بَالٍ لَمْ يُبْدَأْ فِيهِ بِحَمْدِ اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ أَبْتَرُ, i. e., Every honourable affair, for which one cares, and by which one is rendered solicitous, [in which a beginning is not made by praising God, is cut off from good, or prosperity:] or every affair of importance, or moment.

(TA.) A3: The spade (مَرّ [in the CK erroneously written مُرّ]) with which one works in land of seed-produce. (M, K.) A4: See also بَالَةٌ, in three places.

(T.) b3: It is said to signify also An odour; a smell; (T;) on the authority of Aboo-Sa'eed Ed-Dareer; (TA;) from بَلَوْتُهُ meaning “ I smelled it, and tried, proved, or tested, it; ” originally بَلْوَةٌ; the و being transposed, and changed into ا. (T.) b4: And A staff with a pointed iron at the end, used by the hunters of El-Basrah, who throw it at the game: pl. [or coll. gen. n.] ↓ بَالٌ.

بله

1 بَلِهَ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (Msb, K,) ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n. بَلَهٌ, (S, * Msb, K, * TA,) [and irregularly بَلَاهَةٌ and بُلَهْنِيَةٌ, (see بَلَهٌ, below,)] He was, or became, أَبْلَه [q. v.]; as also ↓ تبلّه; (S, K;) and ↓ ابتله: (TA:) or he was, or became, weak in intellect. (Msb.) b2: Also He was unable to adduce his argument, proof, or evidence, (K, TA,) by reason of his heedlessness, and his smallness, or lack, of discrimination. (TA.) 3 مُبَالَهَةٌ The showing stupidity [in an action or in one's actions, i. e. the acting stupidly,] with any one. (KL.) [You say, بالههُ He acted stupidly, or in the manner of him who is termed أَبْلَه, with him.]4 ابلههُ He found him, or knew him by experience, to be أَبْلَه [q. v.]. (K.) 5 تبلّه: see 1. b2: And see 6. b3: Also (tropical:) He journeyed, or proceeded, or pursued his way, without any sign of the road, or any track, to guide him, (Az, K, TA,) without following the right course, (Az, TA,) and without asking [to be directed]. (K, TA.) b4: And (assumed tropical:) He prosecuted a search after a stray, or lost, beast. (JK, K.) 6 تباله He feigned بَلَه, or the attribute denoted by the term أَبْلَه: (S:) or he made use of that attribute [as a mask]; i . q. اِسْتَعْمَلَ البَلَهَ; as also ↓ تبلّه. (K.) 8 إِبْتَلَهَ see 1.

