ـرْكُــبُوكَ [Knowest thou not El-Azd, (the tribe so called,) and their striking with the knee? Beware thou of El-Azd, lest they take thee, and strike thee with their knees]: for this practice was notorious among El-Azd; in the

رَكْــبٌ: see رَاكِبٌ, in three places.
رَكَــبٌ The عَانَة: (
ISk,
Msb,
K:) or the place of growth of the عَانَة, (
S,
K,) or of the hair of the عَانَة: (
Mgh:) [i. e. it signifies the pubes; either as meaning the hair of the mons Veneris, or the mons Veneris itself: generally the latter; and this is often meant by the term عانة alone:] or the part that slopes down from the belly, and is beneath the ثُنَّة [
q. v.] and above the pudendum: in all these senses said by
Lh to be
masc.: (
TA:) or the pudendum (
Az,
Msb,
K) itself: (
TA:) or the external portion thereof: (
K:) or the
رَكَــبَانِ are the roots of the two thighs, upon which is the flesh of the pudendum, (
K,
TA,) or upon which are the two portions of flesh of the pudendum: (
TA:) the
ركــب is
masc.: (
Msb:) it is common to the man and the woman, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K, *)
accord. to
Fr: (
S,
Msb:) or peculiar to the woman, (
S,
Mgh,
K,)
accord. to
Kh: (
S:) ElFarezdak makes it plainly common to both, saying, حِينَ التَقَى الـ
ـرَّكَــبُ المَحْلُوقُ بِالـ
ـرَّكَــبِ [When the shaven pubes met the pubes]: (
TA: [and a similar
ex. is given in the
S and
Msb, as cited by
Fr:]) the
pl. is أَـ
ـرْكَــابٌ (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and أَرَاكِيبُ; (
K;) the latter being
pl. of the former; but in some copies of the
K أَرَاكِبُ, like مَسَاجِدُ. (
TA.)
A2: Also Whiteness in the
رُكْــبَة [or knee]. (
TA.)
رَكْــبَةٌ A single ride, or act of riding:
pl. رَكَــبَاتٌ. (
IAth,
L.)
b2: [Hence,] one says, هُوَ يَمْشِى الـ
ـرَّكْــبَةَ (
tropical:) [i. e. يَـ
ـرْكَــبُ رَأْسَهُ He goes at random, heedlessly, or in a headlong manner, &c., (see 1,)] and هُمْ يَمْشُونَ الـ
ـرَّكَــبَاتِ (
tropical:) [They go at random, &c.]. (A. [The meaning is there indicated by the context, and is shown by what here follows.]) Respecting the phrase تمْشُونَ الـ
ـرَّكَــبَاتِ, occurring in a
trad., meaning تَـ
ـرْكَــبُونَ رُؤُوسَكُمْ (assumed
tropical:) [Ye go at random, &c.], in that which is false, wrong, or vain, and in factions, or seditions, or the like, following one another without consideration,
IAth says that
رَكْــبَةٌ [properly] signifies as explained above in the first sentence of this paragraph, and that the
pl. الـ
ـركــبات is here governed in the
accus. case by a verb understood, and [with that verb] is a denotative of state relating to the
agent in تمشون: it supplies the place of that verb, which it does not require to be expressed; and the implied meaning is تَمْشُونَ تَـ
ـرْكَــبُونَ الـ
ـرَّكَــبَاتِ. (
L.)
