(S, Msb, K.) b2: Hence, (IAth, TA,) غَبَّ said of a man means He came visiting at intervals of some days, or after some days. (AA, IAth, TA.) [See also غِبٌّ: and see غُبَيْسٌ.] b3: And غَبَّ عَنِ القَوْمِ, (Ks, S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ the verb in this case being of the class of قَتَلَ, [but this is contr. to analogy, as well as to the derivation,] inf. n. غِبٌّ, with kesr, He came to the people, or party, day after day: (Msb:) or, as also القَوْمَ ↓ اغبّ, he came to the people, or party, on alternate days, coming one day and not the next: (Ks, S, K:) or he came to them once in two days or more. (TA.) It is said in a trad., فِى عِيَادَةِ المَرِيضِ ↓ أَغِبُّوا وَأَرْبِعُوا Visit ye the sick on alternate days and after intervals of two days: (S, TA:) not every day, lest he find your visits to be troublesome. (TA. [See also art. ربع.]) And you say, ↓ أَغْبَبْتُهُ, inf. n. إِغْبَابٌ, meaning I visited him [once] in every week. (A.) b4: And hence غَبَّتْ said of a fever. (Msb.) غَبَّتِ الحُمَّى and ↓ أَغَبَّت signify the same: (S:) you say, غَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الحُمَّى, The fever came upon him, (Msb,) or attacked him, (K,) one day and intermitted one day; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ أَغَبَّتْهُ and ↓ أَغَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ.

Hence the saying, رُوَيْدَ الشِّعْرَ يَغِبَّ [so accord. to the TA, حَتَّى being understood, accord. to the explanation of Meyd, but in the CK, and in one of my copies of the S, and in Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 522, يَغِبُّ,] (S, K,) i. e. Leave thou the poetry until some days shall have passed, that thou mayest see what will be its result, whether it will be praised or dispraised: (Meyd, TA:) or it may be from غَبَّت said of a fever, and may thus mean, leave thou the poetry to be kept back from people, [or to be intermitted,] i. e. do not repeat it to people in an uninterrupted manner, lest they become weary. (Meyd. [See also art. رود.]) b6: And [hence] غَبَّ, (T, S, L, Msb, K,) aor. ـِ (L, Msb,) inf. n. غَبٌّ and غِبٌّ and غُبُوبٌ and غُبُوبَةٌ, (L,) said of food, (L, Msb,) and of dates, or especially of flesh-meat as some say, (L,) It remained throughout a night, whether it became corrupt or not: (L, Msb:) and, said of food, it became altered [for the worse] in its odour: (L:) or, said of flesh-meat, it became stinking: (T, S, K;) as also ↓ اغبّ: (T, K:) and it (a thing) became corrupt. (TA. [See also 2.]) b7: غَبَّتِ الأُمُورُ means The affairs, or events, came to, or arrived at, their ends, conclusions, latter or last parts or states, issues, or results. (S, TA.) b8: And غَبَّ الشَّئْ فِى نَفْسِهِ, aor. ـِ inf. n. غَبٌّ, [app. meaning The thing came into his mind,] is a phrase mentioned by Th. (TA.) 2 غبّب فِى الحَاجَةِ, (S, O,) inf. n. تَغْبِيبٌ, (K,) He was remiss; or did not exert himself, or act vigorously or strenuously; (S, O, K;) in the needful affair: (S, O:) [and] so فِيهَا ↓ تغبّب [if not a mistranscription]. (Thus in a copy of the A.) [Hence,] كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يُغَبِّبُ مِنْ هُلْكِ المُسْلِمِينَ, (TA,) or عَنْ هَلَاكِ المسلمين, (thus in the O,) (tropical:) He wrote to him not acquainting him with the great number that had perished of the Muslims: (O, TA:) a metaphorical mode of expression; as though he were remiss, or fell short, in making known the essential state of the case. (TA, from a trad.) b2: And غبّب signifies also It (a thing) became very corrupt. (TA. [See also 1, last sentence but two.]) A2: غبّب الشَّاةَ, (O, L, *) inf. n. as above, (L, K,) He (a wolf) seized the sheep, or goat, by its throat, (O, K,) and fixed his canine teeth in it: (O:) or attacked the sheep, or goat, and broke its neck: and also left it with some remains of life in it.

