S,
O,
Msb,
K) and عِلَابٌ. (
S,
Msb,
K.)
A2: Also A tall palm-tree: (

K:) [see ↓ عُلْبٌ (
voce سَاجِدٌ), a
coll. gen. n. used as a
pl.; or a
pl., and, if so,
app. a contraction of عُلَبٌ, by poetic license:
Sgh, however, adds,] but some say that it is ↓ عَلَبَةٌ [i. e.] بِالتَّحْرِيك. (

IAar,
O,
K,
TA,) otherwise

IAar,
O,
K,
TA,) which is a wooden thing having in it holes adapted to the size of the legs of the persons confined [by it, i. e. a kind of stocks]: (
TA:)

IAar,
O,
TA.) A poet says, فِى رِجْلِهِ عِلْبَةٌ خَشْنَآءُ مِنْ قَرَظٍ
[Upon his leg was a rough kind of stocks of the wood of the tree called karadh]. (
O,
TA.) عَلَبَةٌ: see عُلْبَةٌ, last sentence.
عِلْبَآءٌ [perfectly
decl., because the ء is a letter of quasi-coordination, i. e., added to render the word
quasi-coordinate to the class of قِرْطَاسٌ and the like,] The عَصَب of the neck; [
app. meaning the upper, cervical, tendinous portion of the trapezius muscle;] (
S,
O,
K; [in all of which, mention is made of the علبآء of the camel, to which it seems to be most commonly applied, and also to that of a man;]) it is one of a pair, and between one علبآء and the other is the place of growth of the mane; (
S, O;)
Az explains it as specially applied to the thick عَصَب; and
IAth, as the عَصَب in the neck, extending to the كَاهِل [or part between the two shoulder-blades]:
ISd says that it is
syn. with عَقَبٌ [
q. v.]: (
TA:) [it is also said that] it signifies the عَصَبَة [i. e. tendon, or sinew,] that extends in the neck: (
Msb:) or the yellow عَصَبَة in the side (صَفْحَة) of the neck; one of a pair: (
A:) and the عِلْبَاوَانِ in a man are [said to be] the two yellow tendons or sinews (العَصَبَتَانِ الصَّفْرَاوَانِ) in the مَتْن [or part next the spine, on either side,] of the neck: (
Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) [but of all the meanings thus assigned to it, the first seems to be the most proper, or at least the most usual: see
Q. Q. 1:] the Arabs used to bind therewith, in the fresh, or moist, state, the أَجْفَان [or sheaths] of their swords, and also their spears when cracked, and it dried upon them, and became strong: (
IAth,
TA:) the word is
masc., (
Lh,
TA,) or [it is
masc. and
fem., but] the making it
fem. is preferred [though this is
contr. to
analogy]: (
Msb:) the dual is عِلْبَاوَانِ (
S,
A,
O,
Msb) and عِلْبَا آنِ; (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) [the former
app. the more common, but the latter the more proper;] for the ء [in the
sing.] is a letter of quasi-coordination [and therefore properly with tenween]; but if you will, you may liken it to the
fem. ء that is in حَمْرَآءُ [of which the dual is more properly حَمْرَاوَانِ], or to the radical ء [or rather the ء that is substituted for the last radical letter] in كِسَآءٌ [of which the dual is more pro-perly كِسَا آنِ]: (
S, O:) and the
pl. is عَلَابِىُّ. (
S,
O,
K.) You say of a man when he has become advanced in age, تَشَنَّجَ عِلْبَآءُ الرَّجُلِ [The علبآء of the man has become contracted]. (
S, O.)
b2: The
pl. عَلَابِىُّ is
expl. in the
K as signifying also Lead: and in the
S as signifying lead, or a kind thereof: (
TA:) El-Kutabee says, “I have been told that العَلَابِىُّ signifies lead; but I am not sure of it: ” and
Az says, “I know not any one who has said it, and it is not true; ” (
O,
TA;) and this is the case: (
O:)
MF observes that its explanation as signifying lead requires it to be a
sing. of a
pl. form, or a
pl. that has no
sing., like أَبَابِيلُ and عَبَادِيدُ: (
TA:) in a
trad., mention is made of swords of which the ornaments were العلابىّ and الآنُك; (
O,
TA;) and the coupling of these two words together has led to the supposition that the former means lead; but there is no evading the fact that it is the
pl. of علبَآء meaning the عَصَب of the camel. (
TA.) عُلْبُوبَةُ القَوْمِ The best persons of the people, or party. (
Sh,
O,
K.) عِلَابٌ A mark made with a hot iron along the length of the neck [of a camel], (
S,
O,
K,) upon, or over, the عِلْبَآء. (
TA.) عَلَابِىُّ
pl. of عِلْبَآءٌ [
q. v.].
أَعْلَبُ: see عَلِبٌ, last sentence.
مُعْلِبَةٌ: see the next paragraph.
مُعَلَّبٌ A sword having its hilt bound (
A, O) with the عِلْبَآء of a camel; (O;) as also ↓ مَعْلُوبٌ. (
A.)
b2: And مُعَلَّبَةٌ A she-camel (
S,
K) marked with the mark called عِلَاب; (
S,
O,
K;) as also ↓ مُعْلِبَةٌ. (
K.) مُعَلِّبٌ One who makes the kind of vessel called عُلْبَةٌ. (
S, O.) مُعَلْبَاةٌ One who has a perforation made in her عِلْبَاوَانِ [dual of عِلْبَآءٌ] with the instrument called مِدْرًى [
q. v.]. (
O.) مَعْلُوبٌ A conspicuous road (
S,
O,
K,
TA) that is marked in its two sides; or marked with the traces of travellers. (
