[See نَابِئٌ.] b3: نَبَأَتْ بِهِ الأَرْضُ i. q. جَآءَتْ به, The land brought, or led him: (S, L:) [accord. to Golius, The land brought, or produced, it: but it is a phrase well known to the learned among the Arabs in the present day, as similar to نَادَاهُ تُرَابُهُ “ his dust, or earth, (i. e. the place of his burial,) called him: ” and the explanation which I have given is confirmed by the citation, in the S, of the following verse, of Hanash Ibn-Málik, immediately after نبأت به in the sense of جاءت به:] فَنَفْسَكَ أَحْرِزْ فَإِنَّ الحُتُو فَ يَنْبَأْنَ بِالمَرْءِ فِى كُلِّ وَادْ [Then take good care of thyself; for deaths (of various kinds) bring (or lead) a man into every valley (or place): i. e., fate brings him to the place where he is destined to be buried, whereever it be].

(TA.) b2: Es-Semeen says, that انبأ and نبّأ and اخبر and خبّر, when they convey the meaning of knowledge, are triply transitive, or may govern three objective complements, the greatest number that any verb can govern: (TA:) [ex. أَنْبَأْتُ زَيْدًا عَمْرًا قَائِمًا I acquainted Zeyd that 'Amr was standing]. b3: It is also said, that ↓ نبّأ

has a more intensive signification than انبأ: ex.

مَنْ أَنْبَأَكَ هٰذَا قَالَ نَبَّأَنِى العَلِيمُ الخَبِيرُ [Who hath acquainted thee with this? He said, The Knowing, the Intelligent (God), hath apprized me: Kur, lxvi. 3]. (TA.) b4: Sb has mentioned أَنَا

A2: رَمَى فَأَنْبَأَ He cast, or shot, but did not split, or cleave, or make a slight cut, or scratch: (S, K:) or, did not penetrate. (K.) 5 تنبّأ, (S, K,) said to have been pronounced with ء universally; (Sb, S;) but in the L, تنبّى; (TA;) He arrogated to himself the gift of prophecy, or office of a prophet. (L, K.) 10 استنبأ النَّبَأَ He sought, or searched after, information, or news. (K.) b2: وَيَسْتَنْبِئُونَكَ أَحَقٌّ هُوَ (in the Kur, x. 54) means And they will ask thee to inform them, [saying,] Is it true? (Bd.) نَبَأٌ Information; a piece of information; intelligence; an announcement; news; tidings; a piece of news; an account; a narrative, or narration; a story: or what is related from another or others: syn. خَبَرٌ: (S, Msb, K:) it is generally held to be syn. with خَبَرٌ; but accord. to Er-Rághib, signifies an announcement of great utility, from which results either knowledge or a predominance of opinion, and true: (TA:) pl. أَنْبَآءُ. (K.) b2: النَّبَأُ العَظِيمُ [Kur, lxxviii. 2,] accord. to some, The Kur-án: others say, the resurrection: and others, the case of the Prophet. (TA.) b3: الأَنْبَآءُ, in the Kur, xxviii. 66, (فَعَمِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَنْبَآءُ) signifies The allegations, pleas, or excuses. (TA.) نَبْأَةٌ An eminence, or protuberance, in the earth, or ground.

(K.) نَبِىْءٌ, (S, K,) pronounced with ء in the dial. of the people of Mekkeh, (S,) whose pronunciation of it is disapproved by Sb on account of its uncommonness; (TA;) by others, نَبِىٌّ, without ء; (S, K, TA;) A prophet: (TA:) of the measure فَعِيلٌ used in the sense of the measure مُفْعل [i. e.

مُفْعِلٌ or مَفْعَلٌ] (IB) or فَاعِلٌ (S, Es-Sunoosee) or مَفْعُولٌ; (Es-Sunoosee) i. e., who acquaints or informs mankind, (S, K, TA,) or who is acquainted or informed, respecting God and things unseen: or accord. to some, it is derived from نَبْوَةٌ and نَبَاوَةٌ signifying “ elevation; ” (see art. نبو;) in which case it is originally without ء: or, accord. to others, from نَبِىْءٌ in a sense given below; that of “ a conspicuous way. ” (TA.) It is a less special word than رَسُولٌ [when thereby is meant an apostle of God]; for every رسول is a نبىّ, but not every نبىّ is a رسول. (TA.) Pl.

