جب

أ1 جَبَأَ and جَبِئَ, aor. ـَ He restrained, or withheld, himself; refrained, forbore, or abstained; or turned back, or reverted. (K, TA.) You say, جَبَأَ عَنْهُ, and جَبِئَ, meaning He restrained, or withheld, himself, &c., from him, or it; and regarded him, or it, with reverence, veneration, dread, awe, or fear: (TA:) [or,] accord. to Az, جَبَأْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ, inf. n. جَبْءٌ and جُبُوْءٌ, [to which Golius adds جُبُؤٌ and جِبَآءٌ, but, I suspect, from incorrect MSS.,] means I drew, or held, or hung, back from the man; or remained behind him; or shrank from him; or shrank from him and hid myself: and he cites (from Nuseyb Ibn-Mihjen, TA) فَهَلْ أَنَ إِلَّ مِثْلُ سَيِّقَةِ العِدَى

إِنِ اسْتَقْدَمَتْ نَحْرٌ وَإِنْ جَبَأَتْ عَقْرٌ [And am I otherwise than like the beasts driven away by the enemy? If they go before, slaughter befalls them; and if they remain behind, hocking]. (S, TA.) You say also, مَا جَبَأَ عَنْ شَتْمِى He did not draw back from reviling me; did not desist, or abstain, therefrom. (TA.) b2: It (a sword) recoiled, or reverted, without penetrating, or without effect: (K:) or so the former verb [only]. (TA.) b3: It (the sight, or the eye,) recoiled, or reverted: (K:) or so the former verb [only]; and disliked, or disapproved, or hated, the thing [that was before it]. (TA.) You say, جَبَأَتْ عَيْنِى عَنِ الشَّىْءِ My eye recoiled, or reverted, from the thing. (S.) And of a woman of displeasing aspect you say, إِنَّ العَيْنِ لَتَجْبَأُ عَنْهَا [Verily the eye recoils from her with dislike]. (As, TA.) b4: He disliked, disapproved, or hated: (K:) or so the former verb [only]. (TA.) Yousay, جَبَأَ الشَّىْءَ He disliked, &c., the thing. (TA.) b5: He inclined his neck: (K:) or so the former verb [only]. (TA.) b6: He hid himself; (K, TA;) [app. from fear;] as, for instance, a ضَبّ [q. v.] in its hole. (TA.) b7: He, or it, came, or went, forth, or out: (K:) [or so the former verb only.] You say of a serpent, جَبَأَ عَلَيْهِ It came forth upon him from its hole (S, TA) so as to frighten him; and in like manner one says of a hyena, and a ضَبّ, and a jerboa. (TA.) And جَبَأَ عَلَى

القَوْمِ He came forth unexpectedly upon the people, or company of men. (TA.) And جَبَأَ الجَرَادُ The locusts invaded, or came suddenly upon, the country. (TA.) 4 أَجْبَأَتْ said of a land, (S,) or اجبأ said of a place, (K,) It abounded with [the kind of truffles called] كَمْأَة, (S,) or كَمْء, (so in some copies of the K,) or [rather] جِبَأَة [a pl. or quasi-pl. n. of جَبْء. (So in other copies of the K.) A2: اجبأ He hid a thing. (K.) And hence, He hid his camels from the collector of the poor-rate. (IAar, TA.) b2: He sold seed-produce before it showed itself to be in a good state, (S, K, TA,) or before it came to maturity. (TA.) Hence, in a trad., مَنْ أَجْبَى فَقَدْ أَرْبَى [He who sells seed-produce before it shows itself to be in a good state, or before it has come to maturity, practices the like of usury]: (S, TA:) originally with ء, (S,) which is suppressed for the purpose of assimilation [to اربى]. (TA. [See 4 in art. جبو and جبى.]

A3: اجبأ عَلَى القَوْمِ He overlooked the people, or company of men; or commanded, or had, a view of them; or came in sight of them; syn. أَشْرَفَ. (K.) جَبْءٌ sing. of جِبَأَةٌ, like as فَقْعٌ is of فِقَعَةٌ, and غَرْدٌ of غِرَدَةٌ: (S:) or i. q. كَمْأَةٌ: (K:) or n. un. of ↓ جَبْأَةٌ, which is a coll. gen. n., like كَمْأَةٌ: (MF and TA, voce قَعْبٌ:) [J says,] جِبَأَةٌ signifies Red كَمْأَة [or truffles]: or, accord. to El-Ahmar, those [truffles] that incline to redness; كَمْأَةٌ signifying those that incline to dust-colour and blackness; and فِقَعَةٌ, the white; and بَنَاتُ أَوْبَرَ, the small: (S:) accord. to AHn, ↓ جَبْأَةٌ signifies a white thing resembling a كَمْء, of which no use is made: but accord. to IAar, the black كَمْأَة; which, he says, are the best of كمأة: (TA:) the pl. of جَبْءٌ is أَجْبُؤٌ, (S, K,) a pl. of pauc., (S,) and جِبَأَةٌ, [as mentioned above,] or, accord. to Sb, this is a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ جَبَأٌ, (K,) or this also is a quasi-pl. n. (TA.) b2: I. q. أَكَمَةٌ [q. v., i. e. A hill, or mound, &c.]: pls. as above.

(Sb, K) Fearful, or cowardly: (S, K:) fem. with ة: and therefore the pl. is formed by the addition of و and ن. (Sb, TA.) Mafrook Ibn-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee says, فَمَا أَنَ مِنْ رَيْبِ المَنُونِ بِجُبَّأٍ

وَلَا أَنَا مِنْ سَيْبِ الإِلٰهِ بِآيِسِ [But I am not fearful of the vicissitudes of fortune, nor despairing of the favour of God]. (S, TA.) جُبَّآءٌ: see what next precedes.
