سقب
1 سَقِبَ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. سَقَبٌ, He, or it, was, or became, near. (
Msb.) سَقَبٌ is
syn. with قُرْبٌ. (
S,
A,
K.) You say, سَقِبَتْ دَارُهُ, (
S, and so in the
K accord. to the
TA,) with kesr [to the ق], (
S,) [
inf. n. as above;] or سَقَبَت, (so in the
CK and in my
MS. copy of the
K and in my copy of the
Mgh,)
inf. n. سَقْبٌ, (so in my copy of the
Mgh,) or سُقُوبٌ; (
K;) [but I believe the verb to be correctly سَقِبَت, like its
syn. صَقِبَت, and the
inf. n. to be correctly سَقَبٌ, and perhaps سُقُوبٌ also;] His house was near; (
S,
Mgh,
K;) as also ↓ أَسْقَبَت. (
S,
K.) It is said in a
trad., الجَارُ أَحَقُّ بِسَقَبِهِ, meaning [The neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to pre-emption] by reason of his being near: (
S, *
A,
Msb:) or the ب is a connective of احقّ with its complement, (
Mgh,
Msb,) not to denote a cause, (
Mgh,) and بِسَقَبِهِ is
expl. as meaning بِالضْلَر
Rُّفْعَةِ; (
Mgh,
Msb;) i. e. the neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to الضْلَر
Rُّفْعَة [or pre-emption], when his house is contiguous: (
Mgh:)
IAth says that it is adduced as an evidence that الضْلَر
Rُّفْعَة belongs to the neighbour though not a sharer; i. e., that he has a better claim thereto than one who is not a neighbour: but some explain الجار as meaning the partner, or sharer: or the meaning of the
trad. may be, the neighbour has a better, or the best, claim to kindness and assistance because of his being near. (
L,
TA. [See also another reading (بِصَقَبِهِ), and explanations thereof, in art. صقب.]) 4 اسقبهُ He made him, or it, to be near: (
K:) or اسقب دَارَهُ he made his house to be near. (
S.) [And so with ص.]
A2: See also the paragraph above.
A3: أَسْقَبَتْ is also said of a she-camel, meaning She brought forth mostly males. (
A, *
TA.) [And اسقب He got, or got mostly, male offspring.] In the following saying, (
S,
TA,) of Ru-beh, describing the two parents of a man eulogized [by him], (
TA,) وَكَانَتِ العِرْسُ الَّّتِى تَنَخَّبَا لِفَحْلٍ أَسْقَبَا ↓ غَرَّآءَ مِسْقَابًا [And the wife whom he chose was generous, or noble, or fair, one that brought forth, or brought forth mostly, male offspring, to a male that begot, or begot mostly, such offspring,] the last word is a verb, in the
pret. tense, not an
epithet applied to فحل. (
S, *
TA. [In the former, only the second hemistich is cited.]) 6 تساقبت أَبْيَاتُهُمْ was probably used as meaning Their tents, or houses, were near together: see the part.
n. of this verb below.]
سَقْبٌ The young one of a camel: or, when just brought forth: (
K:) or only the male young one of a camel: (
S,
K:) [see also صَقْبٌ:] when a she-camel has brought forth her young one, the latter, when just born, is called سَلِيلٌ, before it is known whether it is a male or a female; but when it is known, if it is a male, it is called سَقْبٌ: (
As,
TA:) the female is not called سَقْبَةٌ, (
S,
K,) but حَائِلٌ: (
S:) or it is [sometimes] called by the former of these appellations: (
K:) [see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, 2nd ed., ii. 358: and see سَقْبَةٌ below:] the
pl. is أَسْقُبٌ [a

Rُوقَانِ مَكْنُوزَا العَضَلْ سَقْبَانِ signifies طَوِيلَانِ [tall], and is also written صَقْبَانِ: (
Sh,
TA:) [so that the meaning may be, And two waterers, or givers of drink, like Zeyd and Jo'al: they being two tall persons, light of flesh, compact in the muscles: I suppose هُمَا to be understood before the latter hemistich; because of the ns. in the
nom. case: and I have substituted مَكْنُوزَا for مَنْكُوزَا, the reading in the
TA, doubtless a mistranscription:] or it is for مِثْلَ سَقْبَيْنِ [meaning like two male young ones of camels]. (

TA.)