أَنْبِيَآءُ (S, K, without ء, because the ء is changed into ى in the sing., S,) and نُبَأءُ (S, K, like كُرَمَآءُ [pl. of كَرِيمٌ] TA,) and أَنْبَآءٌ [K, these two preserving the original radical ء] and نَبِيُّونَ, (K,) without ء: (TA:) but some pronounced the first and last of these pls., in the Kur-án, with ء; though the more approved pronunciation is without ء. (TA.) The dim. is نُبَيّئٌ, (S, K,) with those who make the pl. نُبَأءٌ [or أَنْبَآءٌ]; but with those who make the pl. أَنْبِيَآء, it is نُبَىٌّ. (K.) b2: An Arab of the desert said to Mohammad, يَا نَبِىْءَ اللّٰهِ, and the latter disapproved of his pronouncing نبىء in this case with ء, because, as it signifies An emigrant, he meant thereby to call him an emigrant from Mekkeh to El-Medeeneh. (S, K, TA.) b3: نَبِىْءٌ A conspicuous, an evident, or a clear, way. (K.) Hence, accord. to some, the apostle [or rather prophet] is so called, because he is the conspicuous, evident, way, that conducts to God. (MF.) b4: نَبِىْءٌ and ↓ نَابِئٌ An elevated, or a protuberant, or gibbous, place. (K.) b5: Hence it is said in a trad., لَا تُصَلُّوا عَلَى النَّبِىْءِ [Pray not upon the place that is elevated, or protuberant]. (K.) نُبُوْءَةٌ, (K, in the CK نُبُوَّة) in which the ء is sometimes softened in pronunciation, and sometimes [or rather generally] changed into و which is incorporated into the preceding و so that the word is written and pronounced نُبُوَّةٌ, (TA,) Prophecy; the gift of prophecy; the office, or function, of a prophet. (MA, K.) Dim. نُبَيِّئَةٌ. (S, K.) نَابِئٌ act. part. n. of نَبَأَ. b2: A bull [app. a ثَوْرٌ وَحْشِىٌّ] that goes forth from one land or country to another. (TA.) b3: A torrent that comes forth from another land or tract. (S.) b4: A man coming forth unexpectedly from an unknown quarter. (S, A.) b5: [See also نَبِىْءٌ.]

هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ نَابِئَةُ خَبَرٍ, i. q. جَائِبَةُ خَبَرٍ, [Have ye any current news? or — news from a distant place? &c.: see جائبة]. (A.)

(S.) انْتَسُوا and تَنَسَّوا occur in two readings of a trad., for انْتَسِئُوا, (which is the correct reading,) in this sense. (TA.) [Hence it appears that ↓ تنسّأ, accord. to some, also signifies he retired, &c.]10 استنسأهُ He asked him to postpone or to grant him a delay in, the payment of his debt. (S, K.)

