O,
K. [
SM, not having found this in any lexicon but the

coll. gen. n., signifying Reeds, or canes; and the like, as the culms of corn, &c.; and sometimes signifying a reed, or cane, and the like, as meaning a species thereof;] any plant having (
M,

Mgh,
Msb) أَنَابِيب [or internodial portions] (
M,
A,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and [their] كُعُوب [or connecting knots, or joints]; (
Mgh,
Msb;) [i. e. any kind, or species, of plant having a jointed stem;]
i. q. أَبَآءٌ [a word comparatively little known]; (
S; [in the O اَناء, a mistranscription;]) and [it is said that] ↓ قَصْبَآءُ signifies the same: (
S, O: [but see what follows:]) the
n. un. of the former is ↓
قَصَبَةٌ (
S,
M,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and ↓ قَصْبَاةٌ or ↓ قَصَبَاةٌ: (
K accord. to different copies; the former
accord. to the
TA: [but each of these I believe to be a mistake for ↓ قَصُبْآءَةٌ, which is said to be a
n. un. of قَصْبَآءُ, and therefore held by some to be
syn. with قَصَبَةٌ:]) ↓ قَصْبَآءُ [appears, however, to differ somewhat from قَصَب, for it is said that it] signifies an assemblage of قَصَب; (
M,
K;) and its
n. un. is ↓
قَصَبَةٌ and ↓ قَصْبَآءَةٌ [like حَلَفَةٌ and حَلْفَآءَةٌ which are both said to be ns. un. of حَلْفَآءٌ; and طَرَفَةٌ and طَرْفَآءَةٌ, said to be ns. un. of طَرْفَآءٌ; the former in each case
anomalous]: (
M: [see also
Ham p. 201:]) or,
accord. to
Sb, ↓ قَصْبَآءُ is
sing. and
pl., (
S,
M,
Mgh,
O,) and so طَرْفَآءُ, (
S,
M,
O,) and حَلْفَآءُ; (
S, O;) as
pl. and as
sing. also having the sign of the
fem. gender; therefore, when they mean to express the
sing. signification, they add the
epithet وَاحِدَةٌ; thus, and thus only, distinguishing the
sing. meaning from the
pl., and making a difference between a word of this class and a noun that denotes a
pl. meaning and has not the sign of the
fem. gender such as تَمْرٌ and بُسْرٌ, and such as أَرْطًى and عَلْقًى of which the ns. un. are أَرْطَاةٌ and عَلْقَاةٌ: (
M:) or, as some say, ↓ قَصْبَآءُ signifies many قَصَب growing in a place: (
Mgh:) and it signifies also a place in which قَصَب grow: (
M,
K:) [or] ↓ مَـ
ـقْصَبَةٌ has this last meaning; (
Mgh,
Msb;) or signifies, like ↓ أَرْضٌ
قَصِبَةٌ, a land having قَصَب. (
M,
K. *)

قَصَبَة,) and he who outstripped plucked it up and took it, in order that he might be known to be the one who outstripped, without contention: this was the origin of the phrase: then, in consequence of frequency of usage, it was applied also to the expeditious, quick, and light, or active: (
Msb, *
TA:) [
accord. to the
TA, it is a
tropical phrase, but perhaps it is so only when used in the latter way:] it is said in a
trad. of Sa'eed Ibn-El-Ás, that he measured the horse-course with the cane, making it to be a hundred canes in length, and the cane was stuck upright in the ground at the goal, and he who was first in arriving at it took it, and was entitled to the stake. (
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.]