(TA.) 4 أَغْبَ3َ see 1, in seven places. b2: You say also, لَا يُغِبُّنَا عَطَاؤُهُ His gift will not come to us on alternate days, but will come every day.

A2: اغبّ الإِبِلَ He watered the camels on alternate days: (S, O, Msb: *) from غِبٌّ [q. v.]. (S, O.) A3: And أَغَبَّنِى is said by Th to signify وَقَعَ بِى

[app. meaning He fell upon me in fight]. (TA.) 5 تَغبّب is app. from الغِبُّ in the sense of العَاقِبَةُ, and thus syn. with تَعَقَّبَ signifying He looked to the consequence, end, issue, or result, of an affair: see its part. n. مُتَغَبِّبْ, below.] b2: See [also] 2, first sentence.8 اغتبّت الخَيْلُ see اغتثّت.

[And وِرْدُ الغِبِّ signifies The coming of camels to the water in the second of two nights (as is shown by the context of a passage in which it occurs in the S and O and K voce طَلَقٌ), or in the second of two days.] But the saying of a rájiz, وَحُمَّرَاتٌ شُرْبُهُنَّ غِبُّ means And hummarahs [a species of birds] whose drinking is every hour or every little while (كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ).

(IAth.) One says, زُرْ غِبًّا تَزْدَدْ حُبًّا [or, accord. to common usage, حِبًّا, to assimilate it to غِبًّا, Visit once a week, or at intervals of some days; not frequently, or not every day: so thou shalt have more love: a prov., respecting which see Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 587; where غُبًّا is put for غِبًّا]. (S, O.)

Pers\. may be زَنِنْتَ, and the aor. ـَ and the inf. n., in this case, رَنَنٌ, which see below, but the TK makes its aor. to be زَنُّ, and the inf. n. زَنٌّ,] His sinews dried up. (K.) b2: زَنَّ فَذَنَّ means حقن فقطر [which may be rendered He kept in, or retained, his urine, and then dribbled it, or his urine was kept in, or retained, and then dribbled]. (TA. [See زِنِّينٌ.]) 4 أَزْنَنْتُهُ I thought him to possess good or evil; as also ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ, aor. ـُ inf. n. زَنٌّ: or both mean I imputed, or attributed, to him good or evil: (Msb:) or فُلَانًا بِخَيْرٍ ↓ زَنَّ or بِشَرٍّ he thought such a one to possess good or evil; like أَزَنَّهُ; syn. ظَنَّهُ بِهِ: (K:) or, accord. to Lh, one says, أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِمَالٍ and بِخَيْرٍ I thought him to possess [property and (as appears from what is said below on his authority) wealth]: but ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ is what the vulgar say, and is wrong.

And أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِشَىْءٍ, (S,) or بِكَذَا, (K,) and also بكذا ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ, (Har p. 112,) [and accord. to Golius ↓ اِزْتَنَنْتُهُ, mentioned by him as from the S, but not found therein by Freytag, nor by me in either of my copies,] I suspected him of a thing, or of such a thing: (S, K, and Har ubi suprà:) [but] Lh says, لَا يَكُونُ الإِزْنَانُ فِى الخَيْرِ [app. meaning that أَزَنَّ is not said in relation to that which is good: see what is cited on his authority above]. (TA.) And ازنّهُ بِالأَمْرِ He suspected him of the thing, or affair; like

أَظَنَّهُ. (S.) And هُوَ يُزَنُّ بِكَذَا [He is suspected of such a thing]. (S.) Hassán says, حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ

i. e. [Chaste, staid,] she is not suspected of evil: [in which تُزَنُّ may be from ↓ زُنَّتْ or from أُزِنَّتْ:] but some restrict themselves to the quadriliteral verb [ازنّ]. (Msb.) 8 إِزْتَنَ3َ see 4.

زَنَّةٌ A suspicion: whence the saying, ↓ أَبُو زَنَّةٍ

شَرٌّ مِنْهُ أَخُو زَنَّةٍ The ape, or baboon, or monkey, (القِرْدُ,) worse than he is the person who has conceived a suspicion: (A, TA:) [for] b2: أَبُو زَنَّةٍ, (so in three copies of the S and in my MS. copy of the K,) or ↓ ابو زِنَّةٍ, (thus in the CK and TK and JM, [in the second and third of which it is expressly said to be “ with kesr,” which, however, the author of the K should have added, accord. to his usual practice, if he meant it to be thus,]) signifies القِرْدُ. (S, K.) أَبُو زِنَّةٍ: see what next precedes, in two places.