نَسَآءٌ Length of life. (Akh, S, K.) b2: The Fakeeh of the Arabs [El-Hárith Ibn-Keledeh, as said in the Mz, close of 39th نوع, where the following is quoted,] says, مَنْ سَرَّهُ النَّسَآءُ وَلَا نَسَآءَ فَلْيُخَفِّفِ الرِّدَآءَ وَلْيُبَاكِرِ الغَدَآءَ وَلْيُؤَخِّرِ العَشَآءَ وَلْيُقِلَّ غِشْيَانَ النِّسَآءِ [Let him whom length of life rejoiceth (but there is no long endurance in life) lighten his debts, and make his morning-meal early, and delay his evening-meal, and take little enjoyment in women]: (S, * TA:) الرداء here means debt. (T, M, TA, in art. ردى, where this saying is cited with some variations.) نَسِىْءٌ, of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (S,) A month which the Arabs, in the time of paganism, postponed: (K:) the doing of which is forbidden in the Kur, ix. 37. (S.) b2: Also, as an inf. n. of نَسَأَ, (which it is also said to be in the L,) The postponing of a month: i. e., the postponing of the sacredness of a month; transferring it to another month. When the Arabs returned from Mina, [after the accomplishment of the pilgrimage,] it was customary for a man of the tribe of Kináneh to arise and say, أَنَا الَّذِى لَا يُرَدُّ لِى قَضَآءٌ [“ I am he whose decree is not to be rejected ”]; (S;) or إِنِّى لَا أُحَابُ وَلَا أُعَابُ وَلَا يُرَدُّ قَوْلِى, or ولا يردّ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ; [“ Verily I am not to be accused of a sin, nor am I to be charged with a fault, nor is my saying, (or decree,) to be rejected; ”] (TA;) whereupon they would say, أَنْسِئْنَا شَهْرًا [“ Postpone for us a month ”]; i. e., “ Postpone for us the sacredness of El-Mo- harram, and transfer it to Safar: ” for they disliked that three months during which they might not make predatory expeditions should come upon them consecutively, as their subsistence was obtained by such expeditions: so he made ElMoharram free from restriction to them. (S.) [But this, as appears from what is said in the Kur, ix. 37, was not done every year.] The tribes of Teiyi and Khath'am did not observe the sacred months; therefore the نَاسِئ (or postponer) proclaimed it lawful to slay them therein, when they were aggressors. (TA.) b3: [The term نَسِىْء appears also to have been applied to The postponement of the time of the pilgrimage; which was another custom of the Pagan Arabs, mentioned under this word in the TA.] The Arabs, liking that the day of their return from pilgrimage should always be at one season of the year, postponed it every year eleven days; at the same time keeping sacred the two months in which the pilgrimage took place, and the month next after those two, and also the month of Rejeb, at whatever season this fell. (TA.) [For the same purpose, at one time, they used to intercalate a month in the third and sixth and eight of every eight years. See Kur, ix. 36, where the prohibition of this custom is implied; and Sale's Prel. Disc., § vii.]. b4: See نَسْءٌ. b5: نَسِىْءٌ (K, TA) and ↓ نَسِيْئَةٌ and ↓ نُسْأَةٌ, (S, K,) like كُلْأَةٌ, (S,) A postponement, or delay, as to the time of the payment of a debt, or of the price of a thing sold, &c. (S, K, TA.) The first is a subst.; (K;) and also an inf. n.; (L;) [and each of the others seems to be sometimes used as such]. b6: ↓ بَاعَهُ بِنَسِيْئَةٍ, and ↓ بِنُسْأَةٍ, (as also بِكُلْأَةٍ, S,) He sold it on credit; for payment to be made at a future period. (S, K, TA.) نَسِيْئَةٌ: see نَسِىْءٌ. b2: Also, A debt of which the payment is deferred by the creditor to a future period. (TA.) b3: A sale upon credit, in which the payment is deferred to a certain, or definite, period. (TA.) نَاسِئٌ, pl. نَسَأَةٌ (S) and نَاسِئُونَ, (TA,) One whose office it was to perform the act called نَسِىْء; i. e., the postponing of a month: (S, TA:) he was also called قَلَمَّسٌ, pl. قَلَامِسُ. (TA.) A2: نَاسِئٌ Anything fat: or beginning to grow fat: in the K it is said, كُلُّ نَاسِئٍ سَمِينٌ: in the L, كلّ سمين ناسئ, which is more proper. (TA.) مَنْسَأَةٌ: see 1. b2: صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ مَثْرَاةٌ فِى المَالِ مَنْسَأَةٌ فِى الأَثَرِ [Union with kindred is a means of multiplying wealth, a means of prolonging one's memorial]. (TA, from a trad.) A2: See مِنْسَأَةٌ.

مِنْسَأَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ مَنْسَأَةٌ, (K,) and also without ء, (S, K,) A staff, or stick: so called because a beast is urged or driven with it: (K:) a pastor's great staff. (TA.) For مِنْسَأَتَهُ, in the Kur, xxxiv. 13, some read مِنْ سَأَتِهِ; i. e. “ from, or of, the end of his staff; ” سأَة originally signifying the “ bent part at each end of a bow; ” (Fr, TA, &c.;) and being here used tropically. (TA.) This reading is disapproved by the author of the K. but is supported by good authorities. (TA.) مُنْتَسَأٌ An interval; a distance; a space. (S.) إِنَّ لِى عَنْكَ لَمُنْتَسَأٌ Verily I am far from thee. (S.)

