(S, K,) b6: تَنُوْءُ بِهَا عَجِيزَتُهَا Her buttocks oppress her by their weight: said of a woman. (S.) b7: نَآءَ He was oppressed by weight, (K,) and fell down: (S, K:) thus the verb bears two [partially] opposite significations. (K.) b8: نَآءَ بِجَانِبِهِ (assumed tropical:) He behaved proudly.

(TA.) See نَوْءٌ. [It seems that ناء is used in both these senses because the star or asterism appears as though it were nearly overcome by the glimmer of the dawn.]

A2: نَآءَ, (K,) formed by transposition from نَأَى, (TA,) or a dial. form of this latter, (S, TA,) He, or it, was, or became, distant; removed to a distance; went far away. (S, K.) b2: ناء بِهِ [It rendered him distant, or removed him to a distance]. (TA.)

Sometimes without ء; but originally with ء; being derived from نَآءَ إِلَيْكَ and نُؤْتُ إِلَيْهِ. (S.) 4 أَنْوَاَ see 1.10 استناء بِنَجْمٍ [He prognosticated rain &c. by reason of the rising or setting of a star or an asterism aurorally, i. e., at dawn of morning: or he regarded a star or an asterism as a نَوْء]. (L.) It is said, لَا تَسْتَنِىءُ العَرَبُ بِالنُّحُومِ كُلِّهَا [The Arabs do not prognosticate rain &c. by reason of the auroral rising or setting of all the stars, or asterisms: or do not regard all the stars or asterisms as أَنْوَا. (Sh, L.) إِسْتَنْأَوْا الوَسْمِىَّ, the ء being transposed, They expected, or looked for, the rain called الوسمى, [from the auroral rising or setting of a star or an asterism]. (AHn.) A2: إِسْتَنَآءَهُ (assumed tropical:) He sought, or asked a gift, or present of him. (K.) نَوْءٌ, pl. أَنْوَآءٌ and نُوآنٌ, (S, K,) A star, or an asterism, verging to setting: or the setting of the star, or asterism, in the west, aurorally, i. e., at dawn of morning, and the rising of another, opposite to it, at the same time, in the east: (K:) or the setting of one of the stars, or asterisms, which compose the Mansions [of the Moon (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ)], in the west, aurorally, i. e., at dawn of morining, and the rising of its رَقِيب, which is another star, or asterism, opposite to it, at the same time, in the east, each night for a period of thirteen days: thus does each star, or asterism, of those Mansions, [one after another,] to the end of the year, except الجَبْهَة, the period of which is fourteen days: (S:) [or it signifies the auroral rising, and sometimes the auroral setting, of one of those stars, or asterisms; as will be shown below: I do not say “ heliacal ”

rising because the rising here meant continues for a period of thirteen days]. Accord. to the T, نوء signifies the setting of one of the stars, or asterisms, above mentioned: and AHn says, that it signifies its first setting in the morning, when the stars are about to disappear; which is when the whiteness of dawn diffuses itself. (TA.) A'Obeyd says, I have not heard نوء used in the sense of “ setting,” “ falling,” except in this instance. (S.) It is added, [whether on his or another's authority is doubtful,] that the [pagan] Arabs used to attribute the rains and winds and heat and cold to such of the stars, or asterisms, above mentioned as was setting at the time [aurorally]; or, accord. to As, to that which was rising in its ascendency [aurorally]; and used to say, مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا [We have been given rain by such a نوء]; (S;) or they attributed heat [and cold] to the rising or the star or asterism, and rain [and wind], to its نَوْء [meaning its setting]. (AHn, Har, p. 216.) This the Muslim is forbidden to say, unless he mean thereby, “ We have been given rain at the period of such a نوء; ” God having made it usual for rain to come at [certain of] the periods called انواء.

