أَحَقُّ بِهَا [from him who was more, or most, entitled to it], (M,) or عَنْهُ [from him]. (Msb.) 'Amr Ibn-Kulthoom says, صَبَنْتِ الكَأْسَ عَنَّا أُمَّ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ الكَأْسُ مَجْرَاهَا اليَمِينَا [Thou hast turned away the cup of wine from us, O Umm-' Amr; when the proper course of the cup of wine was towards the right].

صَبْنَآءُ The hand of a player at a game of hazard inclined for acting treacherously to a companion. (IAar, K.) صَابُونٌ a word of well-known meaning, (S, M, K,) [Soap;] a compound with which clothes [&c.] are washed: the best of which is made of pure olive-oil and clear potash and good جِير [meaning lime], well cooked [i. e. boiled], and dried, and cut into particular shapes: the مَغْرِبِىّ sort is not cut, nor well cooked [or boiled], but is like cooked starch: (TA:) it is hot and dry; and produces a pleasurable sensation in the body; (K;) but the washing the head with it hastens hoariness: (TA: [in which many other supposed properties of it are mentioned:]) IDrd says the word is not of the language of the Arabs: (TA:) [Fei, in the Msb, fancifully derives it from صَبَنَ الكَأْسَ, because it removes filths and impurities:] MF says that it is one of the words common to all languages, Arabic and Persian and Turkish and others [as Greek &c.]. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] صُابُونُ الهُمُومِ is a term for (assumed tropical:) Wine. (TA voce تِرْيَاقٌ, q. v.) صَابُونِىٌّ Of, or relating to, soap; saponaceous. b2: And A maker, or seller, of soap: mentioned in the K and TA only as a surname.]
