(Lh.) See above. IAar says, I heard an Arab of the desert say, أَكْتَبْتُ فَمَ

↓ السِّقَاء فَلَمْ يَسْتَكْتِبْ I bound the mouth of the سقاء, but it did not become fast bound, or closed, because of its hardness and thickness. (TA.) A4: كَتَبَ النَّاقَةَ He used art to make the she-camel take a liking to that which was not her own young one, and put something as a ring through her nostrils, lest she should smell the بَوّ, (in some copies of the K, بَوْل; but this is a mistake; TA,) and not have a fondness for it. (TA.) A5: كَتَبَ (tropical:) He collected a كَتِيبَة. (TA.) See also 2.2 كَتَّبَ See 1 and 4 A2: كتّب النَّاقَةَ, inf. n. تَكْتِيبٌ, He tied the udder of the camel. (Az, S.)

(Msb.) The slave in this case is called مُكَاتَبٌ (S, Msb) and also مُكَاتِبٌ; and so is the master; the act being mutual. (Msb.) [But the lawyers in the present day call the slave مُكَاتَبٌ only; and the master, مُكَاتِبٌ.] الكِتَابَةُ, signifying “ what is written, ” is tropically used by the professors of practical law as syn. with المُكَاتَبَةُ, because the contract above mentioned was generally written; and is so used by them when nothing is written. It was thus called in the age of el-Islám, accord. to Az. These two words are said by Z to be syn.; but it is thought that he may have written the former by mistake for الكِتَابُ, adding the ة by a slip of the pen. (Msb.) 4 اكتب He dictated. (S, K.) Ex. أَكْتِبْنِى

هٰذِهِ القَصِيدَةَ Dictate to me this ode. (S.) b2: اكتب and ↓ كتّب He taught the art of writing. (K.)

(TA.) مَكْتَبٌ (S, K) and ↓ كُتَّابٌ (Lth, S, &c.)

أَحْيَاءً وَأَمْوَاتًا [Have we not made the earth a place which comprehends the living and the dead? meaning كِفَاتَ أَحْيَاءٍ وَأَمْوَاتٍ:] (S:) EshShaabee, pointing to the houses of El-Koofeh, said, هٰذِهِ كِفَاتُ الأَحْيَاءش; and then, turning to its tombs, he said, هٰدهِ كِفَاتُ الأَمْوَاتِ; meaning to explain the above text of the Kur: but ISd thinks, that كفاتا in this text is an inf. n., and that احياء and امواتا are governed by it in the acc. case.

[Golius omits this; but mentions, as on the authority of Ibn-Maaroof, خَرِتَ, signifying He was skilful, or expert, in showing the way. What Ibn-Maaroof says, however, is that the inf. n. خَرَتٌ signifies the being acquainted with a road; and, with a place. See خِرِّيتُ.]

خَرْتٌ: see what next follows, in two places.

خُرْتٌ The perforation, bore, or hole, (S, A, K,) of a needle; [i. e. its eye;] (S, A; [see also خُرْتَةٌ;] and of the ear, (S,) or in the ear, [but see خُرْتَةٌ,] &c.; (A, K;) and of the فَأْس, [i. e. hoe, or adz, or axe,] (S, A, TA,) meaning, of the handle thereof; (A, TA;) as also خُرَةٌ; (Fr, TA in art. خرو;) [see again خُرْتَةٌ;] and ↓ خَرْتٌ signifies the same: (A, K:) pl.

(TA.) [Hence the phrase,] قَلِقَ خُرْتُ فُلَانٍ [lit. The rings of the fore-girths of the camels of such a one became unsteady; meaning] (tropical:) the state of such a one became disordered, or perverted. (A, TA.) And similar to this are the phrases, رَادَ خُرْتُ القَوْمِ and رَادَتْ

أَخْرَاتُهُمْ, [in the TA زاد and زادت, but the comparison evidently shows that the verbs should be راد and رادت,] said of a people when they do not receive or entertain hospitably him who alights at their place of abode: so says IAar on the authority of Es-Saloolee.

(TA.) خُرْتَةٌ: see خُرْتٌ. b2: Its pl. أَخْرَاتٌ, [also pl. of ↓ خُرْتٌ, (see خُبْنٌ,)] in the formation of which the ة of the sing. seems to have been considered as elided, also signifies The loops of a [leathern water-bag such as is called] مَزَادَة: it is said in the T that in the مزادة are its اخرات, the loops between which is the قَصَبَة [commonly signifying cane, or reed, but here app. meaning the mouth, which has the form of a short cylinder, and is in the middle of the upper part of the مزادة, between the two loops, these being at the two upper corners], whereby [app. referring to the اخرات] it is carried [and suspended on the side of a camel, counterpoised by another مزادة on the other side of the camel]: and AM adds that one says [also] أَخْرَابُ المَزَادَةِ, sing. خُرْبَةٌ [q. v.]; and in like manner, خُرْبَةُ الأُذُنِ [“ the bore of the ear ” ]; with ب: and غُلَامٌ أَخْرَبُ الأُذُنَيْنِ [“ a boy having his ears pierced, or bored ”]: he says, also, that the خُرْتَة, with ت, is [the hole] in the iron of the فَأْس, and [the eye] of the needle; and the خُرْبَة, with ب, is in the skin: and AA says that خُرْتَةٌ signifies the eye of the [kind of needle called] شَغِيزَة, i. e. the مِسَلَّة: (TA:) and Lth says that it signifies a round hole.

A2: The former is also syn. with خَبْتٌ [A low, or depressed, tract of ground: &c.]. (K. [So accord. to my MS. copy of the K, and accord. to the TA: but in the CK this signification is omitted; for instead of والخَبْتُ وَبِالضَّمِّ السَّذَابُ, we find وَالخَفْتُ بِالفَتْحِ وَبِالضَّمِّ السَّذَابُ, meaning that حَفْتٌ and خُفْتٌ signify the same as سَذَابٌ.]) خُفْتٌ [and accord. to the CK خَفْتٌ, but this is app. a mistake, (see what next precedes,)] i. q. سَذَابٌ [i. e.

(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.)

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.

(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.

(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).