رُكْــبَةٌ a word of well-known meaning, (
S,
Msb,) [The knee; i. e., in a man,] the joint between the lower parts of the thigh and the upper parts of the shank: (
A,
K:) or [in a quadruped,] the joint between the metacarpus and the radius (مَوْصِلُ الوَظِيفِ وَالذِّرَاعِ): this is the right explanation: in the
K, مَوْضِع is erroneously put for مَوْصِل: [this explanation is evidently given
accord. to the terms employed in the anatomy of quadrupeds as compared to human beings: in that which next follows, there is certainly an omission, which I have endeavoured to supply:] or the
رُكْــبَتَانِ of the fore legs of the camel are the two joints that [project forwards, in like manner as do, in the hind legs, those that] are next the belly [meaning the stifle-joints] when he lies down upon his breast with folded legs: the two joints that project behind [in the hind legs, namely, the hocks,] are called the عُرْقُوبَانِ: in every quadruped, the
ركــبتان are in the fore legs, and the عرقوبان are in the hind legs: and the عرقوب is what is called مَوْصِلُ الوَظِيفِ [i. e. the upper joint of the metatarsus]: (
TA:) or the
ركــبة is the مِرْفَق [which in a man is the elbow, but here seems to mean the lower joint] of the ذِرَاع [or radius] of anything [i. e. of any beast]: (
K:) [from its being said in the
S and
Msb that the
رُكْــبَة is “ well known,” I conclude that there is no real discrepancy in the foregoing explanations: it is perhaps needless to add that the term
رُكْــبَة is now universally applied to the knee of a man and to what we commonly call the knee of a horse and the like:] the
pl. is
رُكَــبٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) i. e. the
pl. of mult., and the
pl. of pauc. is
رُكْــبَاتٌ and
رُكَــبَاتٌ and
رُكُــبَاتٌ. (
S.)
Lh mentions the phrase بَعِيرٌ مُسْتَوْقِحُ الـ
ـرُّكَــبِ [meaning A hardkneed camel]; as though the term
رُكْــبَةٌ were applied to each part, and the
pl. used
accord. to this application. (
TA.)
b2: One says [of an agitating affair or event], أَمْرٌ اصْطَكَّتْ فِيهِ الـ
ـرُّكَــبُ وَحَكَّتْ فِيهِ الـ
ـرُّكْــبَةُ الـ
ـرُّكَــبَةَ (
tropical:) [An affair, or event, in which the knees knocked together, and in which the knee rubbed the knee]. (
A.)
b3: And of one who has the mark of prostration in prayer on his forehead, between his eyes, (
L,) بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ مِثْلُ
رُكْــبَةِ العَنْزِ [Between his eyes is the like of the knee of the she-goat]. (
A, *
L.) And of any two things that are alike, or correspondent, هُمَا كَـ
ـرُكْــبَتَى العَنْزِ [They are like the two knees of the she-goat]; because her two knees fall together upon the ground when she lies down. (
L.)
b4: And it is said in a
prov., شَرُّ النَّاسِ مَنْ مِلْحُهُ عَلَى
رُكــعبَتِهِ [The worst of men is he whose fat is upon his knee]: applied to him who is quickly angered; and to the perfidious: (
Meyd,
TA:) the phrase مِلْحُهُ عَلَى
رُكْــبَتِهِ is also used as meaning The smallest thing makes him angry: (
TA:) and a poet says, لَا تَلُمْهَا إِنَّهَا مِنْ عُصْبَةٍ
مِلْحُهَا مَوْضُوعَةٌ فَوْقَ الـ
ـرُّكَــبْ [Blame her not; for she is of a set of people whose fat is placed above the knees: perhaps meaning, for she is but a woman; as women are generally fat in the part above the knee]: (
TA:) or مِنْ نِسْوَةٍ [in the place of مِنْ عُصْبَةٍ], meaning of women whose object of anxiety, or care, is fatness and fat: (
Meyd,
TA:) so that the
prov. seems to mean that the worst of men is he who has not such intelligence as bids him to do that which is praiseworthy, but only bids him to do that in which is inconstancy and levity, and an inclining to the dispositions of women, to the love of fatness and fat. (
Meyd.) [See other explanations in art. ملح.]
A2: Also The lower part (أَصْل) of the plant صِلِّيَانَة, when it has been cut. (
K.)
رِكْــبَةٌ A mode, or manner, of riding. (
S.) Yousay, هُوَ حَسَنُ الـ
ـرِّكْــبَةِ He has a good mode, or manner, of riding. (
A, *
TA.)
b2: [It is said in the
K to be a
subst. from
رَكِــبَهُ; as though signifying A riding.]
رَكَــبَةٌ A company of riders upon camels, (
K,) or of owners of camels on a journey, or travellers upon camels, exclusively of other beasts, (
S,) but less in number than the company called
رَكْــبٌ: (
S,
K:) [and probably also a company of riders upon any beasts, but less than what is called
رَكْــبٌ:]
accord. to
MF, it is a
pl. of رَاكِبٌ. (
TA.) [See also أُـ
ـرْكُــوبٌ.]