نَشِيْئَةٌ The first part that is made of a tank, or cistern. (ISk, S, K.) b2: بَادِى النّشيْئة A tank, or cistern, of which the water is dried up, and the bottom apparent. (S.) b3: Also, نشيئة The stone that is placed in the bottom of a tank, or cistern. (A'Obeyd, S, K.) b4: The earth that is behind the نَصَائِب, (K,) which are the stones that are set up around the tank, the interstices between which stones are filled up with kneaded clay: (TA:) or it is said to signify what is constructed round the tank; also called أَعْضَادٌ. (TA.) b5: نشيئةُ البِئْرِ The earth that is taken forth from the well. (TA.) b6: نَشِيْئَةٌ What is fresh and green of the plant which is called, when dry, طَرِيفَةٌ. (K, * TA.) b7: And (which is nearly as above, L,) The plants نَصِىّ and صِلِّيَان: (L, K:) or accord. to AHn, the plant called تَفِرَة, when it has become a little thick, and high, and is yet fresh and green: (TA:) or, (as he says on another occasion, TA,) what has sprung, or sprouted up, of any plant, and not yet become thick; as also ↓ نَشْأَةٌ. (K.) See نَاشِئٌ, at the end.

نَاشِئٌ A young person past the age of puberty: (TA:) or a boy or girl past the age of childhood: (S, K:) or a comely young man: (IAar:) or a youth who has attained the stature of a man: (AHeyth:) a girl, as well as a boy, is called thus; (TA;) and they also say, جَارِيَةٌ نَاشِئَةٌ. (AA.) Pl. نَشْءٌ and نَشَأٌ (S, K [or these two are rather quasi-pl. ns.,] or the ↓ former is an inf. n. used as an epithet, Aboo-Moosa,) and نَاشِئُونَ (AHeyth) and نَواشِئُ: (TA:) or the last is a pl. of ناشئ as applied to a girl. (MF.) Lth says that ↓ نَشْءٌ signifies Young people; or youths; and is used in the sing. also: ex. هُوَ نَشْءُ سَوْءٍ He is a bad youth: and he says that he had never heard ناشئ used as an epithet for a girl. Fr says that the ء of the pl. نَشْءٌ is sometimes suppressed, and they say, in the nom. نَشُو صدْقٍ

[Excellent youths]; acc., نَشَا صدق; gen. نَشِى

صدق. (TA.) b2: نَاشِئٌ Clouds not completely collected together. Hence, it is said, is derived the expression نَشَأَ الصَّبِىُّ; which is therefore tropical. (TA.) b3: نَاشِئٌ Whatever happens (and, perhaps, appears TA,) in the night: pl. نَاشِئَةٌ; (K;) a strange form of pl. of a word of the measure قَاعِلٌ: (M, F:) or نَاشِئَةٌ [see Kur, lxxiii. 6,] is an inf. n. (K) in the sense of قِيَامٌ: (TA:) AM says, that ناشئةُ اللَّيْلِ signifies قيام الليل the rising in the night: (TA:) or ناشئة signifies the first part of the night, and of the day: or the first of the hours of the night: (S, K:) or a pious act of the night; i. e., performed in the night: (S:) or every hour of the night in which one rises: (K:) or every hour of the night: (Zj:) or a rising after a sleeping, (K,) in the first part of the night; (TA;) as also ↓ نَشِيْئَةٌ. (K.) مَنْشَأٌ The place of origination of anything, properly and tropically; its source.]

مُنْشَأٌ and ↓ مُسْتَنْشَأٌ A beacon, or sign of the way, raised and pointed. (K.) [See the verbs.]

b2: Also, the former, An elevated hill. b3: الجَوَارِى المسْشَآتُ [Kur, lv. 24,] The ships with elevated sails: (Mujáhid, S, K:) or, accord. to one reading, ↓ المُنْشِئَاتُ, The ships elevating their sails: (TA:) or, advancing and retiring; or coming and going: (Fr:) or, commencing their courses. (TA.) نَاقَةٌ مُنْشِئٌ A she-camel that has conceived: (K:) of the dial. of Hudheyl. (TA.) b2: See مُنْشَأٌ.

مُسْتَنْشَأٌ: see مُنْشَأٌ.

مُسْتَنْشِئَةٌ, (K,) also without ء, (TA,) A female diviner: (K:) so called because she seeks, or searches after, news: see the verb: or from انشأ “ he originated: ” (TA:) or مُسْتَنْشِئَةُ, without tenween, is the proper name of a certain female diviner, (T,) one of the Muwelledehs (مُوَلَّدَات) of Kureysh, in the time of Mohammad. (TA.)