Again, A'Obeyd says, The انواء are twenty-eight stars, or asterisms; sing. نوء: the rising of any one of them in the east [aurorally] is called نوء; and the star, or asterism, itself is hence thus called: but sometimes نوء signifies the setting. Also, in the L it is said, that each of the abovementioned stars, or asterisms, is called thus because, when that in the west sets, the opposite one rises; and this rising is called النّوء; but some make نوء to signify the setting; as if it bore contr. senses. (TA.) [El-Kazweenee mentions certain physical occurrences on the occasions of the انواء of the Mansions of the Moon; and in each of these cases, except three, the نوء is the rising, not the setting. Two of the excepted cases are doubtful: the passage relating to the third plainly expresses an event which happens at the period of the auroral setting of الصَّرْفَة; namely the commencement of the days called أَيَّامُ العَجُوزِ; corresponding, accord. to ElMakreezee, with the rising of الفَرْغُ المُقَدَّمُ, the رقيب of الصرفة: and it is said in the S, art. عجز, on the authority of Ibn-Kunáseh, that the ايّام العجوز fall at the period of the نوء of الصرفة. (The auroral setting of الصرفة, at the commencement of the era of the Flight, in central Arabia, happened about the 9th of March O. S.; and this is the day of the N. S., the 26th of February O. S., on which commence the ايّام العجوز accord. to the modern Egyptian almanacs.) Hence it appears, that sometimes the setting, but generally the rising, was called the نوء. Moreover, the ancient Arabs had twenty-eight proverbial sayings (which are quoted in the Mir-át ez-Zemán, and in the work of El-Kazweenee) relating to the risings of the twenty-eight Mansions of the Moon: such as this: إِذَا طَلَعَ الشَّرَطَانْ

إِسْتَوَى الزَّمَانْ “ When Esh-Sharatán rises, the season becomes temperate: ” or, perhaps, “b2: the night and day, become equal. ” (If this latter meaning could be proved to be the right one, we might infer that the Calendar of the Mansions of the Moon was in use more than twelve centuries B. c.; and that for this reason الشرطان was called the first of the mansions; though it may have been first so called at a later period as being the first Mansion in the first Sign of the Zodiac. But I return to the more immediate object which I had in view in mentioning the foregoing sayings.) I do not find any of these sayings (though others, I believe, do) relating to the settings. Hence, again, it appears most probable, that the rising, not the setting, was generally called نوء.] b3: [In many instances,] الأَنْوَآءُ signifies The Mansions of the Moon [themselves]; and نَوْءٌ, any one of those Mansions: and they are also called نُجُومُ المَطَرِ [the stars, or asterisms, of rain]. (Mgh, in art. خطأ.) IAar says that the term نوء was not applied except in the case of a star, or asterism, accompanied by rain: (TA:) [see exs. under خَطَّ and خَطَّأَ: but most authors, it seems, apply this term without such restriction: it is sometimes given to certain stars or asterisms, which do not belong to the Mansions of the Moon; as will be seen below: and it is applied, with the article, especially to الثُّرَيَّا]. b4: Accord. to Az, as cited by AM, the first rain is that called الوَسْمِىُّ: the انواء of which are those called العَرْقُوَتَانِ المُؤَخَّرَتَان, the same, says AM, as الفَرْغُ المُؤَخَّرُ, [the 27th Mansion of the Moon, which, about the period of the commencement of the era of the Flight, (to which period, or thereabout, the calculation of Az, here given, most probably relates,) set aurorally, (for by the term نوء Az means a star or asterism, at the setting of which rain usually falls,) in central Arabia, on the 21st of Sept. O. S, as shewn in the observations on the منازل القمر in this lexicon]: then, الشَّرَطُ, [one of the شَرَطَانِ, the 1st Mansion, which, about the period above mentioned, set aurorally on the 17th of Oct.]: then, الثُّرَيَّا, [the 3rd Mansion, which, about that period, set on the 12th of Nov.]. Then comes the rain called الشَّتَوِىُّ: the انواء of which are الجَوْزَاءُ [meaning الهَقْعَةُ, the 5th Mansion, which, about the period above mentioned, set aurorally on the 8th of Dec.] then, الذِّرَاعَانِ, [i. e. الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ and الدِّرَاعُ المَبْسُوطَةُ; the former of which, about the same period, set anti-heliacally on the 3rd of January, the proper relative time of the setting of the 7th Mansion; and the latter, on the 16th of January, the proper relative time of the setting of the 8th Mansion;] and their نَثْرَة, [the 8th Mansion, which, about that period, set aurorally on the 16th of Jan.]: then, الجَبْهَةُ, [the 10th Mansion, which set aurorally, about that period, on the 11th of Feb.] In this period the شتوى rain ends; and that called الدَّفَئِىُّ (q. v.) begins, and [after this] الصَّيْفُ. All the rains from the وسمى to the دفئى are called رَبِيعٌ. Then, [after the دفئى,] comes the صَيْف: the انواء of which are السِّمَاكَانِ (الأَعْزَلُ and الرَّقِيبُ); [the former of which is, accord. to El-Kazweenee, the 14th Mansion, which, about the period above mentioned, set aurorally on the 4th of April: the latter seems to be the رقيب of الثريّا (see رقيب): i. e. الإِكْلِيلُ, the 17th Mansion, which, about the same period, set aurorally on the 13th of May; a period of about forty days. Then comes الحَميمُ.