K,
TA) upon which people journey; (
S,
TA;)
i. q. مَطِىٌّ: (
Msb:) or camels fit for carrying: (
Har p. 22:) it has no proper
sing.: (
S:) the word used for the
sing. is رَاحِلَةٌ: (
S,
Msb,
K:) or, as
ISh says, in the “ Book of Camels,”
رِكَــابٌ and عِيرٌ are applied to camels that go forth for corn (طَعَام) to be brought back upon them, both when they go forth and after they have come back: and the former term is applied also to camels upon which people journey to Mekkeh, on which مَحَامِل are borne: and hired [or other] camels that carry the goods and corn of merchants: but camels are not called عير, though bearing corn, [unless] if hired: [I insert the words “ or other ” and “ unless ” because it is further said,] عير are not those that bring corn for their owners; but these are called
رِكَــابٌ: (
L,
TA:) the
pl. is
رُكُــبٌ, (
S,
K,)
accord. to
A'Obeyd, (
TA,) and
رِكَــابَاتٌ and
رَكَــائِبُ; (
K;) or,
accord. to
IAar,
رُكُــبٌ is not
pl. of
رِكَــابٌ; and others say that it is
pl. of ↓
رَكُــوبٌ, signifying any beast on which one rides, [an
epithet] of the measure فَعُولٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; (
TA;) but called by
ISd a
subst.; (
TA voce جَزُوزٌ;) and ↓
رَكُــوبَةٌ is a more special term than
رَكُــوبٌ. (
TA in the present art.)
b2: [Hence,]
رِكَــابُ السَّحَابِ (
tropical:) [The bearers of the clouds; i. e.] the winds. (
A,
K.) Umeiyeh says, تَرَدَّدُ وَالرِّيَاحُ لَهَا
رِكَــابُ [It (referring to a cloud) goes to and fro (تَرَدَّد being for تَتَرَدَّدُ), the winds being its bearers]. (
TA.)

رَكُــوبٌ and ↓
رَكُــوبَةٌ: see
رِكَــابٌ: both signify A beast that is ridden: (
S:) or a she-camel that is ridden: (
K:) or the latter has this meaning: and is metaphorically applied to anything ridden: (
Msb:) or the former signifies any beast that is ridden: and the latter is a name for everything that is ridden; applied to one, and to a
pl. number: (

رَكُــوبٌ has this last signification,
accord. to

pl. is
رُكُــبٌ: (
TA:) the
pl. of
رَكُــوبَةٌ being
رَكَــائِبُ: (
TA voce جَزُوزٌ:) and ↓
رَكْــبَانَةٌ signifies [also] a she-camel fit to be ridden; (
S,
TA;) like as حَلْبَانَةٌ signifies fit to be milked: the ا and ن are [said to be] added in order to give intensiveness to the signification: (
TA:) [and all the other epithets mentioned above seem also,
accord. to some, to have an intensive sense: see حَلُوبٌ.] You say, مَا لَهُ
رَكُــوبَةٌ وَلَا حَمُولَةٌ وَلَا حَلُوبَةٌ He has not a she-camel to ride, nor one to carry burdens, nor one to be milked. (

رَكَّــابٌ and ↓
رَكُــوبٌ, applied to a man, (
K,
TA,) the latter on the authority of
Th, (
TA,) signify the same, (
K,
TA,) Who rides much; a great rider: and so
رَكَّــابَةٌ applied to a woman. (
TA.)
b2: [Hence,]
رَكَّــابٌ لِلْأُمُورِ (assumed
tropical:) A man who surmounts, or masters, affairs; [or who often does so; or accustomed to embark in, or undertake, or to surmount, or master, them; or who often embarks in, or undertakes, them, and therefore surmounts, or masters, them;] by his knowledge, and repeated experience, and good judgment. (
K and
TA in art. طلع.) عَلاهُ الـ
ـرُّكَّــابُ (
tropical:) The nightmare, or incubus, came upon him. (
A.)
