إِرْمِينِيَةُ:
بكسر أوله ويفتح، وسكون ثانيه، وكسر الميم، وياء ساكنة، وكسر النون، وياء
خفيفة مفتوحة: اسم لصقع عظيم واسع في جهة الشمال، والنسبة إليها أرمنيّ على غير قياس، بفتح الهمزة وكسر الميم، وينشد بعضهم:
ولو شهدت أمّ القديد طعاننا، ... بمرعش، خيل الأرمنيّ أرنّت
وحكى إسماعيل بن حمّاد فتحهما معا، قال أبو عليّ:
أرمينية إذا أجرينا عليها حكم العربي كان القياس في همزتها أن تكون زائدة، وحكمها أن تكسر لتكون مثل إجفيل وإخريط وإطريح ونحو ذلك، ثم ألحقت ياء النسبة، ثم ألحق بعدها تاء التأنيث، وكان القياس في النسبة إليها أرمينيّ، إلا أنها لما وافق ما بعد الراء منها ما بعد الحاء في حنيفة حذفت الياء كما حذفت من حنيفة في النسب وأجريت ياء النسبة مجرى تاء التأنيث في حنيفة كما أجرينا مجراها في روميّ وروم، وسنديّ وسند، أو يكون مثل بدويّ ونحوه مما غيّر في النسب، قال أهل السّير:
سمّيت أرمينية بأرمينا بن لنطا بن أومر بن يافث ابن نوح، عليه السلام، وكان أول من نزلها وسكنها، وقيل: هما أرمينيتان الكبرى والصّغرى، وحدّهما من برذعة إلى باب الأبواب، ومن الجهة الأخرى إلى بلاد الروم وجبل القبق وصاحب السرير، وقيل: إرمينية الكبرى خلاط ونواحيها وإرمينية الصغرى تفليس ونواحيها، وقيل: هي ثلاث أرمينيات، وقيل:
أربع، فالأولى: بيلقان وقبلة وشروان وما انضمّ إليها عدّ منها، والثانية: جرزان وصغدبيل وباب فيروز قباذ واللّكز، والثالثة: البسفرجان ودبيل وسراج طير وبغروند والنّشوى، والرابعة وبها قبر صفوان بن المعطّل صاحب رسول الله، صلى الله عليه وسلم، وهو قرب حصن زياد عليه شجرة نابتة لا يعرف أحد من الناس ما هي، ولها حمل يشبه اللوز يؤكل بقشره وهو طيّب جدّا، فمن الرابعة: شمشاط وقاليــقلا وأرجيش وباجنيس، وكانت كور أرّان والسيسجان ودبيل والنّشوى وسراج طير وبغروند وخلاط وباجنيس في مملكة الروم، فافتتحها الفرس وضمّوها إلى ملك شروان التي فيها صخرة موسى، عليه السلام، التي بقرب عين الحيوان، ووجدت في كتاب الملحمة المنسوب إلى بطليموس: طول أرمينية العظمى ثمان وسبعون درجة، وعرضها ثمان وثلاثون درجة وعشرون دقيقة، داخلة في الإقليم الخامس، طالعها تسع عشرة درجة من السرطان، يقابلها خمس عشرة درجة من الجدي، ووسط سمائها خمس عشرة درجة من الحمل، بيت حياتها خمس عشرة درجة من الميزان، قال: ومدينة أرمينية الصغرى طولها خمس وسبعون درجة وخمسون دقيقة، وعرضها خمس وأربعون درجة، طالعها عشرون درجة من السرطان، يقابلها مثلها من الجدي بيت ملكها مثلها من الحمل بيت عاقبتها مثلها من الميزان، ولها شركة في العوّاء وفي الدّبّ الأكبر ولها شركة في كوكب هوز، وهو كوكب الحكماء، وما يولد مولود قط وكان طالعه كوكب هوز الا وكان حكيما، وبه ولد بطليموس وبقراط وأوقليدس، وهذه المدينة مقابلة لمدينة الحكماء، يدور عليها من كل بنات نعش أربعة أجزاء، وهي صحيحة الهواء، وكل من سكنها طال عمره، بإذن الله تعالى، هذا كله من كتاب الملحمة. وفي كتب الفرس: أن جرزان وأرّان كانتا في أيدي الخزر، وسائر ارمينية في ايدي الروم يتولّاها صاحبها أرميناقس وسمّته العرب أرميناق، فكانت الخزر تخرج فتغير، فربما بلغت الدينور، فوجّه قباذ بن فيروز الملك قائدا من عظماء