بَلْهَ is an indecl. word with fet-h for its termination, like كَيْفَ, and means دَعْ [Let alone, or say nothing of]; (S;) [i. e.] it is a noun for دَعْ; indecl.; (Mughnee, K;) a verbal noun, meaning دَعْ and أُتْرُكْ; (IAth, TA;) and the noun that follows it, when it is thus used, is in the accus. case; (Mughnee, K;) i. e. it is indecl., with fet-h for its termination, when the noun following it is in the accus. case; so that you say, بَلْهَ زَيْدًا [Let alone Zeyd, or say nothing of Zeyd]; like as you say, رُوَيْدَ زَيْدًا: (IB, TA:) and it is also an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n. in the sense of التَّرْكُ; likewise with fet-h for its termination, but decl.; and when it is thus used, the noun that follows it is in the gen. case; (Mughnee, K;) or it is put in the place of an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n., meaning تَرْكَ [which is virtually the same as اُتْرُكْ and دَعْ], and is prefixed to a noun in the gen. case; so that you say, بَلْهَ زَيْدٍ, i. e. تَرْكَ زَيْدٍ [which is virtually the same as بَلْهَ زَيْدًا explained above; for تَرْكَ زَيْدٍ is originally اُتْرُكْ زَيْدًا تَرْكًا, like as فَضَرْبَ الرِّقَابِ in the Kur xlvii. 4 is originally فاضْرِبُوا الرِّقَابَ ضَرْبًا]; (IAth, TA;) for in this case it cannot be regarded as a verbal noun, since verbal nouns are not prefixed to other nouns, governed by them in the gen. case: (IB, TA:) and it is also a noun syn. with كَيْفَ [How?]; likewise with fet-h for its termination, indecl.; and when it is thus used, the noun that follows it is in the nom. case. (Mughnee, K.) A poet says, describing swords, (S, Mughnee,) namely, Kaab Ibn-Málik, (S,) تَذَرُ الجَمَاجِمَ ضَاحِيًا هَامَتُهَا بَلْهَ الأَكُفَّ كَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تُخْلَقِ [They leave the skulls with their crowns lying open to the sun (let alone, or say nothing of, the hands) as though they had not been created]: (S, Mughnee:) he says, when they cut, or cut off, the crowns, then let alone, or say nothing of, the hands (فَدَعِ الأَكُفَّ): i. e., they are more fit for cutting off the hands: (TA:) Akh says that بله is here in the place of an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n.; that it is as when you say, ضَرْبَ زَيْدٍ: but الاكفّ may be in the accus. case; so that the meaning may be دَعِ الأَكُفَّ: (S:) the verse is thus recited in two different ways: and also بَلْهَ الأَكُفُّ [how then must be the case of the hands?]. (Mughnee.) And hence the prov., تُحْرِقُكَ النَّارُ إِنْ تَرَاهَا بَلْهَ أَنْ تَصْلَاهَا, i. e. The fire will burn thee if thou see it from a distance: then let alone, or say nothing of, (فَدَعْ,) thy entering into it. (TA.) A strange instance occurs in the Saheeh of El-Bukháree, in the explanation of the آلم of the chapter of السَّجْدَة [the 32nd ch. of the Kur]: he says, God says [by these three letters], أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَ لَا خَطَرِ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ ذُخْرًا مِنْ بَلْهِ مَا اطَّلَعْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ: (Mughnee, K: *) or ما أَطَلَعْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ: (so in some copies of the K:) thus بله is used as a decl. word, governed in the gen. case by من, and deviating from the three meanings [explained above]: (Mughnee, K:) but the reading commonly known is, على قلب بشر بَلْهَ مَ أَطْلَعْتُهُمْ عليه; and this is the reading in the work of J, [the S,] and in the Nh, and other lexicological works: (TA:) it has been explained by غَيْر; [so that the meaning of the sentence as first related above is, I have prepared for my righteous servants what eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it occurred to the mind of man, as a treasure for the future, (obviously taken from Isaiah lxiv. 4, quoted by St. Paul in 1 Cor. ii. 9,) save, or except, that with which ye have become acquainted, or that with which I have acquainted them; and the same, with the omission of “ as a treasure for the future, “is the meaning of the sentence as related in the S and Nh &c.;] (Mughnee, K;) i. e. سِوَى, as in the S; (TA;) and this corroborates, (Mughnee,) or is agreeable with, (K,) the opinion of those who reckon بله as an exceptive word: (Mughnee, K:) and as meaning أَجَلْ [app. a mistranscription for أَجْل; i. e., it has been explained also as meaning I have done all this because of my promise to them; (مِنْ أَجْلِ مَا أَطْلَعْتُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ because of that with which I have acquainted them;) and thus it may have been read by SM, for he has written اجل without any syll. signs; and has given no other ex. of بله in the sense here intended except one commencing with the words, بَلْهَ انِّى لَمْ أَخُنْ عَهْدًا, which may mean because I have not broken a covenant, or yea, verily I have not &c., accord. as we read أَنِّى or إِنِّى]: or as meaning كُفَّ [or rather كُفَّ عَنْ] and دَعْ [let alone, or say nothing of; but this explanation must relate to the sentence as given in the S and Nh]: (K, but omitted in an excellent copy of that work:) or, accord. to El-Ahmar, it means, in this trad. [as commonly known], كَيُفَ [how? which seems to be the least suitable of all these explanations]. (TA.) IAmb relates, on the authority of others, that بَلْهَ is also syn. with عَلَى: [but I think that this is a mistake, arising from a misunderstanding of what here follows:] Fr says that he who makes it to govern a gen. case regards it as used in the manner of عَلَى, and similar particles governing the gen. case. (TA.) b2: مَا بَلْهَكَ means مَا بَالُكَ [What is thy state, or condition, or case?]: (K, TA:) or مَا لَكَ [which often has this meaning: see the letter ل]. (So in some copies of the K.) بَلَهٌ and ↓ بَلَاهَةٌ [both properly ـصْدَرٌ">inf. ns.; see 1;] The attribute, or quality, denoted by the epithet أَبْلَهٌ [q. v.]; (S, K;) i. e. heedlessness: (K:) or heedlessness of evil; (JK in explanation of the former, and K;) &c.; (K;) and ↓ بُلَهْنِيَةٌ signifies the same; and stupidity and languor. (JK.) بَلَهَآءُ: see أَبْلَهُ.