رَكَّــابَةٌ: see the latter part of the next paragraph.
رَاكِبٌ Riding; or a rider: (
Mgh,
Msb,
K:) or properly only a rider upon a camel: (
ISk,
S,
K:) or the latter is its meaning when it is not used as a
prefixed noun, as explained below; and is said to be the original signification:
IB says that it may signify a rider upon a camel, ass, horse, or mule, when used as a
prefixed noun; as when you say رِاكِبُ جَمَلٍ and رَاكِبُ حِمَارٍ &c.: (
L:)
accord. to
ISk, you term a rider upon an ass فَارِسٌ عَلَى حِمَارٍ, (
S,
TA,) and a rider upon a mule فَارِسٌ عَلَى بَغْلٍ; (
TA;) but 'Omarah says, I do not call the owner or rider of the ass فارس, but حَمَّارٌ; and the reason of his saying so is manifest, for فارس is an
epithet of the measure فَاعِلٌ from الفَرَسُ “ the horse,” meaning “ an owner, or a rider, of the horse: ” (
S,
TA:) the
pl. is
رُكَّــابٌ (
S,
K) and
رُكْــبَانٌ (
S, *
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and
رُكُــوبٌ (
Mgh,
K) and
رِكَــبَةٌ, (
K,) or this last is a mistake for
رَكَــبَةٌ [
q. v.], (
MF,
TA,) and ↓
رَكْــبٌ, (
Akh,
Msb,
K,
TA,) as some say; (
TA;) or this last is a
quasi-pl. n., (
K,
TA,) not a
broken pl. of رَاكِبٌ; (
TA;) and signifies riders upon camels; (
K;) or owners of camels on a journey, or travellers upon camels; (
S;) consisting of ten or more: (
S,
K:) and sometimes it signifies riders upon horses: (
IB,
K:) or riders upon horses and camels: (
IB,
L,
TA:) or a company of riders upon horses; or upon horses and camels: (
TA:) [or,
accord. to
Kh, riders upon any beasts: (De Sacy's Anthol. Gram. Ar. p. 54 of the Arabic text:)] in the
Kur viii. 43, الـ
ـرَّكْــبُ may signify the riders upon horses, or the riders upon camels, or the army composed of both these: (
TA:) the
pl. of
رَكْــبٌ is أَـ
ـرْكُــبٌ, (
S,
K,) [a
pl. of pauc.,] and
رُكُــوبٌ. (
K.)
Accord. to
IB, you do not say إِبِلٍ ↓
رَكْــبُ nor
رُكْــبَانُ إِبِلٍ: but it is said that
رُكَّــابُ إِبِلٍ and
رُكَّــابُ خَيْلٍ &c. are allowable. (
L.) An instance of
رُكْــبَان as distinguished from فُرْسَان occurs in a verse cited as one of the exs. of the preposition بِ. (
TA.) ↓
رُكَــيْبٌ [properly signifying A small company of riders upon camels, &c.,] occurs as meaning collectors of the poorrates: it is the
dim. of ↓
رَكْــبٌ; and shows that this latter is not a
pl. [properly speaking] of رَاكِبٌ; for, were it so, the word used as its
dim. would be رُوَيْكِبُونَ. (
TA.) [See also
رَكَــبَةٌ, and أُـ
ـرْكُــوبٌ.]
b2: [Also A person on board of a ship or boat:
pl. رُكَّــابٌ.] You say
رُكَّــابُ السَّفِينَةِ (
S,
TA) The persons on board of the ship, or boat: and
رُكَّــابُ المَآءِ the voyagers upon the water: and Ibn-Ahmar has used in this sense the
pl. رُكْــبَانٌ; but it is said that this is not allowable; nor is أُـ
ـرْكُــوبٌ; nor
رَكْــبٌ. (
TA.)
