TA:) [perhaps also signifying scouts; for the word طَلِيعَةٌ by which the first is explained in the
S and
M and O and
K, and the second also in the
S and
O, means “ a scout ” and “ scouts: ”]
pl. [of the first]
رَبَايَا. (
S, O.) The first is
fem. because the طليعة is also called عَيْنٌ, and عين is
fem.: but
Sb states that this last word in the sense of طليعة is
masc. and
fem.;
fem. originally, and
masc. as being turned from [the signification of] a part [i. e. an eye] to [that of] the whole [person]. (
M.)
