قصبة، والجمع قصبات: خرزات مستطيلة أسطوانية الشكل للقلادة، كما رأى لين أن يترجم بهذا عبارة ألف ليلة (1: 576): وفي رقبته طوق من الذهب الأحمر وثلث قصبات من الزبرجد وهذا المعنى جاء في محيط المحيط ففيه: والقصب ما كان مستطيلا من الجوهر. ويقول السيد دي غويه يجب ان نضيف إلى هذا إنها مجوفة. ففي الفائق (2: 347): قال صاحب العين القصب من الجوهر ما استطال منه في تجويف وفيه أيضا أن النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) فسره ببيت من لؤلؤ مجباة أي المجوفة. وكذلك ما نقله صاحب تاج العروس عن ابن الأثير.
وعند بعضهم: القصب انابيب من جوهر. وقصب أيضا: شرابه بشكل أنبوب، يقال مثلا: شاش بقصبات زركش (الملابس ص332).

قصب عراق: ذكر مع ما يؤكل بعد الطعام في ألف ليلة (برسل 1: 149) ويرى السيد دي غويه إنه قصب السكر لأن في مخطوطة المتحف البريطاني لأبي القاسم بين أسماء ما يأكله أغنياء بغداد بعد الطعام قصب السكر المقطع المغسول بماء الورد.
قصبة: عاصمة الإقليم وحاضرته. (أماري ص24 ص12، ص144) وقد فسرت بكرسي الكورة. (ابن خلكان 1: 602).
قصبي. الشبوب المريش والقصبى: الشب بشكل الريش وبشكل الأنابيب. (البكري ص15).
قصبية: في ألف ليلة (برسل 1: 149): إلى أن جاءت إلى الحلواني فاشترت منه قصبية طبق من جميع ما عنده. وأرى أن كلمة طبق تفسير وشرح لكلمة قصبية. (وفي ماكن (1: 56) طبقا فقط) وإن قصبية هذه معناها سلة أو قفة من الاسل.
قصبجي: ساحب خيوط الذهب، وهو الذي يطرق الذهب والفضة ويحصل منهما أسلاكا. (بوشر) وفي مملوط (2، 2: 75): (العمال الذين يعملون أسلاك الذهب والفضة وهم القصبجية من الأقباط وهم يزركشون بهذه الأسلاك الحرير الأصفر والأبيض بعد أن يكونوا قد قطعوا هذه الأسلاك قطعا صغيرة).
قصابة: أنبوب معقوف. (بوشر).
قصابة: حين يفسر الجوهري هذه الكلمة بصناعة القصاب، فيجب فيما أرى أن لا تؤخذ كلمة قصاب بمعنى الزمار وهو النافخ بالمزمار، بل بمعنى الجزار ولذلك يجب أن لا تترجم بما معناه صناعة المزمار كما ترجمها فريتاج، بل بما معناه مهنة الجزار، وبهذا المعنى وجدت قصابة عند المقري (2: 525، باين سميث 1424).
غير أن صاحب تاج العروس يرى أن تفسير القصاب بالمزمار وهو النافخ في القصب صحيح فهو يقول: والقصاب الزمار وهو النافخ في القصب والقصاب الجزار وحرفة الأخير القصابة، وكلام الجوهري يقتضي أن هذا التصريف في الزمر أيضا.
وأري أن صاحب التاج إنما يستنتج ذلك استنتاجا ولا يذكر له مثالا.
قصيبة: شوفان، خرطال، هرطمان. (باجني مخطوطات).
قصاب: حامل قصبة المساحة (مساح). (صفة مصر 11).
مقصب: قصباء موضع مزروع بالقصب (بوشر).

مقصب (اسم): ضفيرة ذهبية. شريطة مزركشة بأسلاك الذهب. (بوشر، مملوك 1: 1، معجم الأسبانية (ص168).
مقصبة، والجمع مقاصب: موضع القصب ومنبته وموضع كثير القصب. (محيط المحيط، فوك، الكالا).
مقصبة: زراعة قصب السكر. ففي ابن العوام (1: 392): ويبيت فيها الغنم حتى يصير زبلها أرض المقصبة (وهذا ما جاء في مخطوطتنا).

(O, TA. [See also مُقَصِّبٌ.]) b3: [The ↓ قَصَبَة here mentioned as A certain measure of length, used in measuring race-courses, was also used in other cases, in measuring land, and differed in different countries and in different times: accord. to some, it was ten cubits; thus nearly agreeing with our “ rod: ” (see جَرِيبٌ:) accord. to others, six cubits and a third of a cubit: (see فَدَّانٌ:) the modern Egyptian قَصَبَة, until it was reduced some years ago, was about twelve English feet and a half; its twentyfourth part, called قَبْضَةٌ, being the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect, or about six inches and a quarter.] b4: القَصَبُ الفَارِسِىُّ [The Persian reed] is a kind whereof writing-reeds are made: (Mgh, Msb:) and another kind thereof is hard and thick; and of this kind are made musical reeds, or pipes; and with it houses, or chambers, are roofed.
