لبث
1 لَبِثَ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. لَبْثٌ (which is
contr. to
analogy, because the
inf. n. of an
intrans. v. of the measure فَعِلَ is,
accord. to rule, of the measure فَعَلٌ,
S,) and لَبَيثٌ (agreeably with
analogy, occurring in a verse of Jereer,
S,) and لَبَاثٌ (

K) and لُبْثٌ (which is the first form given by
ISd)
TA, [and the most common,]) and لُبَاثٌ and لَبَاثَةٌ and لَبِيثَةٌ, (

contr. to
analogy, (
TA,) and لُبْثَانٌ, (
ISd,) [this last, which is also
contr. to
analogy, is said in the
TA, to be like سحبان, but this I suppose to be a mistake for سُبْحَان,] or لُبْثٌ and لَبَاثٌ are substs., (