بُلَهْنِيَةٌ, (K,) or بَلَهْنِيَةُ العَيْشِ, (JK,) or مِنَ العَيْشِ, (S,) (tropical:) An easy and a plentiful, (S, K, TA,) or a pleasant and heedless, (JK, TA, *) state, or condition, of life: (JK, S, K, TA:) from عَيْشٌ أَبْلَهُ [q. v.]: (Har p. 216:) the word بلهنية is rendered quasi-coordinate to the quinqueliteral-radical class by ا at the end, which is changed into ى because of the kesreh before it: (S in art. بلهن:) it is like رُفَغْنِيَةٌ and رُفَهْنِيَةٌ: IB says that it should be mentioned in art. بله, and means عَيْشٌ أَبْلَهُ; the ن and ى being augmentative, to render it quasicoordinate to خُبَعْثِنَةٌ: it is mentioned in the K [and S] in arts. بلهن and بله: (TA in art. بلهن:) the ن is augmentative accord. to Sb. (S in the present art.) One says, لَا زِلْتَ مُلَقًّى بِتَهْنِئَةٍ

مُبَقًّى فِىبُلَهْنِيَةٍ (tropical:) [Mayest thou not cease to be greeted with congratulation, and made to continue in an easy and a plentiful state of life]. (A, K.) b2: See also بَلَهٌ.

بَلَاهَةٌ: see بَلَهٌ.

أَبْلَهُ Heedless: (K:) or heedless of evil (K, TA) by reason of his goodness: (TA:) or simple, foolish, or of little sense, without discrimination: (K:) or weak in intellect: (Msb:) accord. to En-Nadr, (TA,) one whose evilness is dead, (K, TA,) so that he is not cognizant of it: (TA:) good in disposition; having little cognizance, or understanding, of subtilties; or having little skill therein: (K:) or one whose predominant quality is freedom of the bosom, or heart, or mind, from evil affections; (S, K, TA;) and good opinion of men: (TA:) simple-hearted: (TK:) naturally disposed to goodness, and therefore heedless of evil, not knowing it: (T, TA:) or heedless with respect to the present world and its people and their corruptness and malevolence, but intelligent and skilled in the law with respect to that which is commanded and that which is forbidden: (Ah-mad Ibn-Hambal, TA:) fem. بَلْهَآءُ: (S, Msb, K: *) pl. بُلْهٌ: (S, Msb:) and ↓ بُلَهَآءُ, a pl., [as though the sing. were بَلِيهٌ,] signifies dull, stupid, or wanting in intelligence: but this is post-classical. (TA.) Hence, شَابٌّ أَبْلَهُ [A youth, or young man, who is heedless, &c.], because of his inexperience in affairs: the epithet is applied to a youth in like manner as freedom from care, or thought, and like as insanity, are attributed to him. (S.) and خَيْرُ أَوْلَادِنَا الأَبْلَهُ العَقُولُ (tropical:) [The best of our children is the heedless, &c., that has much intelligence]; (S, Msb;) a saying of Ez-Zibrikán Ibn-Bedr; (S;) meaning such as, by reason of his bashfulness, is like the ابله, (S, Msb,) so that he feigns heedlessness, and passes over things, (Msb,) though he has much intelligence; (S;) or such as is thought to be stupid, but, when examined, is found to be [very] intelligent. (IAth, TA in art. عقل.) And أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ البُلْهُ, a trad., meaning Most of the people of Paradise are the بُلْه [or heedless, &c.,] with respect to the present world, because of their being little concerned thereby, while they are intelligent with respect to the world to come; (S;) or they are thus termed because they are heedless of their affairs in the present world, and unskilful in the management thereof, and busy themselves with their affairs relating to the world to come. (TA.) b2: بَلْهَآءُ, applied to a woman, Generous, strong-hearted, (مَزِيرَةٌ, for المَرِيرَةُ in the copies of the K is a mistake for المَزِيرَةُ, with زاى, TA, [app. here meaning bold,]) inexperienced in affairs, and simple, or unintelligent. (K, * TA.) ISh cites a poet as applying this epithet to a young girl with whom he had sported, and who acquainted him with her secrets, by reason of her inexperience, and want of cunning, not knowing what that implied against her. (TA.) b3: Also, applied to a she-camel, (tropical:) That does not take fright, and flee from a thing, (ISh, A, K,) by reason of staidness, (ISh, K,) or heaviness, (A,) as though she were stupid. (ISh, A, K.) One does not say جَمَلٌ أَبْلَهُ. (ISh, TA.) b4: شَبَابٌ أَبْلَهُ (tropical:) Soft, or delicate, youth; (T, A, K;) as though he who enjoys it were heedless of nocturnal accidents or calamities. (A, K.) b5: And عَيْشٌ أَبْلَهُ (tropical:) A soft, or delicate, or pleasant, or plentiful and easy, life: (K, TA:) or a life in which are few anxieties: (CK:) or a life in which are few griefs, or sorrows.

