(Idem p. 196.) b2: ↓ وَيْلٌ لِلزَّرْبِيَّةِ, occurring in a trad., is said to mean (tropical:) Wo to those who go in to lords, or princes, and, when they say what is evil, or say anything, say, He has spoken truth: such persons being likened, in respect of their variable conduct, to one of the زَرَابِىّ mentioned above in the first sentence of this paragraph; or to sheep, or goats, which are thus called in relation to the زَرْب, i. e. the enclosure to which they repair, because they are obsequious to the lords, or princes, and follow their steps with the submissiveness of sheep or goats to their pastor. (TA.) b3: Accord. to El-Muärrij, (TA,) ↓ زَرَابِىُّ is applied to plants, as meaning Such as have become yellow, or red, while having in them greenness: (K, TA:) and when they saw the colours in carpets and other articles of furniture that are spread, they likened them to such plants. (TA.) زَرْبِيَّةٌ and زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. b2: [Golius, finding the second and third of these words expl. by the Pers\. شادروان, (which is often applied by Arabs in the present day to “ an artificial fountain that throws up water,”) has erroneously, as Freytag has observed, supposed that they may signify “ Euripus, fons in altum saliens. ”]

(K.) b2: And Anything yellow. (K.) A2: Also A certain black singingbird; (MF, TA;) called also ابو زولق, [app. a mistranscription for ابو زريق, as in Freytag's Lex., i. e. أَبُو زُرَيْقٍ,] accord. to the book entitled “ Mantik et-Teyr. ” (TA.) مِزْرَابٌ i. q. مِرْزَابٌ [q. v., said to be not a chaste word].

(O.) b2: [Accord. to Freytag, تزيّف signifies It was adulterated: and in Har p. 612 it is expl. as signifying صار زيّفا فى احواله, which seems to have this or a similar meaning; زيّفا being app. a mistranscription for زَيْفًا or مُزَيَّفًا.]

زَائِفٌ One who walks in the manner described in the first sentence of this art.; as also ↓ زَيْفٌ, which is an inf. n. used as an epithet: (TA:) [and so ↓ زَيَّافٌ, but properly in an intensive sense:] and ↓ زَيَّافَةٌ a she-camel proud and self-conceited [in her gait]. (S.) Hence, (TA,) الزَّائِفُ signifies The lion; as also ↓ الزَّيَّافُ; (O, K;) but the latter has an intensive meaning: (TA:) so called because of his proud and selfconceited walk. (O, TA.) A2: Also, and ↓ زَيْفٌ, (S, Kr, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) the latter an inf. n. used as an epithet, (Msb,) or, accord. to IDrd, this is a vulgar term, (O,) or bad, (K,) applied to a dirhem, or piece of money, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) to gold and to silver, (Har p. 369, referring to the latter word,) Bad: (Kr, Msb, and Har ubi suprà:) or such as are rejected, or returned, because of adulterating alloy therein: (Mgh, O, K:) or, as some say, such as are less bad than what are termed بَهْرَج, being such as are rejected by [the officers of] the government-treasury; whereas the بهرج are such as are rejected by the merchants, or traders: (Mgh:) the pl. is زِيَافٌ and أَزْيَافٌ, (O, K,) [the latter a pl. of pauc.,] or the pl. of ↓ زَيْفٌ is زُيُوفٌ, and the pl. of زَائِفٌ is زُيَّفٌ: (Mgh, * Msb:) accord. to some, the زُيُوف are such as are done over with a compound of quicksilver and sulphur. (Msb.) [It is implied in the Msb that ↓ زَيْفٌ is the more common term, though, as has been stated above, it is said by IDrd to be vulgar: and it is also applied to human beings: for ex.,] a poet says, تَرَى القَوْمَ أَشْبَاهًا إِذَا نَزَلُوامَعًا وَفِى القَوْمِ زَيْفٌ مِثْلُ زَيْفِ الدَّرَاهِمِ [Thou seest the people to be likes when they alight together; but among the people are bad like the bad of dirhems.] (TA.)
