A2: Also The stones of زَاج [or vitriol]: (
K:) or the stones from which زاج and the like thereof are obtained; the best whereof is that which is brought from El-Yemen, which is white شبّ, and is very glistening: (
TA:) [but شَبٌّ يَمَانِىٌّ, as also شَبٌّ alone, is a name now commonly given to alum:] or it is a certain thing resembling زاج: (
S,
Msb:) or a species thereof:
accord. to El-
Fárábee, the stones from which come زاج and the like:
Az says, it is one of the minerals produced by God in the earth, with which one tans, and resembling زاج, and the name [correctly] heard is thus, with ب, but is by some mistranscribed with the three-dotted ث, [i. e. شَثٌّ,] which is a kind of tree of bitter taste, and I know not whether one tans with it or not:
accord. to
Mtr, in the saying that one tans with شبّ, this word is a mistranscription; for شبّ is a dye, and one does not tan with a dye; it is mistranscribed for شَثّ, which is a kind of tree like the dwarf apple-tree, whereof the leaves are like those of the خِلَاف [
q. v.], and with them one tans: El-
Fárábee also says, in the section of ث, that the شَثّ is a species of mountain-tree, with which one tans: from all which it appears that one tans with both of them; for an affirmation is to be preferred to a negation: (
Msb:) and it is a well-known medicine; (
K,
TA;) as some say: so
accord. to the correct copies of the
K, in some of which, دَآءٌ is put for دَوَآءٌ. (
TA.) شُبّ and دُبّ, though originally verbs, are used as nouns, by the introduction of مِنْ before them: one says, أَعْيَيْتَنِى مِنْ شُبَّ إِلَى دُبَّ and مِنْ شُبّ ٍ
إِلَى دُبّ ٍ [
expl. in art. دبَ]: (
S:) and in like manner they are used in another saying
expl. in art. دب [
q. v.]: (
S in that art.:) or, without tenween, they may be regarded as verbs used in the way of حِكَايَة [or imitation]. (
MF.) شَبَّةٌ The burning, burning up, burning brightly or fiercely, blazing, or flaming, of fire. (
TA.) شَبَبٌ and ↓ شَبُوبٌ, applied to a [bovine antelope of the species called the] wild bull, (
As,
S,
K,) and to a sheep or goat, (

K,) Advanced in age, or full-grown, (مُسِنٌّ,

TA:) or ↓ شبُوبٌ, (
AA,
K,) applied to both, (
K,) as also ↓ مُشِبٌّ, (
TA,) or to a bull, (
AA,) is
syn. with ↓ شابٌّ [meaning youthful, or in the prime of life]: (
AA,
K,
TA:) and
accord. to
AO, شَبَبٌ, applied to a bull, means that has attained to the end of شَبَاب [i. e. youthfulness, or the prime of life]: (
S,
TA:) or, as some say, that has attained to the end of his full growth and strength; as also ↓ شَبُوبٌ, which is likewise applied to the female; or,
accord. to
AHát and
ISh, when he is a year old, and weaned, he is called دَبَبٌ; and then, شَبَبٌ [meaning more than a year old]; and the female, شَبَبةٌ. (
TA.) شَبَابٌ and ↓ شَبِيبَةٌ [both mentioned above as
inf. ns.] (
S,
Msb,
K) [and ↓ شَبَابِيَّةٌ which is a simple
subst.] Youth, youthfulness, the prime of man-hood, or young manhood;
syn. فَتَآءٌ; (
K;) or حَدَاثَةٌ;
contr. of شَيْبٌ: (
S:) or the state from puberty to the completion of thirty years; or from sixteen years to thirty-two; after which a man is called كَهْلٌ; (
TA;) the age before الكُهُولَة: (
Msb:) or the state between thirty and forty: (
Mgh:) or,
accord. to Mohammad Ibn-Habeeb, the state from the seventeenth year to the completion of fifty-one years is termed ↓ شَبَابِيَّةٌ; the period before, from birth, being termed غُلُومِيَّةٌ; and in the period after, a man being called شَيْخٌ, until he dies. (
TA.) One says, سَقَى اللّٰهُ عَصْرَ
↓ الشَبِيبَةِ [May God freshen as with rain the times, or mornings, or afternoons, of youth, &c.], and عُصُورَ الشَّبَائِبِ [the times, &c., of the states of youth, &c.]. (
A,
TA.)
b2: [شَبَابٌ often signifies (assumed
tropical:) The sap, or vigour, of youth or young manhood.] One says, اِسْتَحَارَ شَبَابُهَا, as in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, (assumed
tropical:) The sap [or vigour] of youth (مَآءٌ الشَّبَابِ) flowed in her. (
IB,
TA in art. حير.) and اِمْتَلَأَ شَبَابًا (assumed

tropical:) The freshness, or brightness, and beauty, of youth. (
Har p. 340.) [And ↓ شَبِيبَةٌ
app. signifies also (assumed
tropical:) Youthful folly, or the like; (see an
ex. voce غَمْرَةٌ;) and so, probably, does شَبَابٌ.]
b3: [Hence,] شَبَابٌ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) The first, or beginning, or the new, or recent, state, of a thing; (
K,
TA;) and so ↓ شَبِيبَةٌ. (
TA.) One says, قَدِمَ فِى شَبَابِ الشَّهْرِ (
A,

Lh,
TA:) or شَبَابُ النَّهَارِ means the period when the sun has risen high, when one fifth of the day has passed. (A in art. رأد.) And one says also ↓ فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ فِى شَبِيبَتِهِ He did that at the commencement thereof. (

K,) [or making to appear bright and beautiful,] or for increasing, or enhancing, and strengthening, [or heightening, in beauty,] (

tropical:) This is a thing that serves for increasing, or enhancing, [or heightening, in beauty,] to such a thing. (
S,