[or coll. gen. n.] of الضَّيْقَةُ; or it means the narrow, or strait, thing, ضَيْقٌ being a contraction of ضَيِّقٌ. (TA.) b3: And الضَّيْقَةُ, (O,) or ضَيْقَةُ [without the article], (JK, O, TA,) or ↓ الضِّيقَةُ, (K, [app. a mistake, for in the O, in every case, whether as a proper name or not, الضيقة is written الضَّيْقَةُ,]) is the name of A certain mansion of the moon, (JK, O, K, TA,) [not one of the Twentyeight Mansions,] close by الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades]: (JK, O, TA:) or, as IKt says, on the authority of Ibn-Ziyád El-Kilábee, sometimes the moon falls short of الدَّبَرَان and alights in الضيقة, i. e. two small stars, near together, between الثُّرَيَّا and الدَّابَرَان: (TA:) it is asserted by the Arabs to be an inauspicious place. (O, * TA.) Hence the saying of El-Akhtal, فَهَلَّا زَجَرْتَ الطَّيْرَ لَيْلَةَ جِئْتَهَا بِضَيْقَةَ بَيْنَ النَّجْمِ وَالدَّبَرَانِ

[And wherefore didst not thou draw an omen from the flight of birds on the night when thou camest to her, when the moon was in Deykah, between the Pleiades and Ed-Debarán?]: he notifies that the moon, in the night of their coming together, was making its abode [in the neighbourhood of] الدبران, which is inauspicious: (O, TA:) or [the latter hemistich, as J relates it, app. on the authority of A 'Obeyd, is thus,] بِضَيْقَةِ بَيْنَ النَّجْمِ وَالدَّبَرَانِ from الضَّيْقَةُ as syn. with الضَّيْقُ; (S;) and as AA relates the verse, it is [thus] with kesr to the ة in بضيقة; the word not being made the [proper] name of a place, but the meaning being بضيقة مَا بَيْنَ النجم والدبران [i. e. in the narrow space between the Pleiades and Ed-Debarán]. (TA.) b4: ضَيْقَةٌ is also the fem. of ضَيْقٌ the contracted form of ضَيِّقٌ. (S, O, TA.) ضِيقَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, former half, in two places.

ضُوقَى and ضِيقَى are fems. of ↓ أَضْيَقُ; (S, O, K;) the former [as well as the latter] is [originally] of the measure فُعْلَى, (TA,) [each being originally ضُيْقَى,] the ى being changed in the former into و because quiescent and preceded by dammeh: (S, O, TA:) the former occurs in the saying of a woman to her fellowwife, contending with her for superiority, مَا أَنْتِ بِالخُورَى وَلَا الضُّوقَى حِرًا [Thou art not the better nor the narrower &c.; خُورَى being in like manner fem. of أَخْيَرُ]. (TA.) Accord. to Kr, the former is pl. of ↓ ضَيِّقَةٌ; (TA;) and he says the same of ضِيقَى also; (TA voce كَيِّسٌ;) but ISd says, I know not how this may be, for فُعْلَى is not of the measures of pls. except of the kind of pl. which differs not from its sing. otherwise than in the latter's having ة [as an affix], like بُهْمَاةٌ and بُهْمَى [q. v.]. (TA in the present art.) ضِيَاقٌ: see مِضْيَاقٌ.

ضَائِقٌ: see the next paragraph, in four places.

