رَسَبٌ and رُسَبٌ: see the next paragraph.

رَسُوبٌ [What is wont to sink, or subside, in water &c. b2: And hence,] Dregs amid water and blood: in this sense improperly pronounced رُسُوبٌ. (KL. [Golius, as on the same authority, explains it as meaning sedimentum aquæ, urinæ, etc.: hypostasis. See also the next paragraph.]) b3: [Hence also,] (tropical:) A sword (S, M, A, K) that penetrates into, (S,) or that disappears in, (M, A, K,) the thing struck with it; (S, M, A, K;) and so ↓ رَسَبٌ (M, K) and ↓ رُسَبٌ (K, TA) and ↓ مِرْسَبٌ. (A, K, TA. [In the CK, by the omission of وَ after the last, this and the last but one are made to be appellations of a sword of Mohammad or of Soloman, and of a sword of El-Hárith Ibn-AbeeShemir.]) b4: And (assumed tropical:) The glans of the penis: (M, K:) app. because of its disappearance on the occasion of the act of جِمَاعِ.

(K.) رُسَابَةُ المَآءش (JK and Mgh and K in art. تقن [in CK erroneously رَسَابَة]) [The sediment of water;] the thick matter that is borne by water [and that sinks to the bottom]. (Lth, Mgh in that art.) رَسُوبِىٌّ and ↓ مُتَرَسِّبٌ, terms used by Ibn-Seenà, are explained by Golius as meaning Having, or depositing, a sediment: but the former rather means having the nature of dregs, or sediment: and the latter, becoming, or that becomes, precipitated.]
