عنكب
عَنْكَبٌ: see عَنْكَبُوتٌ, in two places.
عَنْكَبَاةٌ and عَنْكَبَآءُ: see the next paragraph.
عَنْكَبُوتٌ; (
S,
O,
K;) generally
fem., (
S,
O,) but sometimes
masc.; (
O,
K;) also,
fem., عَكْنَبَاةٌ, (
S,
O,
K,) in the
dial. of El-Yemen, with the ك put before the ن; (
TA;) and ↓ عَنْكَبَاةٌ and عَنْكَبُوهٌ (so in the O and
TA, but in the
CK and a
MS. copy of the
K عَنْكَبُوةٌ); and ↓ عَنْكَبَاءُ; (
O,
K;) the last mentioned by
Sb as shewing the ت in عنكبوت to be an augmentative letter; but it is doubtful whether this be a
sing., or a
quasi-pl. n.: (
TA:) also,
masc., ↓ عَنْكَبٌ; (
IAar,
O,
K;)
fem., عَنْكَبَةٌ: (
IAar,
K:) or the former of these two words is a
coll. gen. n. [and the latter, its
n. un.]: (
TA:) [The spider;] the thing that weaves; (
S, O;) an insect that weaves a delicate web in the air and upon the upper part of a well: (
TA:)
pl. عَنَاكِبُ (
S,
O,
K) and عَنْكَبُوتَاتٌ (
K) and عَنَاكِيبُ (
Lh,
TA) and عَنَاكبِيتُ, (
As,
Ktr,
TA,) which last is
anomalous, in its having four letters together after its ا:
dim. ↓ عُنَيْكِبٌ and ↓ عُنَيْكِيبٌ and ↓ عُنَيْكِبِيتٌ; but this last is not approved: (
TA:) quasi-
pl. nouns عِكَابٌ and عُكُبٌ and أَعْكُبٌ [in the
CK أَعْكَبٌ]. (
K.) بَيْتُ العنكبوت [The spider's web] is also called عَكْدَبَةٌ. (
Fr,
TA.)
b2: Sá'ideh-Ibn-Ju-eiyeh says, مَقَتُّ نِسَآءً بِالْحِجَازِ صَوَالِحًا
↓ وَإِنَّا مَقَتْنَا كُلَّ سَوْدَآءَ عَنْكَبِ [meaning I hated virtuous women in El-Hijáz; and verily we hated every black, short woman: for] here عنكب signifies short: (
Skr,
L:) or it may be
syn. with عَنْكَبُوتٌ, but be used as an
epithet, though a
subst., because it implies blackness and shortness. (
IJ,
L.)
b3: زَهْرُ العَنْكَبُوتِ: see رُتَيْلَآءُ.
b4: عنكبوت also signifies A worm, or maggot, that is engendered in the honeycomb, and spoils the honey. (
AHn,
L.)
b5: عنكبوت is mentioned in this art. agreeably with the rule of
Sb; when ن occupies the second place in a word, it is not to be pronounced augmentative without proof: but
J and some others consider the ن augmentative, and mention the word in art. عكب. (
TA.) عُنَيْكِبٌ and عُنَيْكِيبٌ and عُنَيْكِبِيتٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.
مُعَنْكَبُ القَرْنِ A he-goat having a horn curved so as to resemble a ring. (
Az,
TA.)
