i. q. ↓ مَسْبِىٌّ [i. e. Made captive]; (

pl. سُبِىٌّ: (
M,
K:) one says قَوْمٌ سَبْىٌ [a company, or party, of men made captive]; the latter word in this case being an
inf. n. used as an
epithet; [therefore, as such, it is applicable to a single person, male or female, as well as to a
pl. number;] and
accord. to
As, one says not otherwise than thus in speaking of a company, or party, of men: (

TA:) [but] ↓ سَبِىٌّ is [also] applied to a single person, to the male and the female, (

fem. proper name or because of pausing after it,] i. e. They went away scattered, or dispersed: (
S,
M,
K:)
J says, (
TA,) they are two nouns made one, like مَعْدِى كَرِبَ, perfectly
decl. because not occurring otherwise than as a denotative of state, [and therefore indeterminate,] whether you make the former to be a
prefixed noun governing the latter in the
gen. case, or do not so. (