ني

أ1 نَآءَ, aor. ـِ (so in the S, Nh, L, Msb; but in some copies of the K, يناءُ, [which appears to be put by mistake for the inf. n. in the acc. case];) inf. n. نَىْءٌ, (S,) and نَىٌّ, without ء, and نَوْءٌ, (Sh,) It (flesh meat, &c.) was not, or did not become, sufficiently cooked; it was insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) (like نَهِئَ:) or it was untouched by fire; (i. e., raw]. (L.) b2: It (a thing) was not firmly, not soundly, not thoroughly, done. [See 4.] (TA.) 2 نَيَّاَ see 4.4 اناء الأَمْرَ He did the thing not firmly, not soundly, not thoroughly. الامر ↓ نيّأ, accord. to the K, signifies the same: but this is unknown, and not authorized by transmission [from the Arabs of the classical ages], and therefore not mentioned by IM nor by other leading lexicographers: the correct phrases are [when the verb is intrans.] ناء الامرُ [and اللحمُ], and [when it is trans.] اناء اللحمَ [and الامر]: the forms of the verb being like بَانَ and أَبَانَ. (TA.) b2: اناء, (S, incorrectly written in the K أَنْيَأَ, TA,) inf. n. إِنَآءَةٌ, He insufficiently cooked flesh-meat [&c.]. (S, K.) نِىْءٌ Flesh meat &c. insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) or untouched by fire; [i. e., raw]. (L.) It was also pronounced by the Arabs نِىٌّ; but the original word is with ء. (TA.) b2: Wine untouched by the fire: cooked [or mulled] wine being called نَضِيجٌ, (TA [written نِىٌّ, without ء]). b3: Pure [and sweet] milk: sour milk being called نضيج: or milk just drawn from the udder, before it is put into the skin. (TA [written نِىٌّ, without ء.]) نَىٌّ [for نَىْءٌ] Fat, as contradistinguished from flesh, [which is app. called نَضِيجٌ]. (TA.) نُيُوْءٌ and نُيُوْءَةٌ The state of being insufficiently cooked: (S, K:) or of being untouched by fire; [i. e., rawness]. (L.)

نضب

1 نَضَبَ, aor. ـُ (S, K, &c.) and also نَضِبَ, (Msb,) which latter is strange, (MF,) inf. n. نُضُوبٌ; (S, K, &c.;) and ↓ نضّب; (K;) It (water) sank into the earth; disappeared in the earth: (S, M, K, &c.:) and became low: (S:) became remote. (S, M.) b2: نَضَبَ الحَوْضُ, occurring in a verse cited by Th, [The water of the tank or cistern, sank into the earth]. (TA.) b3: نَضَبَتْ عُيُونُ الطَّائِفِ [The sources of El-Táïf became dried up]. (A.) b4: مَا نَضَبَ عَنْهُ البَحْرُ وَهُوَ حَىٌّ فَمَاتَ فَكُلُوهُ That from which the water of the sea has become exhausted, and has dried up, it being alive, and which has then died, eat ye it. (TA, from a trad.) b5: كُنَّا عَلَى شَاطِئِ النَّهْرِ بِالْأَهْوَازِ وَقَدْ نَضَبَ عَنْهُ المَاءُ [We were on the bank of the river in El-Ahwáz, and the water had sunk, or receded, from it, leaving it dry]. (TA, from a trad.) b6: نَضَبَتْ عَيْنُهُ, (aor.

