ubi suprà:) he drew his legs against his belly with a garment, or piece of cloth, confining them therewith, together with his back, and binding it, or making it tight, upon them, so as to preserve him from falling, [when he sat,] like a wall: (

ـحبّــى signifies the same: (
TA:) or احتبى بِالثَّوْبِ he inwrapped himself with the garment: or he drew together and confined his back and his shanks with a turban or the like: (
K:) for the Arabs not having walls in their deserts to lean against in their assembling, the man used to set up his knees in his sitting, and put against them a sword, or surround them [and his back] with a piece of cloth, or knit his hands, or arms, together upon them, and rest against them; this standing him in stead of leaning. (
Har ubi suprà.) The doing this in one garment is forbidden, in a
trad., lest, by accident, what decency requires to be concealed should become exposed. (
IAth,
TA.) You say also, احتبى بِيَدَيْهِ [He confined his legs against his belly with his hands, or arms, in sitting, to support himself by so doing]. (
S,
Msb. *) [See also قُرْفُصَآءُ.] الاِحْتِبَآءُ with the sword is practised on the occasions of making a covenant for mutual protection, or war, or appointing a chief, and the like; because the sword may be wanted in these cases. (
Ham p. 711.)
حَبًــا: see

Har p. 179:)
pl. حُبًــى (Yaakoob,

حِبًــى. (Yaakoob,
S,
TA.) [See an
ex. from a
trad. voce نَمِرَةٌ: and see also a verse of El-Farezdak cited
voce حَلَّ.] Hence, حَلَّ
حُبْــوَتَهُ and عَقَدَ
حُبْــوَتَهُ mean (assumed
tropical:) He rose, or stood up, and (assumed
tropical:) He sat. (
Har p. 179. The former phrase is also mentioned in the

trad. of ElAhnaf (when he was asked in a time of war, “ When is forbearance? ”), ↓ عِنْدِ الـ
ـحُبَــآءِ [On the occasion of اِحْتِبَآء]; meaning that forbearance is to be approved in peace, not in war. (
TA.) الـ
ـحبــوة on Friday, when the Imám is reciting the khutbeh, is forbidden; because الاِحْتِبَآء induces sleep, and exposes the purity of the worshipper to be annulled. (

trad., إِنَّ حَابِيًا خَيْرٌ مِنْ زَاهِقٍ, i. e. An arrow such as is termed حَابٍ, though weak, having hit the butt, is better than one that goes beyond the butt by its vehemence of passage, and its force, not having hit it: meaning, by the two arrows, one who attains the truth, or right, or a part thereof, though weak; and another who goes beyond it, and far from it, though strong.
