K,) [not دَبَجٌ and دَبَجَةٌ as in the Lexicons of Golius and Freytag,] He variegated, decorated, embellished, adorned, or ornamented: (
L,
K: *) [and so ↓ دبّج,
inf. n. تَدْبِيجٌ, occurring in the

A,
L,
Msb,)

مَا بِالدَّارِ دِبِّيجٌ, (
ISk,
S,
A,) or فِى الدَّارِ, (
K,) (
tropical:) There is not in the house any one: (
ISk,
S,
A,
K:) دِبِّيجٌ is not used otherwise than in a negative phrase:
IJ derives it from دِيبَاجٌ; because men adorn the earth: (
TA:) [
Z says,] it is from دَبَجَ, like سِكِّيتٌ from سَكَتَ; because men adorn houses: (
A:) Abu-l-'Abbás says that دِبِّيحٌ is more chaste than دِبِّيجٌ: (
TA:) [
ISk says, or
J, for the passage is ambiguous,]
A'Obeyd doubted respecting the ج and the ح; and I asked respecting this word, in the desert, a company of the Arabs thereof, and they said, مَا فِى الدَّارِ دِبِّىٌّ, and nothing more; but I have found in the handwriting of Aboo-Moosà El-Hámid, ما فى الدار دِبِّيجٌ, with ج, on the authority of
Th: (
S:)
AM says that the ج in دِبِّيٌج is substituted for the [latter] ى in دِبِّىٌّ, in like manner as they say مُرِّىٌّ and مُرِّجٌّ &c. (
TA.) دُبَيْبِيجٌ: see the next paragraph, near the end.
دِيبَاجٌ, (
S,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K, &c.,) or دَيْبَاجٌ, (
Th,) or both, (
IAar,
A'Obeyd,) the latter having been sometimes heard, (
IAar,) or the latter is
post-classical, (
A'Obeyd,) or wrong, (
Az,) a word of well-known meaning, (
K,) [Silk brocade;] a certain kind of cloth, or garment, made of إِبْرِيسَم [i. e. silk, or raw silk]: (
TA:) a kind of cloth, or garment, of which the warp and woof are both of ابريسم: and particularly a name for that which is variegated, decorated, or embellished: (

TA:) [
accord. to Golius, as on the authority of the
S and
K, in neither of which is the word explained at all, “vestis serica: imprimis picta, pec. Attalica, auro intexta:] derived from دَبَجَ: (
Ks:) or it is a
Pers\. word, (
Kr,
S,
A,) arabicized; (
Kr,
S,
A,
Msb,
K;) so some say, and from it دَبَجَ is derived; (
Msb;) originally دِيبَاىْ, or دِيبَا; (
Kr;) [or rather دِيبَاهْ, for the change of the final ه into ج in arabicized words from the
Pers\. is very common;] or دِيوْ بَافْ, i. e. “ the weaving of the deevs, or jinn, or genii: ” (Shifá el-Ghaleel:)
pl. دَيَابِيجُ and دَبَابِيجُ; (
S,
Msb,
K;) the latter being from the supposed original form of the
sing., i. e. دِبَّاجٌ; (
S,
Msb;) like دَنَانِيرُ [
pl. of دِينَارٌ, which is supposed to be originally دِنَّارٌ]: and in like manner is formed the
dim. [↓ دُيَيْبِيجٌ and ↓ دُبَيْبِيجٌ]. (
S.)
b2: دِيبَاجُ القُرْآنِ is a title given by Ibn-Mes'ood to The chapters of the
