Fr says, When a woman lowers her نقاب to her eye, it [the action] is termed وَصْوَصَةٌ; and when she lowers it further, to [the lower part of] the circuit of the eye, it [the veil] is called نقاب; and if it is on the extremity of the nose, it is [properly] called لِفَامٌ: (
T:) the نقاب, with the Arabs, is that [kind of veil] from out of which appears the circuit of the eye: and the meaning of the saying in a
trad. النِّقَابُ مُحْدَثٌ is, that women's shewing the circuits of the eyes is an innovation; not that they used not to veil their faces: the [kind of]
نقاب which they used reached close to the eye, and they showed one eye while the other was concealed; whereas the [kind of] نقاب, which only shows both the eyes [without their circuits] was called by them وَصْوَصَةٌ [a mistake for وَصْوَاصٌ] and تُرْقُعٌ: [in the original, والنقاب لا يبدومنه الّا العينان وكان اسمه الخ: but the و before كان is erroneously introduced, and perverts the sense, which is otherwise plain, and agreeable with what is said before:] then they innovated the [veil] properly called] نقاب: (
A'Obeyd:)
pl. نَقُبٌ. (
Msb.)
A2: نِقَابٌ and ↓ مِنَقَبٌ A road through a rugged tract of ground: (

S,
K:) like أَمِينٌ and كَفِيلٌ: (
Zj:) their head, or chief: (

TA.) See also what follows. نَقِيبَةٌ is also said, in the
K, to signify the same as عَقْلٌ (understanding, intellect, or intelligence); but, says
SM, I have not found this in any other lexicon: only I have found the word explained in the
L as signifying يُمْنُ الفِعْلِ (good fortune attending, or resulting from, an action): so probably عَقْلٌ is a mistake for فِعْلٌ. (

أَنَقًا بِهِنَّ, “by reason of their pleasure,” is also read, for أَنْقَابُهُنَّ: (

ـنقبة; and this word is explained as signifying a wall:
syn. حَائِطٌ: [and so in the