مَآءٌ زَنَنٌ, and مِيَاهٌ زَنَنٌ, [which suggests that زَنَنٌ is an inf. n. used as an epithet,] A water, and waters, small in quantity, and narrow: (K:) [for] زَنَنٌ signifies strait, or narrow; like زَنَآءٌ and زَنِىٌّ [which do not belong to this art.]: (TA:) or مَآءٌ زَنَنٌ means [a place of water] of which one knows not whether there be in it water or not. (K.) ظِلٌّ زَنَانٌ Short [or contracted] shade; like زَنَآءٌ [mentioned in art. زنأ].

استكفاه الأمر: تخلّص منه (فريتاج 6:62) وأطلق الأسرى من الداوية الذين كانوا بحلب استكفاءً لشرهم. إن تعبير استكفاه الأمر يعني أيضاً: ألقى إليه مقاليد، فوّض أمره إلى، فوّض إليه مراقبة أو الترتيب أو تنظيم، أو تدبير أمرٍ ما (ففي أخبار مجموعة من كتب مجهولة ص2:124: وكان له قاضٍ قد استكافه أمور رعيته لفضله وزهده وورعه).
وفي مقدورنا ذكر استكفاه وحدها (عباد 1:51): إلى أن أوكل أمره إلى أحد اليهود واستكفاه. وهناك أيضاً تعبير استكفى به الأمر (ويجرز 12:30، البربرية 1، 375) وهنا أيضاً نستطيع الحذف والإيجاز ونقول استكفى به (دي ساسي كرست 13:11) ويبدو أن (فريتاج) كان له رأيه في العبارة الأخيرة حين أضاف إليها حرف الباء ب " Summum fiduciam posuit in aliquo c. p''.
عدم كفاة: نقص، تقصير (بوشر).
كفاية، أجرى له كفايته: خصص له مبلغاً كافياً من المال ينفق منه (ابن بطوطة 3، 47. معجم التنبيه).

كفاية: قدرة، ذكاء، مهارة، اختصاص، نبوغ (بوشر) ويكتبها فخري دائماً: (في الآداب السلطانية) كفاءة (ص179:10133، 2؛ 207، 2؛ 215، 7) وهي تعني: جدارة، مزية، قيمة (في معجم الطرائف ومعجم التنبيه وأخبار 119، 9 وحيان 18): وأرسل رأسه إلى ابن حفصون فأنفذه ابن حفصون إلى الأمير عبد الله بقرطبة مستحمداً إليه كفاية شأنه (أبار 142، 9 بسام 2، 12) في معرض حديثه عن شخص قد ولي منصب القضاء: فمهد لذلك جانباً من كفايته، واحتسب فيه جزءً من عمايته) (البيان 6:284:1 البربرية 1، 147، 3؛ 1: 361، 395؛ 2؛ 432؛ 8: 500 ابن الخطيب 64): فبعثه رسولاً ثقة بكايته (ألف ليلة برسل 353:12، 4؛ فالتون 33، 13 ويبدو أن هذه الكلمة تعني المعنى المتقدم نفسه على نحو عام دون أن تقتصر على الكفاية الإدارية التي هي مراد الناشر؛ هو كفاية كل شيء: قادر على كل شيء (بوشر).
كفاة: حماية:، حفظ. وهي مرادف وقاية (عباد 3، 109، 3) وأسَلُ الله أن يجعلك في حيّز الكفاية، وجانب الوقاية.
كفاية: سهر الإنسان على شرفه وعزة نفسه (معجم الطرائف).
يبدو أن تعبير: (أهل الكفاية) يدل على الناس الإمناء، الصادقين، والمستقيمين، أصحاب الشرف والنزاهة (حيان، 71): الوزراء حذّروا الأمير عبد الله، وصرفوه عن عزمه في ان يكون رأس الجيش الذي سيّره على ابن حفصون لاستغلاط شوكة الخبيث وكثرة أنصاره وللياذ من خبايا الحرب الغشوم لاسيما إن جرت من غير أهل الكفاية المغلقين لباب المعذرة.
