K in a place where some copies have يَعْزُبُ, occurs in the phrase تعزّب عَنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ [He went away to a distance from his family and his cattle, or camels &c.]. (
TA.) And عَزَبَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels went away to a distance in the pasturage, not returning in the evening: (

tropical:) [He who reads, or recites, the
Kur-án in forty nights] goes to a remote period of time from his commencement; (

b2: لَيْسَ لِفُلَانٍ امْرَأَةٌ تُعَزِّبُهُ, meaning (assumed

b2: Also He passed the night with his camels in the pasturage, not returning in the evening. (

عَزَبٌ [correctly thus, but in the sense here following written in the

syll. signs, and in the O written عِزَّبٌ,] A man who goes away to a distance into the country, or in the land. (
O,
TA.) [And One who goes far away with his camels to pasture:
pl. أَعْزَابٌ. (See also عَزِيبٌ and
عَازِبٌ and مُعْزِبٌ and مِعْزَابَةٌ.)] هِرَاوَةُ الأَعْزَابِ means The staff of those who go far away with their camels to pasture; and a horse is likened thereto, (
S,
O,
TA,) on account of its compactness and smoothness; so in a marginal note in the
L: (
TA:) [
Sgh, however, says,] thus in some of the lexicons, but in my opinion, (
O,) it was the name of a mare which was not to be outstripped, and which was thus called because her owner gave her gratuitously for the use of those of his people who had no wives, who made predatory attacks upon her, and when one of them acquired for himself property and a wife, he resigned her to another of his people: (
O,
K: *) whence the prov.
أَعَزُّ مِنْ هِرَاوَةِ الأَعْزَابِ [More highly esteemed than Hiráwet-el-Aazáb]. (
O.) See an
ex. in a verse cited
voce عَدِيدٌ.
b2: See also
عَازِبٌ.
b3: Also Whatever is alone, solitary, or apart from others. (
TA.)
b4: And (assumed
tropical:) A man having no wife; (
Ks,
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K;) as also ↓
عَازِبٌ, (
Msb, *
TA,) which is the original; (
Msb;) and ↓ عَزِيبٌ, and ↓ مِعْزَابَةٌ [which see below]; (
K;) but not ↓ أَعْزَابُ, (
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K,) this being disallowed by
AHát, (
O,
Msb,) and others; (
TA;) or it is rare; (
K;) but it occurs in a
trad.; (
Mgh, O;) and some allow it: (
O,
Msb:) the
pl. of the first is أَعْزَابٌ, (
O,
K,) or عُزَّابٌ, (
S, *
Msb,) which is thus because the original form of the
sing. is considered as being ↓
عَازِبٌ, this
pl. being like كُفَّارٌ as
pl. of كَافِرٌ, (
Msb,) or عَزَبٌ has both of these pls., (
O,) or عُزَّابٌ is
pl. of ↓
عَازِبٌ, (
TA,) and is applied to men and to (assumed
tropical:) women as meaning having no spouses: (
S,
TA:) عَزَبَةٌ is applied to (assumed
tropical:) a woman [as meaning having no husband], (
Ks,
S,
O,
Msb,
K,) and (
O,
Msb,
K) so عَزَبٌ; (
Zj,
Kz,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K;) and if أَعْزَبُ be applied to a man, ↓ عَزْبَآءُ, may by rule be applied to a woman; and the
pl. of عَزَبَةٌ is عَزَبَاتٌ: (
Msb:) or,
accord. to
Zj, عَزَبَةٌ is a mistake of Abu-l-'Abbás [i. e.
Th], and عَزَبٌ is used as an
epithet of a man and of a woman, like as is خَصْمٌ, and does not assume a dual form nor a
pl. nor a
fem. form, because it is originally an
inf. n.;
MF, however, denies that we have any authority for calling عَزَبٌ an
inf. n.: he considers it to be a simple
epithet, like حَسَنٌ &c.; and if used in the
fem. sense without the termination ة otherwise than by poetic license, to be an
anomalous epithet, like عَانِسٌ, which is applied alike to a man and to a woman: the phrase رَجُلَانِ عَزَبَانِ is also mentioned: and the saying إِنَّهُ لَعَزَبٌ لَزَبٌ [in which the latter
epithet is merely an
imitative sequent corrobative of the former], and إِنَّهَا لَعَزَبَةٌ لَزَبَةٌ: and عَزَبٌ is said to be [also] a
quasi-pl. n. [of
عَازِبٌ], like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ. (
TA.) عُزْبَةٌ and ↓ عُزُوبَةٌ The state of having no wife or husband; celibacy. (
S,
K. [Each said in the
S and
K to be a simple
subst.: but see 1, near the end.]) عَزِيبٌ A man who has gone away to a distance (تَعَزَّبَ, as in some copies of the
K), or who goes away to a distance (يَعْزُبُ, as in other copies of the
K), from his family and his cattle, or camels &c. (
K,
TA.)
b2: And Cattle, or camels &c., at a distance from the tribe: heard by
Az in this sense from the Arabs: (
TA:) or a herd of camels, and the like of sheep or goats, that go away to a distance from their owners in the pasturage: (
K,
TA:) and إِبِلٌ عَزِيبٌ camels that do not return in the evening to the tribe: عَزِيبٌ thus used is
pl. (or a
quasi-pl. n.,
TA) of ↓
عَازِبٌ, like as غَزِىٌّ is of غَازٍ. (
S,
K,
TA.)
b3: See also
عَازِبٌ b4: And see عَزَبٌ, near the middle.
عَزُوبَةٌ A land in which one has to go far for pasturage; (
O,
K;) in which the pasturage is little: (
TA:) the ة is to render the signification intensive. (
O.) عُزُوبَةٌ: see عُزْبَةٌ.
عَازِبٌ Distant, or remote: (
Msb,
TA:) applied in this sense to herbage: (
S,
K:) or, applied to herbage, such as has not been depastured at all, nor trodden: and,
accord. to the
A, only such as is in a desert in which is no seed-produce: (
TA:) and it is likewise applied to meadows (رَوْضٌ) [
app. as meaning distant, or remote]; as also ↓ عَزِيبٌ. (
A,
TA.) In the following saying,
وَصَدْرٍ أَرَاحَ اللَّيْلُ
عَازِبَ هَمِّهِ
تَضَاعَفَ فِيهِ الحُزْنُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبِ
(
tropical:) [In many a bosom whose remote (or long-past) anxiety night has brought back, grief has multiplied from every quarter], it is used metaphorically. (
A.) And [in like manner,] in a
trad. of 'Átikeh, قَهُنَّ هَوَآءٌ وَالحُلُومُ عَوَازِبُ means (assumed
tropical:) And they are devoid of reason, the intel-lects [being] far away: عَوَازِبُ here being
pl. of
عَازِبٌ. (
L,
TA.) And [in a similar manner,] عَوَازِبُ الأَطْهَارِ [in which عَوَازِبُ is
pl. of
عَازِبَــةٌ] is applied as an
epithet to women whose husbands are absent: (
S and O and
TA, from a verse of En-Ná- bighah Edh-Dhubyánee: [for the
lit. meaning, see 1, latter half:])
b2: [for]
عَازِبٌ signifies also Absent; and concealed. (
Msb.)
b3: It is also applied to sheep or goats, (شَآءٌ,
O,
TA, and غَنَمٌ,
O,) and to camels, (إِبِلٌ,
O,) meaning Remote in the pasturage, (
O,
TA,) that do not return in the evening, (
O,) or that do not repair to the place of alighting and abode [of their owners] in the night: (
TA:) and [in like manner] ↓ عَزَبٌ is applied to cattle, or camels &c., (مَالٌ,
A,
O,
TA,) meaning that go away to a distance from their owners. (
O.) See also عَزِيبٌ [which, thus applied, is a
quasi-pl. n. of
عَازِبٌ]. And
عَازِبَــةٌ is likewise applied to camels (
O,
K) as meaning That go far away to pasture: (
O,
K: *) so in the
prov. إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتُ الغَنَمَ حِذَارَ الـ
ـعَازِبَــةِ [I only bought the sheep, or goats, in fear of loosing those that go far away to pasture]: said by a man who had camels, and sold them, and bought sheep, or goats, lest they [the camels] should go far away to pasture; and his sheep, or goats, did so: (
O,
K:) it is applied to the case of him who acts with gentleness [or precaution] in the easiest of affairs, and has unexpected difficulty, or trouble, inseparable from him. (
O.)
b4: See also عَزَبٌ, in three places.
b5: And see مُعَزِّبَةٌ.
عَوْزَبٌ An old woman: (
O,
K:) so called because of the long period that has elapsed since her marriage. (
TA.) أَعْزَبُ; and the
fem. عَزْبَآءُ: see عَزَبٌ.