ضَيِّقٌ and ↓ ضَيْقٌ, (S, O, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (S,) the two being like هَيِّنٌ and هَيْنٌ [&c.], (O,) and ↓ ضَائِقٌ, (K,) Narrow, or strait: (S, * O, * K:) or ضَيِّقٌ is an epithet used in this sense when permanence [of the attribute] is meant [and so therefore is its contracted form]; and ↓ ضَائِقٌ as meaning [being, or becoming, narrow or strait; or] temporarily narrow or strait: (Msb:) the fem. of the first (TA) and of the second (S, O, TA) [as well as of the third] is with ة: (S, O, TA:) see also ضُوقَى: [the pls. of the first and second, applied to rational beings, is ضَيِّقُونَ and ضَيْقُونَ, like مَيِّتُونَ and مَيْتُونَ: and] the pl. of ↓ ضَائِقٌ is ضَاقَةً. (TA.) You say شَىْءٌ ضَيِّقٌ (O, Msb) and ↓ ضَيْقٌ (O) A narrow, or strait, thing. (O, * Msb.) And صَدْرٌ ضَيِّقٌ (assumed tropical:) A strait, or contracted, mind; (Msb;) and نَفْسٌ ضَيِّقَةٌ [meaning the same]. (TA.) And بِهِ صَدْرُــكَ ↓ وَضَائقٌ, in the Kur [xi. 15], means (assumed tropical:) And thy mind is temporarily strait or contracted thereby. (Msb.) ضَيِّقٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Niggardly, or avaricious. (KL.) [And ضَيِّقُ الخُلُقِ (assumed tropical:) Narrow, or illiberal, in disposition.]

أَضْيَقُ [More, and most, narrow or strait or contracted]: (S, O, K:) see its fems. ضُوقَى and ضِيقَى, above. [See also three exs. voce اِسْتٌ, in art. سته.]

مَضِيقٌ A narrow, or strait, place: (K:) [a pass: a place of narrowness or straitness] of land; and of the vulva; and (assumed tropical:) [a place, or state, of straitness] of life, or of the means of subsistence: (K in art. ازم:) and (tropical:) a narrow, or strait, affair or case: (K, TA:) pl. مَضَايِقُ. (TA.) أَمْرٌ مُضَيَّقٌ (assumed tropical:) [An affair rendered strait]. (TA.) مِضْيَاقٌ, (JK, and O on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád, and TA,) or ↓ ضِيَاقٌ, like كِتَابٌ [in measure], thus in all the copies of the K, (TA,) [but probably, I think, taken from a mistranscription,] A pessary (دُرْجَةٌ) of rag and perfume, with which a woman endeavours to constrict her vagina (تَسْتَضِيقُ بِهَا).

(TA.) [It may also mean He expressed, or signified, an evil opinion of him by making signs with the side of the mouth, or with the eye, or with the head, or otherwise; as is indicated in the TA in arts. لمز and همز.]

غَابٌ: see غَابَةٌ, in three places.