[see this word, said by some to be] a period of about twenty nights, commencing at the [auroral] rising of الدَّبَرَان, [at the epoch of the Flight about the 26th of May, O. S.,] which has [little rain, or none, and is therefore said to have] ??

نوء. Then comes الخَريفُ [a period of little rain the انواء of which are النَّسْرَانِ [or the two vultures, النَّسْرُ الوَاقِعُ and النَّسْرُ الطَّائِرُ, which, in central Arabia, about the period above mentioned, set aurorally on the 24th of July, O. S., both together]: then, الخضر, [which I have not been able to identify with any known star or asterism, in the TT with صح written above it, to denote its being correctly transcribed]: then, العَرْقُوَتَانِ الأُولَيانِ, the same says AM, as الفَرْغُ المُقَدَّمُ, the 26th Mansion, which, about the same period, set on the 8th of Sept.]. (T, TT, TA. *) b5: [Hence,] نَوْءٌ [also means (assumed tropical:) The supposed effect of a star or asterism so termed in bringing rain &c.: whence the phrase لَا نَوْءَ لَهُ It has no effect upon the weather; said of a particular star or asterism: see البُطَيْنُ. b6: Also. Rain consequent upon the annual setting or rising of a star so termed (assumed tropical:) so in many instances in Kzw's account of the Mansions of the Moon.] And (tropical:) Herbs, or herbage: so called because regarded as the consequence of what is [more properly] termed نوء: [i. e., the auroral setting or rising of a star or asterism, or the rain supposed to be produced thereby.] Ex. جَفُّ النَّوْءُ The herbage dried up. (IKt.) Also, (tropical:) A gift, or present. (K.) أَنْوَأُ More, or most, acquainted with the أَنْوَآء (K, and some copies of the S) [See نَوْءٌ, It is an anomalous word, though of a kind of which there are some other examples, for it has no verb] and, by only, a noun of this class is not formed but from a verb. (TA) مُسْتَنَاءٌ (assumed tropical:) One of whom a gift, or present, is sought, or asked, (K.)

(S.) b2: سَيْرٌ نَحْبٌ, (TA,) and ↓ سير مُنَحِّبٌ (K) (tropical:) A quick pace, or journey. (K, TA.) b3: The same epithets are likewise applied, in the same sense, to a man. (TA.) b4: نَحْبٌ A quick (or light, K,) pace, or mode of going, travelling, or journeying, (AA, S, K,) with much exertion and perseverance. (TA.) b5: سَارَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَحْبٍ Such a one went on, travelled, or journeyed, with energy; [lit., for a great bet, or wager;] as though he had laid a [great] bet, and therefore strove, or exerted himself. (S.) b6: نَحْبٌ Length. (AA, K.) b7: يوم نحب [so in the TA: perhaps, يَوْمُ نَحْبٍ, but more probably يَوْمٌ نَحْبٌ] A long day. (Er-Riyáshee.) b8: نَحْبٌ A space of time: a time. (S, K.) See قَضَى نَحْبَهُ, above. b9: Sleep: syn. نَوْمٌ. (L, K: in some copies of the K, يَوْمٌ TA.) b10: Fatness.

