1 تَبڤ3َ [تَبَّ,
aor. ـِ
inf. n. تَبٌّ, and perhaps ↓ تَبَبٌ and ↓ تَبَابٌ and ↓ تَبِيبٌ, He, or it, suffered loss, or diminution; or became lost: and perished, or died: as also ↓ تبّب,
inf. n. تَتْبِيبٌ: and

K) and ↓ تَتْبِيبٌ (
M,
K) [as

S,
A,
Msb,
K,) [said to be] a
subst. from تَبَّبَهُ, with teshdeed, (
Msb,) and ↓ تَبَبٌ and ↓ تَبِيبٌ: (
K:) or the last three signify [simply] perdition, or death: (
M:) and ↓ تَتْبِيبٌ is explained as signifying loss, or diminution, that brings, or leads, to perdition or death; (
IAth,
TA;) and so ↓ تَبَابٌ; (

M,
K,) and تَبَّتْ يَدُهُ,
aor. ـِ (
Msb,)
inf. n. تَبٌّ and ↓ تَبَابٌ, but
IDrd says that the former of these seems to be the
inf. n., and the latter the simple
subst., (
M,) May his arms, or hands, and his arm, or hand, suffer loss, or be lost, or perish: (
T,
M,
Msb,
K, and
Bd in cxi. 1:) or (
