app. from the former's having found الاِسْتِعْدَادُ
written in a copy of the
K for الاِسْتِعْدَآءُ.]
A3: أَنَا
أَعْرِفُهُ تَثْبِيَةً I know him, or it, with a seeming, not a certain, knowledge. (
T,
TA.)
ثُبَةٌ A company (
T,
S,
M,
K) of men; (
T,
M;) as also ↓ أُثْبِيَّةٌ; (
M,
K; [in the
CK erroneously written اَثْبِيَة;]) and أُثْئِيَّةٌ: (
TA:) a company in a state of separation or dispersion; or a distinct body, or company, of men: (
T:) and a troop of horsemen; such as is termed
عُصْبَــة: (
M,
K: [in the
CK, الـ
ـعَصَبَــةُ is erroneously put for الـ
ـعُصْبَــةُ:]) the
pl. is ثُبَاتٌ and ثُبُونَ (
T,
S,
M,
K) and ثِبُونَ (
S,
M) and (the
pl. of أُثْبِيَّةٌ,
TA) أَثَابِىُّ and أَثَابِيَةٌ, in which last the ة is a substitute for the last ى [of أَثَابِىُّ]: (
M,
TA:) or [
accord. to some,] أَثَابِىُّ, which signifies companies, has no
sing.; but, as some say, its
sing. is ↓ أَثْبِيَّةٌ, of the measure أُفْعُولَةٌ, [originally أُثْبُويَةٌ,] which means a numerous company: (
Ham p. 796:) [it is also said that] ثُبًى is a
pl. of ثُبَةٌ as meaning a company; (
L in art. ثوب, and
Ham p. 271;) and hence the phrase الثُّبَى العَالِى, for الثُّبَى العَالِيَةُ, [the high, or exalted, companies,] the former word being made
masc. because it is like زُلَمٌ [which is
sing. and
masc.]; but some say that this word here means the assemblies of the nobles: (
Ham ubi suprá:)
IAar says, الثُّبَى العَالِى مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الأَشْرَافِ; but [
ISd observes,] this is extraordinary, and I have not heard it except in the poetry of El-Find EzZimmánee. (
M.)
Accord. to some, it is from ثَابَ, being originally ثُوبَةٌ; and its
dim. is ثُوَيْبَةٌ: (
T:) or it is originally ثُبَىٌ: (
S:)
accord. to
Er-Rághib, the letter elided from ثُبَةٌ as meaning “ a company,” but not as relating to a wateringtrough or tank, is ى; and
ISd holds it to be ى: and [if so,] its
dim. is ↓ ثُبَيَّةٌ: (
TA:) [but
ISd adds,]
IJ says that the elided letter is و, because it is this in most cases, as in أَبٌ and أَخٌ and سَنَةٌ and عِضَةٌ &c. (
M in arts. ثبو and ثبى.) [See also art. ثوب. It seems to signify also An assemblage, or a collection, of things of any kind:] see 2, in two places.
b2: Also The middle of a wateringtrough or tank, (
T,
S,
M,
K,) to which the water returns [when it has been emptied], (
S,) or to which what remains of the water returns: (
T:) and the place where the water collects in a valley or low ground: (Aboo-Kheyreh,
T:) but this is from ثَابَ; (
T,
S; *) the ة is a substitute for the و, the medial radical, which is suppressed; for it is originally ثُوَبٌ: (
S:) or it is originally ثُوبَةٌ: (
T:) or it may be from ثَبَّيْتُ “ I collected: ”
but Aboo-Is-hák makes it to be from ثَابَ المَآءُ,
aor. ـُ and this he infers to be the case from their saying that the
dim. is ثُوَيْبَةٌ. (
M.) [See also art. ثوب.]
ثَبِىٌّ One who praises men much [while they are living: see 2]. (
TA.)
ثُبَيَّةٌ: see ثُبَةٌ, of which it is said to be the dim.
أُثْبِيَّةٌ: see ثُبَةٌ, in two places.
مُثَبًّى Property collected together. (
TA.)