(TA.) نُحْبَةٌ (tropical:) i. q. قُرْعَةٌ [A lot used in sortilege: or lots collectively: or sortilege itself;] (K;) from نَاحَبَهَ “ he cited him before a judge; ” “ he contended with him for glory; ” and “ he laid a bet, or wager, with him; ” because it is, as it were, a judge, or that which decides, in a case of sortilege. (TA.) b2: لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مَا فِى الصَفِّ الأَوَّلِ لَاقْتَتَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَمَا تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَّا بِنُحْبَةٍ [If men knew what advantage is attained by being in the first row of the congregation in the mosque, they would fight for it, and not advance but by lot].

نَاحِبَةٌ (tropical:) A weeping, or wailing, woman: pl. نَوَاحِبُ. (TA.) سَارَ سَيْرًا مُنَحِّبًا He proceeded, or journeyed, in a direct course, not desiring [to pursue] any other: as though he had made a vow to do so. ElKumeyt says, تَخَذْنَ بِنَا عَرْضَ الفَلَاةِ وَطُولَهَا كَمَا صَارَ عَنْ يُمْنَى يَدَيْهِ المُنَحِّبُ By المنحّب is meant the man. ISd says, Th cites this verse, and says in explanation of it, This was a man who swore, saying, If I do not overcome, I will cut off my hand. He seems to consider it as implying the signification of vowing. So in the L. But it requires consideration. (TA.) b2: سِرْنَا إِلَيْهَا ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ مُنَحِّبَاتٍ We proceeded, or journeyed, thither during three nights of laborious travelling. (TA.)

نَكُبَ, inf. n. نَكْبٌ, TA,) He [threw down, i. e.] poured out the contents of the vessel: (K:) but only said of what is not fluid; as dust and the like. (TA.) b6: نَكَبَ كِنَانَتَهُ, inf. n. as above, He inverted, or inclined, his quiver, (S,) so as to pour out the arrows contained in it: (TA:) or he scattered the contents of his quiver. (K.)

(K.) نَكِيبٌ The circuit (دَائِرَة: in some copies of the S, دابرة: but this, as IKtt says, is a mistake; and the former is the correct word: TA) of a hoof, (S, K,) and of a camel's foot. (S.) See مَنْكَوبٌ.

النُّكَيْبَاءُ: see أَنْكَبُ.