b3: Also, and ↓ رَاكُوبٌ, (assumed
tropical:) A shoot germinating upon the trunk of a palm-tree, not having any root in the ground: (
S:) or a shoot on the upper part of a palm-tree, hanging down, but not reaching the ground; and so ↓ رَاكِبَةٌ and ↓ رَاكُوبَةٌ and ↓
رَكَّــابَةٌ: (
K:) or, as some say, the last of these words is not thus applied, but means a woman “ who rides much: ”
AHn, however, says that it signifies a palm-shoot, or the like thereof, growing forth at the top of the trunk of a palm-tree, and, in some instances, bearing with its mother; but when it is cut off, it is better for the mother: and رَاكِبٌ is also explained in the
L as meaning small palm-trees that grow forth at the lower parts of large palmtrees: (
TA:) or it means a shoot of a palm-tree not cut off from its mother: (
Ham p. 66:)
accord. to
As, when a palm-shoot grows from the trunk, and does not adhere to the ground, it forms a vile kind of palm-tree; and the Arabs call it رَاكِبٌ and ↓ رَاكُوبٌ: the
pl. of this last [and of ↓ رَاكُوبَةٌ] is رَوَاكِيبُ. (
TA.)
b4: رُكْــبَانُ السُّنْبُلِ means (
tropical:) What first appear, or grow forth, from the قُنْبُع, (
A,
K,
TA,) i. e. the envelope of the grain, (
TA,) of the ear of wheat. (
K,
TA.)
b5: رَاكِبٌ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) The head [or summit] of a mountain (جَبَل), as in [most of] the copies of the
K; in some of which is found حَبْل [or rope]. (
TA.) رَاكِبَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.
b2: Also
sing. of رَوَاكِبُ (
TA) which signifies (
tropical:) Streaks [or layers] of fat, (
A,
K,
TA,) overlying one another, (
K,
TA,) in the fore part of a camel's hump: those in the hinder part are called رَوَادِفُ, (
A,
K,
TA,) of which the
sing. is رَادِفَةٌ. (
TA.) رَاكُوبٌ and رَاكُوبَةٌ: see رَاكِبٌ, latter part, in four places.
أَـ
ـرْكَــبُ Large in the
رُكْــبَة [or knee]. (
S,
K.)
b2: A camel having one of his knees larger than the other. (
S,
K.) أُـ
ـرْكُــوبٌ A company of riders upon camels, (
K,) or of owners of camels on a journey, or of travellers upon camels, exclusively of other beasts, (
S,) but more in number than the company called
رَكْــبٌ: (
S,
K:)
pl. أَرَاكِيبُ. (
TA.) [See also
رَكَــبَةٌ.]
مَـ
ـرْكَــبٌ an
inf. n. of
رَكِــبَ. (
A,
K,
TA.)
b2: And also a noun of place [properly signifying A place of riding, &c.]. (
TA.) [Hence, Anything upon which one rides; and upon, or in, which one is borne or carried:] one of the مَرَاكِب of the land; and [more commonly] of the sea: (
S,
K:) [i. e.] a beast [on which one rides]; (
A,
TA;) and a vessel, i. e. a ship or boat: (
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
TA:) a saddle; and any kind of vehicle borne by a camel or other beast: (the lexicons passim:) مَرَاكِبُ is the
pl. (
Mgh,
Msb.) Yousay, نِعْمَ المَـ
ـرْكَــبُ الدَّابَّةُ [Excellent, or most excellent, is the thing upon which one rides, the beast]. (
A.) And جَآءَتْ مَرَاكِبُ اليَمَنِ The vessels, or the ships or boats, of El-Yemen came. (
A.)
b3: [And hence المَـ
ـرْكَــبُ as the name of (assumed
tropical:) The principal star (a) of Pegasus; because in the place of the saddle.]
مُـ
ـرْكِــبٌ A colt that has become fit for being ridden. (
TA.) And دَابَّةٌ مُـ
ـرْكِــبَةٌ A beast that has attained the age at which one may ride him during a warring and plundering expedition. (
TA.) مُـ
ـرَكَّــبٌ A man to whom a horse is lent for a portion of the spoil that he may obtain: (

ـرَكَّــبٌ and ↓
رَكِــيبٌ; and so the arrowhead [fixed] in the shaft: (
S:) or
رَكِــيبٌ signifies, (
K,
TA,) as a

TA,) a thing set (مُـ
ـرَكَّــبٌ) in a thing, such as a ring-stone in the bezel, or collet, of the signet-ring. (