نَضُبَ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, TA,) (tropical:) His eye sank, or became depressed, in the socket: or it is only said of the eye of a she-camel. (K.) b7: نَضَبَ It (herbage and the like, that had been abundant,) became little, or scanty: (K:) or failed altogether. (TA.) b8: نَضَبَ is met. used with reference to accidents [as it is properly with respect to substances]: thus it is said in a trad., نَضَبَ عُمْرُهُ (tropical:) His life passed away, or ended. (IAth.) This is what F means by saying نَضَبَ فُلَانٌ signifies مَاتَ, (tropical:) Such a one died. (TA.) b9: نَضَبَ خَيْرُهُ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, (tropical:) His goodness, or beneficence, became little. (Az.) b10: نَضَبَ مَاءُ وَجْهِهِ (tropical:) He was not ashamed. (TA.) A2: نَضَبَ, (inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, TA,) (tropical:) It (a desert) was far-extending. (K.) b2: نَضَبَ, inf. n. نُضُوبٌ, (tropical:) It (a people, or party,) was, or became, distant. (S.) b3: نَضَبَ (tropical:) It (a people, or party,) strove, or used exertion, [app., in a journey.] (TA.) A3: نَضَبَ, aor. ـُ It (a thing, TA,) flowed, and ran (K.) By our saying “ a thing,” we mean to exclude water, though water is included in the definition of a thing: so that we need not infer from what is said in the K that the verb bears two contr. significations. (TA.) [But this observation appears to me to be scarcely admissible.]

b2: نَضَبَتِ الدَّبَرَةُ [in the copies of the K in my hands, written دَبْرَة] The sore on the back of a camel &c. became severe. (K.) نَضَبَ الدَّبَرُ (tropical:) The scar of the sore became severe and deep in the back. (A.) A4: نَضَبَ الثَّوْبَ He pulled off the garment. (Msb.) 2 نَضَّبَ see 1 b2: نضّبت, inf. n. تَنْضِيبٌ, She (a camel) had little milk; and her flow thereof became slow; (K;) and her milk was long in flowing again into her udder after each previous milking. (TA.) 4 انضب القَوْسَ He pulled the string of the bow, in order that it might make a sound: like أَنْبَضَهَا: (K:) the former verb is [said to be] an original syn. of the latter; (TA;) [and if so, it has an inf. n., as shown below:] or he pulled the string of the bow, and then let it go, to make it twang: or he pulled the string of the bow without an arrow, and then let it go, to make it twang: (TA:) or he caused the bow to make a sound, or twang: (AHn, L:) انضب وَتَرَ القَوْسِ is the same as أَنْبَضَهُ, of which it is a transp. syn. (S.) AHn, gives to it the inf. n. إِنْضَابٌ; and yet asserts it to be formed by transposition: but this is absurd; for verbs so formed have not inf. ns.; as mentioned by Sb and Aboo-'Alee and the rest of the skilful grammarians. (Abu-l-Hasan.) See قَلَبَ.

غَضِيرٌ نَاضِبٌ A pool of which the water has sunk into the earth. (A.) b2: [So] ↓ عين مُنَضِّبَةٌ A source of which the water has sunk into the earth; [a source that has become dried up]. (A.) b3: خَرْقٌ نَاضبٌ (tropical:) [A deep hole: or a far extending desert]: syn. بَعِيدٌ. (S, TA.) b4: إِنَّ فُلَانًا لَنَاضِبُ الخَيْرِ (tropical:) Verily such a one is a person of little good, or beneficence. (Az.) b5: نَاضِبٌ (tropical:) Distant; remote: (As, S:) an epithet applied to water and anything. (TA.) b6: جَرْىٌ نَاضِبٌ (assumed tropical:) A far-extending run. (TA.) تَنْضُبٌ, a coll. gen. n., [I find it said to have been written with tenween by J himself: but it appears to have been also used as a generic proper name; and as such, having the measure of a verb, it must be written تَنْضُبُ, being imperfectly declinable:] A certain tree: the ت is augmentative, because there is no word of the measure فَعْلُلٌ; whereas there are words of the measure تَفْعُلُ, as تَقْتُلُ and تَخْرُجُ: n. un. تَنْضُبَةٌ: (S:) a certain tree of El-Hijáz: (K:) it grows large, in the form, or manner, of the سَرْح, having white and thick branches; and folds, such as are called حَظَائِر, are made of it: [this is the only meaning I can assign to the words وهو محتظر, supposing بِهِ to be omitted after محنظر, though يُحْنَظَرُ would be better:] its leaves are contracted; and it always appears as though it were dry and dusty, though growing: (TA:) its thorns are like those of the عَوْسَج: (K, TA:) and it has a fruit [called مَغْدٌ (L, K, art. مغد)] like small grapes, which is eaten, of a reddish colour: AHn says, that its smoke is white, of the colour of dust; and that poets therefore liken dust to it: and in one place he says, that it is a large tree, without leaves [properly so called], which has a trunk, and from which grow thick boughs, with many branches; its leaves [if such they may be called] being only shoots, which are eaten by the camels and sheep and goats: Aboo-Nasr says, that it is a tree having short thorns: not of the trees that grow on lofty mountains; frequented by chameleons: [see حِرْبَاءٌ, in art. حرب: and see an ex. in a verse cited voce سَاقٌ:] ISd thinks that it is thus called because of its little sap: AM says, that it is a large tree, from which are cut tentpoles: (TA:) and Ibn-Selemeh says, that it is a tree from which arrows are made. (S.) b2: نُوقٌ كَقِدَاحِ التَّنْضُبِ [She-camels like arrows made of the wood of the tendub]. (TA).