غَيْبٌ Whatever is absent, or hidden, from one; (S, A, Msb, K, TA;) as though it were an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n. used in the sense of the act. part. n. [in which the meaning of a subst. is predominant]; (TA;) and so ↓ غَائِبٌ, which [in this sense] is a subst., like كَاهِلٌ, (K, TA,) or an act. part. n. used in the sense of a subst.: (MF:) anything that is absent, or hidden, from the eyes; invisible, unseen, or unapparent; whether it be, or be not, perceived in the heart, or mind: (IAar, TA:) [or anything unperceivable; absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception; or undiscoverable unless by means of divine revelation; a mystery, or secret, such as an event of futurity;] a thing that has been hidden from men, and with which the Prophet has acquainted them, of the events of the resurrection and of Paradise and of Hell &c.; thus in the Kur ii. 2; (Zj, TA;) and [hence] Zj explains الغَيْب as meaning, in the Kur lxxxi. 24, that which has been revealed: (TA in art. ضن:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (Msb.) [See also the Ksh and Bd in ii. 2.] [Hence, عَالَمُ الغَيْبِ The world of the unseen; the invisible world.] And [hence also] one says, رَجَمَ بِالغَيْبِ [and قَذَفَ بِالغَيْبِ (see art. قذف)] He spoke of that which he did not know: (Ham p. 494:) and قَالَ رَجْمًا بِالغَيْبِ He said conjecturally, [or speaking of that which was hidden from him or unknown by him,] without evidence, and without proof. (Msb in art. رجم, q. v.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) Doubt, or a doubting: (K:) but some disapprove this: some regard it as tropical: and some pronounce it correct: (MF, TA:) pl. غِيَابٌ and غُيُوبٌ. (K.) A poet says, أَنْتَ نَبِىٌّ تَعْلَمُ الغِيَابَا لَا قَائِلًا إِفْكًا وَلَا مُرْتَابَا [Thou art a prophet, knowing doubts, or things doubted; not saying a lie, nor a thing suspected: or, more probably, the meaning is, the things unseen]. (TA.) b3: Also A place, in the ground, that hides, or conceals, one: (TA:) a low, or depressed, place in the ground, or in a tract of land: (S, K, TA:) or any place such that one knows not what is in it: and a place such that one knows not what is behind it: (Sh, TA:) pl. غُيُوبٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ in a verse of Lebeed cited voce ظَهْرٌ, q. v. (TA.) [Hence also] one says, سَمِعْتُ صَوْتًا مِنْ وَرَآءِ الغَيْبِ i. e. [I heard a sound, or voice,] from [behind] a place that I saw not. (A, TA.) And تَنَاوَلَهُ بِظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ بِمَا يَسُوؤُهُ: see 8. And تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غَيْبٍ (A) or عَنْ ظَهْرِ الغَيْبِ (TA, and A and O in art. ظهر) [app. He spoke of it by memory; in the absence of a book or the like; as one says in modern Arabic, عَلَى الغَائِب. See also ظَهْرٌ.]

b4: Also The خَمْصَة [i. e. pit, or depression, as is shown by what here follows, (thus in the A, and in the Ksh in ii. 2, in the TA حُفْرَة, which has a similar meaning,)] that is in the place where the kidney is situate, (Ksh, A, TA,) and which swells up when the beast becomes big in the belly: so says ISh: (Ksh ubi suprà:) or the خَمْصَة that is next to the kidney: (Bd in ii. 2: [De Sacy doubted respecting its meaning, but conjectured that it might be thus: see his Anthol. Gramm. Arabe p. 55:]) pl. غُيُوبٌ: one says, شَرِبَتِ الدَّابَّةُ حَتَّى

وَارَتْ غُيُوبَ كُلَاهَا, (ISh, Ksh ubi suprà, A, TA,) meaning هُزُومَهَا [i. e. The beast drank until it concealed the pits of its kidneys]. (A, TA.) b5: and Fat: (K, TA:) i. e. the fat of the ثَرْب [q. v.] of a sheep or goat: so called because it is hidden from the eye. (TA.) A2: See also غَائِبٌ.

غَيَبٌ: see غَائِبٌ, in two places.

غَابَةٌ is originally [غَيَبَةٌ] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ, with fet-h to the ع. (Msb.) It signifies A low, or depressed, place, or a hollow in the ground, (El-Hawázinee, K, TA,) before which, or in the way to which, (دُونَهَا,) is an eminence. (El-Hawá- zinee, TA.) b2: And (K) i. q. أَجَمَةٌ: (S, K, TA:) [i. e.] A bed of canes or reeds: (AHn, Msb, TA:) and [a thicket, wood, or forest; like أَجَمَةٌ;] a collection of trees, (AHn, ISd, TA,) densely disposed; so called because it conceals what is in it: (ISd, TA:) or a tall أَجَمَة, having high, or very high, extremities [app. to its canes or reeds]: (TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (S, Msb, TA.) b3: And (assumed tropical:) A long spear (K, TA) that has extremities like those of the أَجَمَة [expl. above]: (TA:) [but I think that this addition in the TA correctly applies to غَابَةٌ signifying a number of spears, like a bed of canes or reeds, or like a forest; agreeably with two of the explanations here following:] or a spear that quivers in the wind: (K, TA:) or (tropical:) numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or an assemblage of spears; app. so called as being likened to a غابة meaning an أَجَمَة of dense trees: (ISd, TA:) pl. غَابَات and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) One says, أَتَوْنَا فِى غَابَةٍ i. e. (tropical:) [They came to us] amid numerous spears, like abundant and dense trees: (A:) or غابة may be used in this case in the sense here following. (TA.) b4: And A company, or congregated body, of men: (Aboo-Jábir ElAsadee, K, TA:) pl. غَابَاتٌ and [coll. gen. n.]