أَنْكَبُ عَنِ الحَقِّ, and عَنْهُ ↓ نَاكِبٌ, (tropical:) A man deviating from the right course of action &c. (A.) b2: نَكْبَاءُ [fem. of أَنْكَبُ] an epithet applied to Any wind that blows obliquely, taking a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds: (TA:) a wind that blows obliquely, deviating from the direction whence blow the right (القُوَّم [or the cardinal]) winds: (S:) or a [particular] wind that blows obliquely, and takes a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds; (K;) which destroys the camels and sheep &c., and restrains the rain: (TA:) or a wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, wind, (الصَّبَا,) and that of the north, or northerly, wind, (الشَّمَال): (Az, K:) that between the south, or southerly, and east, or easterly, winds, being called جِرْبِيَاءُ: (Az:) [but see this word, and see below:] or what are termed نُكْبُ الرِّيَاحِ [نُكْبٌ being pl. of نكباء] are four: (IAar, Th, S, K:) namely, first, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالجَنُوبِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the south, or southerly, wind; also called الأَزْيَبُ; (S, K;) which is a very thirsty wind, that dries up much the leguminous plants; but Et-Tará- bulusee, in the Kf, and Mbr and IF, assert that the ازيب is the جنوب; not its نكباء: (TA:) second, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالشَّمَالِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the north, or northerly, wind; also called الصَّابَيةُ, and called also ↓ النُّكَيْباَءُ, (S, K,) a diminutive meant to convey the opposite of a diminutive sense; for they find this wind to be very cold; (S;) it is very boisterous and very cold; unattended by rain or by any good: (TA:) third, the نكباءُ الشَّمَالِ وَالدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the north, or northerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الجِرْبِيَاءُ; and termed نَيِّحَةُ الأَزْيَبِ the opposite wind to the ازيب; (S, K;) a cold wind; (S;) and sometimes attended by a little rain; but Ibn-El-Ajdábee asserts that the جربياء is the شمال: (TA:) fourth, the نكباءُ الجَنُوبِ والدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the south, or southerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الهَيْفُ; (in the CK, الهَيَفُ;) and termed نَيِّحَةُ النُّكَيْباَءِ the opposite wind to the نكيباء; (S, K;) a hot wind (S) and very thirsty. (TA.) Accord. to Ibn-Kubás, the tract whence blows the نكباء [by which he means only the wind that blows from the north-east or thereabout] is that extending between the point where rises the ذِرَاع [or the asterism composed of the stars a and b of Gemini, E. 33 degrees N., in central Arabia; or a and b of Canis Minor, E. 7 degrees N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star: and the tract between the pole-star and the point where sets the ذراع is the tract whence blows the شمال.

Sh says, Each of the four [cardinal] winds has its نكباء, which is called in relation to it: that of the صبا is that which is between it and the شمال; [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in gentleness; sometimes having sharpness, or vehemence; but this is seldom; only once in a long space of time: that of the شمال is that which is between it and the دبور; [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in coldness: it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ: each of them is called by the Arabs شاميّة: that of the دبور is that which is between it and the جنوب; blowing from the point where sets سُهَيْل [or Canopus; i. e., S. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia]; and it resembles it in its violence and boisterousness: and that of the جنوب is that which is between it and the صبا; [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout;] and it is the wind most resembling it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter. (L.) The pl. of نكباء is نُكْبٌ, as shown above. (S, K &c.) [See also تَبُّوعُ الشَّمْسِ, in art. تبع.] b3: دَبُورٌ نكب [app. ↓ نَكْبٌ, originally an inf. n., used as an epithet, and therefore applicable without ة to a fem noun] i. q. نَكْباَءُ; [app., The نكباء of the دبور, a southwesterly wind]. (TA.) b4: أَنْكَبُ A camel having a disease in the shoulder-joint, or in the shoulderblade, and in consequence halting: (S:) a camel that walks on one side, or inclining, or as though he walked on one side. (L.) b5: فَامَةٌ نَكْبَاءُ An inclining pulley: and قِيَمٌ نُكْبٌ inclining pulleys. (TA.) b6: أَنْكَبُ (assumed tropical:) Overpowering, or oppressive; unjust, or tyrannical. (S, TA.) b7: الدَّهْرُ أَنْكَبُ لَا يُلِبُّ (assumed tropical:) Fortune abounds with evil accidents, or disasters, or afflictions, or calamities; i. e. it deviates much, or often, from the right course: it will not remain in one state: or, accord. to one relation, الدهر انكث الخ. A proverb. (TA.) A2: أَنْكَبُ A man not having with him a bow. (S, K.) مَنْكِبٌ (masc., Lh, K) The shoulder; i. e. the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula, (S, K.) in a man &c; (ISd:) the place of junction of the os humeri and the scapula and the [tendon called] حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ, in a man and a bird and any other thing. (TA.) [It seems to be regarded by some as originally signifying “ a place of deflection: ” but] Sb denies its being a noun of place, because, were it so, it would be مَنْكَبٌ: he does not allow it to be included in the class of مَطْلِعٌ, because this is extr. Pl. مَنَاكِبُ. رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ المَنَاكِبِ, signifies A man having a strong shoulder: as though the sing. were applied to denote each part of the joint, and the pl. to denote the whole. (TA.) b2: هَزُّوا مَنَاكِبَهُمْ (tropical:) [They shook their shoulderjoints;] i. e., they rejoiced, or were joyful, or happy. (TA.) b3: خِياَرُكُمْ أَلَيْنُكُمْ مَنَاكِبَ فِى