نقاب which they used reached close to the eye, and they showed one eye while the other was concealed; whereas the [kind of] نقاب, which only shows both the eyes [without their circuits] was called by them وَصْوَصَةٌ [a mistake for وَصْوَاصٌ] and تُرْقُعٌ: [in the original, والنقاب لا يبدومنه الّا العينان وكان اسمه الخ: but the و before كان is erroneously introduced, and perverts the sense, which is otherwise plain, and agreeable with what is said before:] then they innovated the [veil] properly called] نقاب: (A'Obeyd:) pl. نَقُبٌ. (Msb.) A2: نِقَابٌ and ↓ مِنَقَبٌ A road through a rugged tract of ground: (K:) the former word used both as a sing and a pl. (TA.) A3: نِقَابٌ (a strange form of epithet, MF,) (tropical:) A man of great knowledge; very knowing: (S, K:) or possessing a knowledge of things, or affairs: or, as also ↓ مِنعقَبٌ, mentioned by I Ath and Z, a man possessing a knowledge of things, who scrutinizes or investigates them much; who is intelligent, and enters deeply into things. (TA.) A4: نقَابٌ The bello, Hence the proverb, فَرْخَانِ فِى نِقَابٍ [Two young birds in one belly]: applied to two things that resemble one another, (K.) In like manner one says كَانَا فِى نقاب وَاحد [They were in one belly]; meaning they were like each other, (A.) نَقِيبٌ i. q. مَنْقُوبٌ, A thing perforated, pierced, bored. or having a hole made through, or in. or into it. (TA.) b2: نَقِيبٌ A musical reed, or pipe. (K.) b3: The tongue of a pair of scales, or balance (K.) b4: A dog having the upper part of his mindpipe (غَلْصَمَتُهُ: so in the S, K or having his windpipe, حَنْجَرَتُهُ: so in the A) perforated, (S, K,) in order that his cry may be weak: a base man performs this operation on his dog, in order that guests may not hear its cry. (S: and the like is said in the L.) A2: نَقِيبُ قُوْمٍ The intendant, superintendent, overseer, or inspector, of a people; he who takes notice, or cognisance, of their actions, and is responsible for them; i. q. عَرِيفُهُمْ and شَاهِدُهُمْ and ضَمِيُهُمْ: (S, K:) like أَمِينٌ and كَفِيلٌ: (Zj:) their head, or chief: (TA:) like عَرِيفٌ [q. v.]; i. e., one who is set over a people, and investigates their affairs: (L:) or, as some say, the greatest, or supreme, chief of a people: so called [from نَقَبَ “ he scrutinized, or investigated,”] because he is acquainted with the secret affairs of the people, and knows their virtues, or generous actions, and is the way by which one obtains knowledge of their affairs: (TA:) pl. نُقَبَاءُ. (S.) نِقَابَةٌ The office of نَقِيب. (Sb: see 1.) نَقِيبَةٌ Mind: syn. نَفْسٌ. (S, K,) You say فُلَانٌ مَيْمُونُ النقيبةِ Such a one is of a fortunate mind, (A'Obeyd, S,) when the person referred to is fortunate in his affairs, succeeding in what he seeks after, or strives to accomplish: (ISk, S:) or when he is fortunate in his counsel, or advice: (Th, S:) or the phrase signifies such a one is fortunate in his actions, and in gaining what he seeks. (TA.) See also what follows. نَقِيبَةٌ is also said, in the K, to signify the same as عَقْلٌ (understanding, intellect, or intelligence); but, says SM, I have not found this in any other lexicon: only I have found the word explained in the L as signifying يُمْنُ الفِعْلِ (good fortune attending, or resulting from, an action): so probably عَقْلٌ is a mistake for فِعْلٌ. (TA.) b2: Also, Counsel, or advice. (K.) See above. b3: Also, Penetration of judgment; acuteness; sagacity. (Ibn-Buzurj, K.) b4: Also, Nature; or natural, or native, disposition, temper, or other quality: (K:) i. q. نَقِيمَةٌ and عَرِيكَةٌ and طَبِيعَةٌ. (T, art. عرك.) Agreeably with this explanation, the phrase above mentioned is rendered in the T, in art. عرك, Such a one is of a fortunate nature, or natural disposition: (TA:) or it signifies, in this phrase, as also نقيمة, i. q. لَوْنٌ, Colour, complexion, species, &c. (IAar.) Also هُوَ حَسَنُ النَّقِيبَةِ He is of a good nature, or natural disposition: and in like manner, جَمِيلَةٍ ↓ فُلَانٌ فِى مَنَاقِبَ Such a one is a person of good dispositions, or natural qualities. (L.) A2: نَقِيبَةٌ A she-camel having a large udder: (ISd, K:) having her udder bound up with a cloth or the like, on account of its greatness and excellence: but AM says this is a corruption, and that the correct word is ثقيبة, with ث, meaning a she-camel “ abounding with milk. ” (TA.) نَقَّابَةٌ: see نَقْبٌ.

