1 شَنِبَ, aor. ـَ (K,) inf. n. شَنَبٌ, (TA,) He had the quality termed شَنَبٌ meaning as expl. below. (K.) b2: And It (a day) was, or became, cool, or cold. (A, K.) شَنَبٌ Lustre, and fineness, or delicacy, or thinness, and coolness, and sweetness, in the teeth: (A, K:) or lustre, and fineness, or delicacy, or thinness, in the fore teeth: (TA:) or these two qualities, together with coolness and sweetness, in the mouth, accord. to As, or in the teeth: (TA:) or coolness and sweetness in the teeth: or sharpness of the teeth: (S:) or sharpness of the canine teeth, like غَرْبٌ, so that they appear like a saw: (K:) or white specks in the teeth: (A, K:) or the state of the teeth when they appear somewhat tinged with blackness, like the appearance of blackness in hail; غُرُوبٌ signifying the “ lustre ” of the teeth; and ظَلْمٌ, their “ whiteness that is as though there were over it a blackness: ” (ISh, TA:) Abu-l-'Abbás says, It is variously expl., as a serrated state of the teeth: and their clearness and cleanness: and their being separate, or apart, one from another: and the sweetness of their odour: (TA:) El-Jarmee says, I heard As say that this word signifies coolness of the mouth and teeth; and I said, Our companions say that it is their sharpness when they come forth; by which is meant their new, or recent, and fresh state; for when they have undergone the lapse of years, they become abraded, or worn: but he said, It is nothing but their coolness: and the saying of Dhu-r-Rummeh, وَفِى اللِّثَاتِ وَفِى أَنْيَابِهَا شَنَبُ [which should be rendered And in the gums, and in her canine teeth, is coolness], corroborates the assertion of As; for there is no sharpness in the gum: (S, L, TA:) it is also related of As that he said, I asked Ru-beh respecting the meaning of شَنَبٌ, and he took a grain of pomegranate, and pointed to its lustre: (Mz, TA:) [and ↓ شُنْبَــةٌ signifies the same:] a poet says, مُنَصَّبُهَا حَمْشٌ أَحَمُّ يَزِينُهُ عَوَارِضُ فِيهَا شُنْبَــةٌ وَغُرُوبُ

[Her even set of front teeth are slender and white, side teeth in which are coolness and lustre adorning them]. (O, TA.) b2: [In the present day, it signifies The mustache.]

(S, A, Msb, K.) The [marks termed] أَثْر of the blade of a sword are likened by a poet, (S, TA,) namely, Sá'ideh Ibn-Ju-eiyeh, (TA,) to the tracks of شِبْثَان. (S, TA.) رَجُلٌ شَبِثٌ A man whose nature it is to cling, catch, cleave, or adhere, to a thing. (S, K.) and ضِرْسٌ ضَبِثٌ شَبِثٌ [A tooth, or molar tooth,] that catches, or fastens, to a thing.