&c.]

TA:)
pl. مَـ
ـعَازِبُ, for which مَعَازِيبُ occurs in a verse of Aboo-Khirásh El-Hudhalee. (
O.)
b2: See also مُعَزِّبَةٌ.
مُعَزَّبٌ A herd of pasturing camels taken to pasture at a distance (عُزِّبَ بِهِ) from the place of abode. (
S,
O,
K. *) مُعَزِّبَةٌ (
A,
O,
K) and ↓ مِعْزَبَةٌ and ↓
عَازِبَــةٌ (
K) (
tropical:) A man's wife, (
A,
O,
K,) to whom he resorts, and who undertakes the preparing of his food and the taking care of his implements, utensils, accoutrements, or furniture. (
O.) مِعْزَابٌ: see what follows, in two places.
مِعْزَابَةٌ A man who goes away to a distance with his cattle, or camels &c., (
S,
A,
O,
K,) from others, in the pasturage; (
S, O;) as also ↓ مِعْزَابٌ: (
A,
O,
K:)
accord. to
Az, the former is the only
epithet of the measure مِفْعَالَةٌ, except مِجْذَامَةٌ, which is sometimes used; [but in the
TA, مِطْرَابَةٌ and مِطْوَاعَةٌ and مِقْدَامَةٌ also are mentioned;] the ة in معزابة, he says, is added to give intensiveness to the signification, and to imply praise; the meaning being, in his opinion, a man who frequently betakes himself, with his cattle, or camels &c., pasturing at a distance from others, to the places where rain has fallen, and to the uncropped herbage produced thereby; and he adds that the ة is affixed to a
masc.
epithet to imply praise or blame when intensiveness is meant. (
TA.) The two epithets above are also
expl. as applied to a man who pastures his camels at a distance from the abode of the tribe, not repairing to them to rest. (
TA.) [See also عَزَبٌ &c.]

TA,) so that he has no need of one. (
TA.)
b3: See also عَزَبٌ