(TA, from a trad.) b4: مَنْكِبُ الفَرَسِ The star β in Pegasus. (El-Kazweenee &c.) b5: مَنْكِبُ الجَوْزَاءِ The bright, and very great star, a, in the right shoulderjoint, of Orion. (El-Kazweenee &c.) b6: مَنْكِبٌ (tropical:) The side of anything; or a lateral, or an adjacent, part, quarter, or tract, thereof: (K:) pl. مَنَاكِبُ: ex. سِرْنَا فِى منكبٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ We proceeded, or journeyed, along a side, or lateral part, of the land: and, in like manner, مِنَ الجَبَلِ of the mountain: (TA:) so in the Kur, lxvii. 15, the pl. signifies the sides, &c., of the earth: (Fr:) or its roads, accord. to some: (TA:) or its mountains: (Zj:) which last signification in this case is preferred by Az: (TA:) or the sing. signifies an elevated place, or part, of the earth or land. (S.) b7: المَنَاكِبٌ (tropical:) The feathers next after the قَوَادِم; [which latter are the anterior, or primary, feathers of a bird's wing;] (K;) the feathers of the wing of a vulture or an eagle that are next after the قوادم, which are the strongest and most excellent of the feathers; (TA:) four [feathers] in the wing of a bird, next after the قوادم (S.) [the four secondary feathers of the wing:] in the wing of a bird are twenty leathers: the first of them are those called القوادم; the next, المناكب; the next, الخَوَا فِى: the next, الأَباهِرُ; the next, الكُلَى. (L.) It is a word without a sing. (K.) ISd says, I know not a sing. ?? it; but by analogy it should ?? ??. (TA.) b8: راَشَ

?? (tropical:) He feathered his arrow with feathers such as are described above. (TA.) A2: مَنْكِبٌ (tropical:) عَرِيفٌ i. q.

(Lth [see عَرِيفٌ.]) pl. مَنَاكِبُ. (TA.) مِنْكَابٌ عَنِ الحَقِّ [(assumed tropical:) One who deviates much from the right course of action &c.] (TA.) مَنْكُوبٌ and نَكِبٌ, accord. to the copies of the K, but the latter word is a mistake for ↓ نَكِيبٌ, Having the foot wounded, and made to bleed, by stones: or hit, or struck, or hurt, by stones. (K.) See 1. b2: مَنْكُوبٌ (assumed tropical:) Overcome or afflicted, by fortune: or smitten with an evil accident, or the like. (S, TA.) See نُكِبَ.

يَنْكُوبٌ [like يَحْمُورٌ in measure: in the CK, مَنْكُوبٌ:] A road deviating from the right course or direction. (K.)

نبت

1 نَبَتَ, (S, M, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. نَبْتٌ and نَبَاتٌ; [which two ns. see mentioned as substs.;] and ↓ تنبّت; (M;) and ↓ انبت; (Fr, S, K;) [respecting which last see below;] It (a thing, M, or a leguminous [or other] plant, S, K,) grew; grew forth; sprouted; vegetated; or germinated. (S, M, K.) As disallows ↓ انبت in this sense; but AO allows it, alleging the words of Zuheyr, الــبَقْلُ ↓ حَتَّى إِذَا أَنْبَتَ [Until, when the leguminous plants grew]. نَبَتَ and ↓ أَنْبَتَ are said to be like مَطَرَتِ السَّمآءُ and أَمْطَرَت. In the Kur, xxiii. 20, Ibn-Ketheer, Aboo-'Amr and El-Hadremee read تُنْبِتُ: others, تَنْبُتُ: but ISd says, that, accord. to the former reading, some hold ب, which follows تُنْبِتُ, to be redundant; and others hold that مَا تُنْبُتُ is understood after تُنْبِتُ. Fr holds them to be syn. (TA.) b2: نَبَتَ عَلَىَ حَالَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ He, or it, grew in a good manner, condition, or state. (L.) b3: نَبَتَ, inf. n. نُبُوتٌ, (tropical:) It (a girl's breast) became swelling, prominent, or protuberant.