↓ غَابٌ. (TA.) غَيْبَةٌ an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n.

(S.) b3: See also غَيَابَةٌ.

غِيبَةٌ the subst. from اِغْتَابَهُ: (Msb:) it signifies [Evil speech respecting a person; or such speech in his absence; not always, though generally, meaning with truth:] evil speech respecting a person in his absence; (TA;) or a saying of him, in his absence, what would grieve him (S, TA) if he heard it; (S;) with truth: (S, TA:) or speech respecting a person imputing to him what he dislikes, of vices, or faults, with truth: (Msb:) when it is false, it is termed بُهْتَانٌ: (S, Msb, TA:) or an imputing to a person a vice, or fault, or the like; and a mentioning him with what is in him of evil; (K, TA;) or a saying of him what would grieve him: (TA:) or it may be speech imputing good or evil. (K, * TA.) غَيِبَانٌ or غَيْبَانٌ, [accord. to different copies of the K, between which the TA does not enable us to decide with certainty, as it only states, with respect to the ى, that it is مُخَفَّفَة, which may mean either the contr. of doubled or the contr. of movent, though the former is the more general meaning, (in the TA it is said to be erroneously written in a copy of the K with a final ت instead of ن,)] and ↓ غَيِّبَانٌ, The roots of trees, (K, TA,) that are hidden from view: or, accord. to AHn, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان and ↓ غَيَابَة, of plants, or herbage, are, with the Arabs, what the sun has not shone upon: and accord. to Aboo-Ziyád ElKilábee, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان of plants, or herbage, and also of their roots, are what is con-cealed from the sun, so as to be not shone upon by it. (L, TA.) غَيِّبَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

غَيَابٌ A thing that hides, or conceals, a thing from one: (Meyd:) and hence, (Meyd, TA,) a grave; (S, Meyd, TA;) and so ↓ غَيَابَةٌ: (TA:) one says, غَيَابُهُ ↓ غَيَّبَهُ (S, Meyd, TA) and ↓ غَيَابَتُهُ (TA) meaning دُفِنَ فِى قَبْرِهِ (S, Meyd, TA) [i. e. May he be buried in his grave]: an imprecation of death against the man. (Meyd.) غَيَابَةٌ The part of anything that veils, or conceals, one. (K.) And hence, (K,) The bottom of a جُبّ [or well]; (S, K, * TA;) or this, accord. to some, is the primary signification; as also ↓ غَيْبَةٌ, accord. to one reading, in the Kur xii. 10; (TA;) [and غَيَايَةٌ;] and of a valley; (S, TA;) &c.: (TA:) pl. غَيَابَاتٌ. (K, TA.) [And A covert, or place of concealment, of birds. (See ظِلَالَةٌ.)] See also غَيَابٌ, in two places: and غَيْبَةٌ. b2: and see غَيِبَانٌ.

غَائِبٌ act. part. n. of 1 [signifying Absent; distant, or remote; and hidden, concealed, or unapparent; or absent from the range, or beyond the reach, of perception by sense, or of mental perception]: pl. (applied to men, K, TA) غُيَّبٌ and غُيَّابٌ (S, Msb, K) and غَائِبُونَ (K) and ↓ غَيَبٌ, (S, Mgh, K,) or rather the last is a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ غَيْبٌ, [which is also properly speaking a quasi-pl. n.,] like صَحْبٌ: (Msb [in which غَيَبٌ is not mentioned]:) the ى in ↓ غَيَبٌ remains unchanged, notwithstanding the two fet-hahs, because it is likened to صَيَدٌ, and, although it is a pl. [in signification] and صَيَدٌ is an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n., it may be used as meant for an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n. (S, TA.) b2: See also غَيْبٌ, first sentence. b3: Also A run in which a horse reserves [somewhat of his force for the time of need]. (A in art. شهد: see شَاهِدٌ.) مَغِيبٌ [an ـصْدَرٌ">inf. n.: b2: and also a n. of place and of time, signifying] The place [and the time] of setting of the sun and of the moon [&c.].

Yousay, ضُرِبَ فُلَانٌ فَغَوَّثَ Such a one was beaten, and cried وا غوثاه. (TA.)