قواده في اثني عشر ألفا، فوطئ بلاد أرّان ففتح ما بين النهر الذي يعرف بالرّسّ إلى شروان، ثم ان قباذ لحق به فبنى بأرّان مدينة البيلقان، ومدينة برذعة، وهي مدينة الثغر كله، ومدينة قبلة، ونفى الخزر ثم بنى سدّ اللبن في ما بين شروان واللّان، وبنى على سدّ اللبن ثلاثمائة وستين مدينة، خربت بعد بناء باب الأبواب. ثم ملك بعد قباذ ابنه أنوشروان فبنى مدينة الشابران ومدينة مسقط ثم بنى باب الأبواب، وإنما سمّيت أبوابا لأنها بنيت على طرق في الجبل، وأسكن ما بنى من هذه المواضع قوما سمّاهم السياسجين، وبنى بأرض أرّان أبواب شكّى والقميران وأبواب الدّودانية، وهم أمة يزعمون أنهم من بني دودان بن أسد بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن الياس بن مضر بن معدّ بن عدنان، وبنى الدّرزوقية، وهي اثنا عشر بابا، على كل باب منها قصر من حجارة، وبنى بأرض جرزان مدينة يقال لها صغدبيل، وأنزلها قوما من الصّغد وأبناء فارس وجعلها مسلحة، وبنى مما يلي الروم في بلاد جرزان قصرا يقال له باب فيروز قباذ، وقصرا يقال له باب لازقة، وقصرا يقال له باب بارقة، وهو على بحر طرابزندة، وبنى باب اللان وباب سمسخى، وبنى قلعة الجردمان وقلعة سمشلدى، وفتح جميع ما كان بأيدي الروم من أرمينية، وعمّر مدينة دبيل ومدينة النّشوى وهي نقجوان، وهي مدينة كورة البسفرجان، وبنى حصن ويص وقلاعا بأرض السيسجان، منها: قلعة الكلاب والشاهبوش وأسكن هذه الــقلاع والحصون ذوي البأس والنجدة، ولم تزل أرمينية بأيدي الروم حتى جاء الإسلام، وقد ذكر في فتوح أرمينية في مواضعه من كل بلد، وذكر ابن واضح الأصبهاني أنه كتب لعدة من ملوكها وأطال. المقام بأرمينية ولم ير بلدا أوسع منه ولا أكثر عمارة، وذكر أن عدة ممالكها مائة وثماني عشرة مملكة، منها: صاحب السرير ومملكته من اللان وباب الأبواب وليس إليها إلا مسلكين، مسلك إلى بلاد الخزر ومسلك إلى أرمينية، وهي ثمانية عشر ألف قرية، وأرّان أول مملكته بأرمينية، فيها أربعة آلاف قرية وأكثرها لصاحب السرير، وسائر الممالك فيما بين ذلك تزيد على أربعة آلاف وتنقص عن مملكة صاحب السرير، ومنها: شروان وملكها يقال له شروان شاه. وسئل بعض علماء الفرس عن الأحرار الذين بأرمينية لم سمّوا بذلك؟ فقال:
هم الذين كانوا نبلاء بأرض أرمينية قبل أن تملكها الفرس، ثم إن الفرس أعتقوهم لما ملكوا وأقروهم على ولايتهم، وهم بخلاف الأحرار من الفرس الذين كانوا باليمن وبفارس فإنهم لم يملكوا قط قبل الإسلام فسمّوا أحرارا لشرفهم، وقد نسب بهذه النسبة قوم من أهل العلم، منهم: أبو عبد الله عيسى بن مالك بن شمر الأرمني، سافر إلى مصر والمغرب.