(S, K.) 2 نبّت, inf. n. تَنْبِيتٌ, (tropical:) He fed or nourished, or reared or brought up, a child: (S, K:) he nourished a girl, and nursed her up well, hoping that she might profit excellently. (TA.) b2: نَبِّتْ

أَجَلَكَ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ [(tropical:) Plant the term of thy life before (lit. between) thine eyes; i. e., keep it ever before thee]. (S.) b3: نبّت, inf. n. تَنْبِيتٌ, He planted a tree. (M, S, K.) b4: He sowed seed, (M,) or grain. (A.) 4 انبتهُ, (S, K,) inf. n. إِنْبَاتٌ [for which نَبَاتٌ occurs, as shown below], (TA,) He (God) caused it, or made it, (a plant) to grow, vegetate, or germinate. (S, K.) b2: انبت, inf. n. إِنْبَاْتٌ; for which inf. n. نَبَاتٌ occurs in the Kur, iii. 32; and lxxi. 16; (tropical:) He (God) caused a child to grow. (TA.) b3: See 1. b4: انبت His (a boy's) hair of the pubes grew forth; (S, K;) he having nearly attained the age of puberty. (TA.) He (a boy) became hairy: and in like manner a girl. (Msb.) 5 تَنَبَّتَ see 1.10 استنبتهُ [He endeavoured to make it grow, or vegetate, or germinate]. (TA, art. بلس.) استنبتهُ بالبَذْرِ [He grew it, or raised it, by means of seed], and بِالنَّوَى [by means of date-stones], and بالغَرْسِ [by means of planting]. (Mgh, art. حرث.) نَبْتٌ and ↓ نَبَاتٌ [properly coll. gen. ns.] are syn., (S, K,) [signifying A plant, a herb: and plants, herbs, or herbage:] whatever God causes to grow, vegetate, or germinate, in the earth: (Lth:) the latter is an inf. n. used as a subst.: (Lth:) or it is a subst. which is used in the place of an inf. n. of أَنْبَتَ: (Fr:) n. un. of the former نَبْتَةٌ; (AHn;) [and of the latter نَبَاتَةٌ of which the pl. نَبَاتَاتٌ is mentioned in the K in this art., and frequently occurs in other works]. b2: أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ وَأَهْلُ نَبْتٍ A people of the highest rank, or nobility, and a people whose property has grown to the most flourishing state by means of their own exertions. (L, from a trad.) نِبْتَةٌ The manner, form, state, or condition, in which a thing grows, or germinates. (L.) b2: إِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ النِّبْتَةِ Verily he, or it, is of a goodly manner, &c., of growth.

(MF.) خَبِيتٌ نَبِيتٌ Vile, and contemptible, or despicable: (Lh, K:) said of a man, and of a thing. (TA.) In some copies of the K, and in the L, instead of حَقِيرٌ, we read فَقِيرٌ, [accord. to which, the meaning is vile, and poor]. (TA.) نَبِيتَةٌ sing. of نَبَائِتُ, which latter signifies the ridges that are raised along the edges of rivulets such as are called فُلْجَان (in the CK, فَلْجَان) to retain the water: النبائت being expl. by أَعْضَادُ الفُلْجَانِ: so in the L, &c.: in several copies of the K we read, in the place of اعضاد, اغصان: but this is a mistake. (TA.) نَابِتٌ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ What is fresh, or new, of anything, when it is growing forth small. (TA.) نَبَتَتْ لَهُمْ نَابِتَةٌ There grew up unto them young offspring, (S, K,) that became conjoined to the old, and increased their number. (TA.) Dim.

