Golius explains خَيَّابٌ as meaning ignitabulum fallens, quod non excudit semina ignis: but I cannot anywhere find قَدْحٌ or قِدْحٌ in the sense which he assigns to one of these words, which is that of مِقْدَحَةٌ &c.]) b2: In the following verse, quoted by Th, اُسْكُتْ وَلَا تَنْطِقْ فَأَنْتَ خَيَّابْ كُلُّكَ ذُو عَيْبٍ وَأَنْتَ عَيَّابٌ حيّاب may be [an epithet] of the measure فَعَّال from الخَيْبَةُ; [so that the meaning may be (assumed tropical:) Be thou silent, and speak not, for thou art habitually unsuccessful; thou art altogether vitious, or faulty, and thou art a great imputer of vices, or faults, to others;] or the person there men tioned may be meant to be likened to the قدح above mentioned.