(M, K.) Accord. to F [and ISd] and several others, this is the proper art. of the former word, the ء being considered by them augmentative: accord. to Z and others, its proper art. is دبى: and some also allow its being written and pronounced دُبًّى: this is mentioned by Kz and 'Iyád as a dial. var. of دُبَّآء.

(Mgh.) دَبْدَبٌ The walk of the long-legged ant. (M, K.) In the T it is said that ↓ دَبْدَبَةٌ signifies The long-legged ant [itself: but this is perhaps a mistranscription].

(Az, in TA, art. جب.) b2: And A bulky, or corpulent, man. (K.) دَابَّةٌ [originally a fem. part. n.], for نَفْسٌ دَابَّةٌ, (M,) [or the ة is added لِلنَّقْلِ, i. e. for the purpose of transferring the word from the category of epithets to that of substs.,] Anything that walks [or creeps or crawls] upon the earth; as also ↓ دَبِيبٌ: (S: see دِبَّةٌ:) an animal that walks or creeps or crawls (يَدِبُّ); (M, A, K;) discriminating and not discriminating: (M:) any animal upon the earth: (Msb:) it is said in the Kur [xxiv. 44], وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِنْ مَآءٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمْشِى عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ [And God hath created every دابّة of water (meaning of the seminal fluid); and of them is he that goeth upon his belly, and of them is he that goeth upon two legs, and of them is he that goeth upon four]: here, as دابّة applies to a rational and an irrational creature, the expression فمنهم is used; for which, if it applied only to an irrational creature, فَمِنْهَا or فَمِنْهُنَّ would be used: moreover, the expression من يمشى is used, though دابّة applies originally to an irrational creature, [or rather a beast, and a reptile,] because the different classes of beings are spoken of collectively: (M:) and this passage of the Kur refutes the assertion of him who excludes the bird from the significations of this word: (Msb:) in the last verse but one of ch. xxxv. of the Kur, it is said to relate to mankind and the jinn (or genii) and every rational being; or to have a general signification: (M:) its predominant signification is a beast that is ridden: (S, M, A, K:) especially a beast of the equine kind; i. e. a horse, a mule, and an ass: (Kull:) or particularly a بِرْذَوْن [meaning hackney, or horse for ordinary use and for journeying: (M:) but as particularly applied, when used absolutely, to a horse and a mule, it is an adventitious conventional term: (Msb:) it is applied to a male and a female: (M, A, Msb, K:) and is properly an epithet: (M:) pl. دَوَابُّ. (Msb, TA.) The dim. [signifying Any small animal that walks or creeps or crawls upon the earth, a small beast, a small reptile or creeping thing, a creeping insect, and any insect, and also a mollusk, a shell-fish (as in an instance cited voce مَحَارَةٌ in art. حور) and the like,] is ↓ دُوَيْبَّةٌ, (Zj, T, Msb,) in which the ى is quiescent, but pronounced with إِشْمَام [i. e. a slight approximation to the sound of kesr], as it is in every similar case, in a dim. n., when followed by a doubled letter: (Zj, T:) and ↓ دُوَابَّةٌ also has been heard, with the ى changed into ا anomalously. (Msb; and L in art. هد, on the authority of ISd.) b2: دَابَّةُ الأَرْضِ [The Beast of the Earth] is an appellation of one of the signs of the time of the resurrection: (S, M, K:) or the first of those signs. (K.) It is said to be a beast sixty cubits in length, or height, with legs, and with fur (وَبَر), and to be diverse in form, resembling a number of different animals. (TA.) It will come forth in Tihámeh, or between Es-Safà and ElMarweh, (M,) or at Mekkeh, from Jebel Es-Safà, which will rend open for its egress, during one of the nights when people are going to Minè; or from the district of Et-Táïf; (K) or from three places, three several times. (M, K.) It will make, upon the face of the unbeliever, a black mark; and upon the face of the believer, a white mark: the unbeliever's mark will spread until his whole face becomes black; and the believer's, until his whole face becomes white: then they will assemble at the table, and the believer will be known from the unbeliever. (M.) It is also said that it will have with it the rod of Moses and the seal of Solomon: with the former it will strike the believer; and with the latter it will stamp the face of the unbeliever, impressing upon it “ This is an unbeliever. ” (K.) b3: See also أَرَضَةٌ.

دَيْبُوبٌ: see دَبُوبٌ.

دُوَابَّةٌ: dims. of دَابَّةٌ, q. v.

دُوَيْبَّةٌ: dims. of دَابَّةٌ, q. v.

أَدَبٌّ Having down (K, TA) upon the face: (TA:) or having much hair: (M, K:) and having much وَبَر [or fur]: (M:) it is applied to a man: (M:) and to a camel, (M, K,) in the second of these senses, (K, TA,) or in the third sense, or as meaning having much fur upon the face; (TA;) or i. q. أَزَبُّ: (M:) and occurs in a trad. written أَدْبَب, (M, K,) to assimilate it in measure to a preceding word, namely, حَوْءَب: (M:) the fem. is دَبَّآءُ; with which ↓ دَبِبَةٌ is syn.; (M, K;) signifying a woman having hair upon her face: (TA:) or having much hair upon the جَبِين [or part above the temple]. (M, TA.) مَدِبٌّ and مَدَبٌّ The track, or course, of a torrent, (S, M, K, *) and of ants: (S, K:) pl. مَدَابُّ. (TA.) One says, of a sword, لَهُ أَثْرٌ كَأَنَّهُ مَدَبُّ النَّمْلِ and مَدَابُّ الذَّرِّ [It has diversified wavy marks like the track of ants and the tracks of little ants]. (TA.) The subst. is with kesr; and the inf. n., with fet-h; accord. to a rule constantly obtaining, (S, * K, * TA,) except in some anomalous instances, (TA,) when the verb is of the measure فَعَلَ (S, K, TA) or فَعِلَ, (TA,) and its aor. is of the measure يَفْعِلُ. (S, K, TA.) [Here it should be observed that مَجْرًى, given as the explanation of مَدِبٌّ and مَدَبٌّ in the K, is both an inf. n. and a n. of place and of time: but J clearly explains both these words as above; and F seems, in the K, to assign to them both the same signification.]

أَرْضٌ مَدَبَّةٌ A land abounding with دِبَبَة [or bears]. (T, S, M. *) مُدَبَّبٌ, like مُعَظَّمٌ, (TA,) or مِدْبَبٌ, (so in a copy of the T, according to the TT,) an epithet applied to a camel, (T, TA,) signifying الذى يمشى دبادب (TA) [app. دَبَادِبَ, and if so it seems to mean That walks quickly, with short steps: or that makes a sound with his feet, like دُبْ دُبْ: see دَبْدَبَةٌ: but in the TT it is written دَباْ دَباْ; perhaps correctly دَبًّا دَبًّا, creeping and creeping].
