(M, L, TA.) And ↓ قَضْبَةٌ [as n. un. of قَضْبٌ] signifies A tree from which arrows are made: one says سَهْمُ قَضْبٍ [An arrow made from the species of tree called قضب]; like as one says سَهْمُ نَبْعٍ &c.

(M, TA.) [Hence] one says, مَلَكَ البُرْدَةَ وَالقَضِيبَ (tropical:) [lit. He became possessor of the burdeh and the rod], meaning اُسْتُخْلِفَ [i. e. he became a successor]. (A.) b3: And A bow made of a rod, or branch, (AHn, M, K) in its complete state: (AHn, M:) or one made of a rod, or branch, not split: (M, K:) also called ↓ قَضْبَةٌ.

(IB, L.) Akh says, He means وَيَنْبَغِى أَنْ يَقْصِدَ; but as he makes an ellipsis, and puts يقصد in the place, syntactically, of ينبغى, he makes it marfooa, because it has the place of that which is [virtually] marfooa: and Fr says, he makes it marfooa because of the disagreement; for as its meaning disagrees with that of the preceding verb, it is made to disagree therefore in desinential syntax.
