زرب

[as an inf. n.] signifies The constructing a زَرِيبَة , (K, TA,) i. e. an enclosure of wood, (TA,) for sheep, or goats: (K, TA:) you say, زَرَبْتُ الغَنَمَ , aor. أَزْرُبُهَا , inf. n. زَرْبٌ : (TA:) [or this, I think, is a mistake for what here follows:] زَرَبْتُ لِلْغَنَمِ , aor. أَزْرُبُ , inf. n. زَرْبٌ (Ks, S:) [i. e. I constructed an enclosure of wood for the sheep or goats: this meaning is plainly indicated, though not expressed, in the S and TA:] but in some copies of the K, in the place of بِنَآءُ الزَّرِيبَةِ لِلْغَنَمِ , as explaining الزَّرْبُ , we find بنات الزريبة الغنم [meaning that بَنَاتُ الزَّرِيبَةِ signifies sheep, or goats]. (TA.) And زَرَبَ البَهْمَ فِى زَرْبِهَا or زَرِيبَتِهَا He put the بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] into their place [or enclosure of wood]. (A. [And the like is said in the Ham p. 195.]) زَرِبَ , aor. زَرَبَ , (K, TA,) said of water, (TA,) It flowed; (K, TA;) like سَرِبَ . (TA.)

The بهم [i. e. lambs or kids, or young lambs or kids,] entered into the زرب [or enclosure of wood]. (A, TA. *) And انزرب الصَّائِدُ (S, TA) فِى قُتْرَتِهِ (TA) The hunter, or sportsman, entered into his lurking-place. (S, TA.)

, inf. n. اِزْرِبَابٌ , It (a plant, or herb,) became yellow, or red, while having in it greenness. (K, TA.)

A place of entrance. (AA, S, A, K.) And hence, accord. to AA, (S,) the same word, (S, A, K,) and زِرْبٌ , (ISk, S, K,) as some pronounce it, (ISk, S,) and زَرِيبَةٌ , (S, A, K,) The place of sheep or goats; (A, K, TA;) [i. e.] an enclosure of wood for sheep or goats: (S:) [said in the TA to be tropical; but not so accord. to the A:] pl. of the first (A, K) and second (K) زُرُوبٌ , (A, K,) and of the last زَرَائِبُ . (A.) And, as being likened thereto, (A,) زَرْبٌ and زَرِيبَةٌ signify also The lurking-place ( قُتْرَة ) of a hunter, or sportsman, (S, A, K,) or of an archer, or a shooter: (TA in explanation of the former word:) both signify a well [or pit] which the hunter, or sportsman, digs for himself that he may lie in wait therein for the game. (TA.) See also the next paragraph.

: see the next preceding paragraph. Also A channel in which water flows; (K;) and so زَرْبٌ . (TA.) It is said in a rejez of Kaab, 1 She passes the night between the channel of water and the concealing, or protecting, place: meaning that she is fed in the enclosures for camels &c., [ فِى الحظائر , thus I read for الحضائر (an evident mistranscription) in the TA,] and among the tents, or houses; not in the pasture-land. (TA.) تَبِيتُ بَيْنَ الزِّرْبِ وَالكَنِيفِ

and زُرْبِىٌّ , (K,) or, accord. to the L [and the A], on the authority of IAar, زَرْبِيَّةٌ , also said to be written زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ , (TA,) are sings. of زَرَابِىُّ , (K, TA,) which signifies نَمَارِقُ [app. as meaning Small pillows]: (S, A, K:) and carpets: or any things which are spread, and upon which one leans, or reclines: (A, K:) the like of this is said by Zj in explaining a phrase in which it occurs in the Kur lxxxviii. 16: or, accord. to Fr, it signifies carpets ( طَنَافِس ) having a fine nap, or pile: (TA:) also, [particularly,] (A,) carpets ( قُطُوع , A, or طَنَافِس , Har p. 377) of the fabric of El- Heereh; and the like thereof in fabric: (A, and Har ubi suprà:) or زربيّة signifies [simply] a carpet ( طِنْفِسَةٌ ): and a carpet ( بِسَاط ) having a nap, or pile: and a [piece of leather that is spread upon the ground, such as is called] نِطَع : and the like thereof in make. (TA. [See also the last sentence of this paragraph.]) [Hence,] one says, زَرَابِىُّ البَغْضَآءِ بَيْنَهُمْ مَبْثُوثَةٌ [The embellished coverings of vehement hatred are spread between them; i. e. vehement hatred concealed by fair professions &c. subsists between them]. (A.) The following saying, of Artáh Ibn-Suheiyeh, 1 is expl. by En-Nemiree as meaning [And we are sons of a paternal uncle, but] upon our enmity is a comely covering beneath which it is latent; [therein are vehement hatred and envious competition;] زَرَابِىُّ signifying [properly] carpets of sundry colours: (Ham p. 196:) it is also said to mean, in this instance, [concealed] enmities, and sayings that give pain; [the former of these two meanings being] from زَرَبْتُ البَهْمَ فِى الزَّرِيبَةِ , i. e. أَدْخَلْتُهُ : [the latter of them app. suggested by another reading, namely, زَأَانِبُ in the place of زَرَابِىُّ ; mentioned and thus explained in the Ham ubi suprà: the poet, therefore, is supposed to have meant, upon our state of union, or concord, ( ذات بيننا having two contr. significations,) have supervened concealed enmities, &c.:] or, as some say, the reading in the deewán of Artáh is زَرَائِبُ , as though pl. of زَرِيبَةٌ , which is likewise made to denote enmity because it is made to enter ( تُزْرَبُ , i. e. تُدْخَلُ ,) into the heart; or which may be metaphorically applied to a place of enmity latent in the bosom, from the same word as signifying the “ place in which are put lambs, or kids, and sheep, or goats: ” or, supposing the right reading to be زَرَابِىُّ , the poet may very properly mean, upon the vacant space between our tents, or houses, are carpets ( طَنَافِس and بُسُط ) spread for us, and we sit thereon, near together in the places, but with the hearts remote: (idem p. 195:) but with the reading زَأَانِبُ , mentioned above, occurs another variation, thus: عَلَى ذَاكَ بَيْنَنَا زَأَانِبُ ; meaning, notwithstanding that, between us are sayings that give pain. (Idem p. 196.) وَنَحْنُ بَنُو عَمٍّ عَلَى ذَاتِ بَيْنِنَا | زَرَابِىُّ فِيهَا بِغْضَةٌ وَتَنافُسُ وَيْلٌ لِلزَّرْبِيَّةِ , occurring in a trad., is said to mean 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.) 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.)

and زِرْبِيَّةٌ and زُرْبِيَّةٌ : see the next preceding paragraph, in three places. [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. ”]

, (in the CK زِرْباب ,) an arabicized word, (K, TA,) from [the Pers.] زَرْ آبْ , the hemzeh [in آبْ , for أَابْ ,] being changed into ى , (TA,) Gold: (IAar, K:) or the water thereof [i. e. water-gold; which may be deemed the more correct, as agreeing with the original]. (K.) And Anything yellow. (K.) 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.)
