(TA.) b3: يَــهْضِبُ بِالشِّعْرِ وَبِالخُطَبِ (tropical:) He pours forth verses, and discourses in rhyming prose, or the like. (A.) b4: هَضَبَ فِى الحَدِيثِ and ↓ اهتضب, (S, K,) and ↓ اهضب (K, but omitted in the TA,) (assumed tropical:) He launched into discourse, (S, K,) and talked much, or launched into discourse time after time, (TA,) and raised his voice.

A3: هَضَبَ القَوْمُ: see ضَهَبَ, and هَاضِبٌ.4 أَــهْضَبَ see 1.8 إِهْتَضَبَ see 1.

A2: اهتضب It (the vibrating of a bow-string) produced a twanging. (TA.) 10 استــهضب It became what is termed هَضْب, (K,) or هَضْبَــة; (A;) i. e. a mountain of the kind so termed. (A.) هَضْبٌ A kind, mode, or way. A. Heyth quotes the following verse of El-Kumeyt, describing a horse: مُخَيَّفٌ بَعْضُهُ وَرْدٌ وَسَائِرُهُ جَوْنٌ أَفَانِينُ إِجْرِيَّاهُ لَا هَضْبُ The poet means, that his running, or usual running, was of different, or various, kinds; not of one هضب, or kind. (L.) A2: See هَضْبَــةٌ.

هَضَبٌ: see هَضْبَــةٌ.

هَضْبَــةٌ A rain: (S, K:) or a rain consisting of many drops: (IAth:) or a lasting rain, consisting of great drops: or a single fall thereof: (TA:) or hard rain: (Msb:) pl. هِضَبٌ, (S, K,) like بِدَرٌ pl. of بَدْرَةٌ, (S,) extr. [with respect to rule], (TA,) and هِضَابٌ, (K,) or this is pl. of هَضْبٌ accord. to the S; (TA;) and pl. pl. أَهَاضِيبُ; (K;) or this is pl. of هِضَابٌ, which is pl. of ↓ هَضْبٌ, signifying fine showers of rain after other rain; syn. حَلَبَاتُ قَطْرٍ بَعْدَ قَطْرٍ; (Az, S;) and this is what is correct: (TA:) or ↓ هَضْبٌ signifies a fine rain; or a fine shower of rain; syn. حَلْبَةُ قَطْرٍ: it is also said, in the L, that ↓ أُهْضُوبَةٌ is syn. with هَضْبٌ, [either in one of the last two senses, or as a coll. gen. n. of which هَضْبَــةٌ is the n. un., which it is said to be below,] and that اهاضيب is its pl.: ↓ هُضُوبَةٌ also is the same as اهضوبة: so in the phrase أَصَابَتْهُمُ الهضوبةُ مِنَ المَطَرِ [The fine shower, or showers, of rain (or the shower of rain, or of copious rain, or of lasting rain consisting of large drops, or hard rain,) fell upon them]; mentioned in the K: it is also said in the L, that هَضْبٌ forms in the pl. أَهْضَابٌ, and then أَهَاضِيبُ; like as قَوْلٌ forms

أَقْوَالٌ, and then أَقَاوِيلُ. (TA.) ↓ هَضْبٌ is also said to be a pl. of هَضْبَــةٌ; but it is rather a coll. gen. n., [of which هَضْبَــةٌ is the n. un.]: and هَضَبٌ is also added to the list of the pls. of the same word; but this, accord. to the S, on the authority of AA, is pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.] of هَاضِبٌ, [act. part. n. of 1,] like as تَبَعٌ is of تَابِعٌ, and بَعَدٌ of بَاعِدٌ. (TA.) A2: هَضْبَــةٌ A hill; (IAth:) or a mountain spreading over the surface of the ground: (S, Msb, K:) or a mountain composed of one mass of rock: (K:) or any firm, hard, large mass of rock: (TA:) or a long inaccessible mountain, separate from others; but only of red mountains: (K:) or a hill, such as is termed أَكَمَة, with few plants, or little herbage: (Msb:) pl. هِضَبٌ and هِضَابٌ; (S, K;) and pl. pl. أَهَاضِيبُ. (K, TA.) أَهَاضِبُ is used, by poetical licence, for اهاضيب, in a poem of one of the Hudhalees: (TA:) [or it is pl. of أَــهْضُبٌ, which is pl. of pauc. of هَضْبٌ]. هَضْبٌ is also said, in the S, and L, to be a pl. of هَضْبَــةٌ; but it is rather a coll. gen. n. (TA.) b2: An elevated, or overlooking, tract of sand. (TA, art. طود.) A3: (assumed tropical:) A run; a single run. (AHeyth.) هِضَبٌّ (tropical:) A horse sweating much; or that sweats much. (S, K.) b2: Hard, or firm, and strong, or robust. (K.) b3: Large, or bulky; as an epithet applied to the kind of lizard called ضَبّ, and to other things. (TA.) غَنَمٌ هَضِيبٌ Sheep or goats having little milk: (K:) app. form الــهَضْبُ, signifying حَلْبَةُ القَطْرِ. (TA.) هُضُوبَةٌ: see هَضْبَــةٌ.

هَاضِبٌ, used after the manner of a rel. n., signifying ذُو هَضْبٍ: so in the following expression in a verse of Aboo-Sakhr El-Hudhalee; فِى يَوْمٍ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ هَاضِبٍِ; which means In a day when the people had played much, and quickly: explained by the words كَانُوا قَدْ هَضَبُــوا فِى اللَّهْوِ. (TA.) أُهْضُوبَةٌ: see هَضْبَــةٌ.

رَوْضَةٌ مَهْضُوبَةٌ [A meadow, or the like, rained upon: or much wetted by rain]. (TA.)