نَاقِب and نَاقِبَةٌ [the former omitted in some copies of the K] A disease that befalls a man in consequence of long sluggishness, or indolence: (K:) or, as some say, the ulcer that arises in the side. (TA.) See نَقْبٌ.

أَنْقَابٌ, a pl. without a sing., The ears: (M, K,) or, accord. to some, its sing. is نُقْبٌ. (TA.) El-Katámee says, كَانَتْ خُدُودُ هِجَانِهِنَّ مُمَالَةً

أَنْقَابُهُنَّ إِلَى حُدَآءِ السُّوَّقِ [The cheeks of their white camels were with their ears inclined to the singing of the drivers]. But

أَنَقًا بِهِنَّ, “by reason of their pleasure,” is also read, for أَنْقَابُهُنَّ: (TA:) [so that the meaning is The cheeks of their white camels were inclined, by reason of their pleasure. to the singing of the drivers].

مَنْقَبٌ The navel: or [a place] before it: (K:) where the farrier makes a perforation in order that a yellow fluid may issue forth: (S:) so in a horse. (TA.) b2: See نَقْبٌ.

مِنْقَبٌ An iron instrument with which a farrier perforates the navel of a beast of carriage (S, K) in order that a yellow fluid may issue forth. (S.) See مَنْقَبٌ, and نِقَابٌ.

مَنْقَبَةٌ: see نَقْبٌ. b2: A narrow way between two houses, (L, K,) along which one cannot pass. (L.) It is said in a trad., that one does not possess the right of pre-emption (الشُّفْعَة) with respect to a منقبة; and this word is explained as signifying a wall: syn. حَائِطٌ: [and so in the K:] or a way between two houses, as though it were perforated from one to the other: or a road, or way, over an elevated piece of ground. (L.) A2: مَنْقَبَةٌ A virtue; an excellence; contr. of مَثْلَبَةٌ: (S:) a cause of glorying: (K:) generosity of action, or conduct: (L:) a [good disposition, or natural quality: [see نَقِيبَةٌ:] (TA:) a memorable, or generous action, and [good] internal quality: (A:) pl. مَنَاقِبُ: (TA:) رجُلٌ ذُو مَنَاقِبَ A man of memorable, or generous, actions, and [good] internal qualities.

(IAth, from a trad.) A2: نَبِيثٌ A species of sea-fish; accord. to IAar; but it is also said, on his authority, that it is called يَنْبِيثٌ; therefore it seems that one of these two words is a mistake for the other, or that they are two dial. forms. See also بَيْنِيثٌ, in art. بنث. (TA.) A3: خَبِيثٌ نَبِيثٌ (tropical:) Very bad, evil, wicked, or corrupt: (K:) applied to a man: (TA:) the latter word is an imitation sequent to the former. (S, and some copies of the K.) A4: أَبْدَى نَبِيثَةَ القَوْمِ, and نَبَائِثَهُمْ, (tropical:) [He revealed the elicited secret of the people, and their elicited secrets].
