accord. to Esh-Shiháb, in the
Expos. of the Shifè, to a thing in which was weakness: or,
accord. to the 'Ináyeh, he, or it, clung, &c., to it with weakness; and therefore ↓ مُتَشَبِّثٌ is used as an
epithet applied to a spider; and تَمَسُّكَ signifies a stronger action; and تشبّث به is also
expl. as meaning he, or it, took fast, or firm, hold upon it: (
L,
TA:) and he stuck, or fixed, or struck, the claw, or talons, or nails, into it: (
MA,
PS:) and الشَّىْءَ ↓ شَبِثَ he laid hold upon the thing, and took it:
IAar was asked respecting some verses, and he said, مَا
أَدْرِى مِنْ أَيْنَ شَبِثْتُهَا I know not whence I laid hold upon them [and took them]. (

TA.)

S,
A,
Msb,
K,) having many legs, (

pl. شِبْثَانٌ. (
S,
A,
Msb,

Sá'ideh Ibn-Ju-eiyeh, (
TA,) to the tracks of شِبْثَان. (

TA.) رَجُلٌ شَبِثٌ A man whose nature it is to cling, catch, cleave, or adhere, to a thing. (

i. q. شِبِتٌّ and سِبِتٌّ,
q. v.; i. e. anethum graveolens, or dill, of the common garden-species:]
Sgh says that شبث is a foreign word of which سِبِتٌّ is an arabicized form; and it is made of the measure فِعِلٌّ because this measure has many examples; whereas the measure فِعِلٌّ, of which إِبِلٌ is an instance, is extraordinary. (
Msb.) شَبَّاثٌ: see what next follows.
شَبُّوثٌ and ↓ شَبَّاثٌ [so in the
CK and in my
MS. copy of the
K, but the latter is strangely said in the
TA to be with kesr,] sings. of شَبَابِيثُ, which signifies The flesh-hooks (كَلَالِيب) of the fire. (