نُوَيْبِتَةٌ. (L.) b2: إِنَّ بَنِى فُلَانٍ لَنَابِتَةُ شَرٍّ [Verily the sons of such a one are an evil offspring]. (S.) b3: مَا أَحْسَنَ نَابِتَةَ بَنِى فُلَانٍ How good is the manner, condition, or state, in which grow (مَا تَنْبُتُ عَلَيْهِ, see 1,) the camels &c., (أَمْوَال) and children of the sons of such a one! b4: نَابِتَةٌ (TA) and نَوَابِتُ [pl. of the former] (S, K) Inexperienced young men.

مَنْبِتٌ (tropical:) Origin, or race, [from which a man springs;] syn. أَصْلٌ. (L.) So in the phrase إِنَّهُ لَفِى

مَنْبِتِ صِدْقٍ (tropical:) Verily he belongs to an excellent race; is of an excellent origin]: and so in the phrase فِى أَكْرَمِ المَنَابِتِ [of the most generous of origins, or races.] (TA.) b2: مَنْبِتٌ A place in which plants, or herbs, grow: (S, K:) dev. from the constant course of speech: analogically it should be ↓ مَنْبَتٌ: (K:) as the aor. of the verb from which it is derived is not يَنْبِتُ, with kesreh: but there are other examples like it; as مَسجِدٌ and مَطْلِعٌ &c.: ↓ مَنْبَتٌ, however, also sometimes occurs. (TA.) [Pl. مَنَابِتُ.]

أَرْضٌ مِنْبَاتٌ [Land abounding with plants, or herbage]. (K, voce رَحَبَةٌ, &c.) مَنْبُوتٌ (contr. to analogy, S, [for مُنْبَتٌ,]) A plant caused to grow, or germinate. (S, K.) مُتَنَبِّتٌ Firmly rooted; syn. مُتَأَصِّلٌ. (TA.) تَنْبِيتٌ and ↓ تِنْبِيتٌ, (K,) the latter so written, not as being so originally, but for the sake of agreement in sound [with respect to the first and second vowels], (AHei,) a subst., signifying What grows or germinates, of slender (i. e. small, TA,) trees, [or shrubs,] and large: (K:) ex., بَيْدَآءُ لَمْ يَنْبُتْ بِهَا تَنْبِيتُ [A desert in which there grew not aught of shrubs or of large trees]: (TA:) young shoots of palmtrees: (IKtt:) the prickles and branches that are cut off from a palm-tree, to lighten it. (AHn, as from 'Eesa Ibn-'Omar.) b2: Pieces of the hump of a camel. (L.) تِنْبِيثٌ: see تَنْبِيثٌ.

يَنْبُوتٌ [coll. gen. n.] A certain species of trees: (S:) poppy-plants; syn. شَجَرُ الخَشْخَاش: and other trees of a large kind: or the trees called خرّوب [see below]: (K:) or a kind of thorny trees, having branches and leaves, with a fruit of the kind called جِرْو, i. e., round; called in 'Omán غاف: n. un. with ة: AHn says that there are two species of ينبوت; one of these is a kind of thorny and short trees, also called خَرُّوب [q. v.] having a fruit resembling a bubble, in which are red grains, having an astringent effect upon the bowels, used as a medicine; the other species is a large species of trees: ISd says, An Arab of the desert, of the tribe of Rabeea, described to me the ينبوتة as [a tree] resembling a large apple-tree, the leaves of which are smaller than those of the apple, having a fruit smaller than the زُعْرُور, intensely black and intensely sweet, with grains, or stones, which are put into scales, or balances: [evidently meaning the carob, or locust-tree, (see خَرُّوب,) whence our term “ carob,” applied to a small weight, the twenty-fourth part of a grain]. (L [See غَافٌ and فُرْفُورٌ].)

Such I suppose to be meant by the words in the L, كلّ نَقْطٍ فى شىء خالف لونه نَكْتٌ.]
