1water poured out, or being poured out—سَاكِبٌ

water poured out, or being poured out—سَيْكَبٌ
water poured out, or being poured out—سَكِيبٌ
water poured out, or being poured out—أُسْكُوبٌ

This form is in the CK; it is omitted in the TA and in my MS. copy of the K.

Or: poured out, running on the surface of the earth without any excavation.

Or the first of these words means water poured out, and is a maṣdar used as an adjective, like صَبٌّ and غَوْرٌ applied as adjectives to water.

water running on the surface of the earth without any excavation—سَكُوبٌ
water pouring out, or being poured out—أُسْكُوبٌ

Or, as some say, pouring much; and this last also means running water.

Or it means دَائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ [i.e. continually pouring, or continually pouring in scattered large drops; as also سَكْبٌ, for from this it appears clearly that الهَطَلَانُ الدَّائِمُ, as an explanation of السَّكْبُ and الأُسْكُوبُ in the K, is a mistake for الدَّائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ].

Applied as an adjective to water and to blood; and also [probably in this sense] to clouds, and to a wound made with a spear or the like.

pouring, or poured forth—سَاكِبٌ

Applied as an adjective to tears.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredwide in step, said of a horse—سَكْبٌ

Or fleet, swift, or excellent in running; that runs much; or light, or active.

Or the former word, thus applied, means that runs violently.

having one or another of these meanings, said of a horse—أُسْكُوبٌ
that runs violently, said of a horse—فَيْضٌ

Likened to water pouring forth. Eth-Thaʿálebee also says that, applied to a horse, a man, or a boy, it means light of spirit, and brisk or lively in work or action.

the name of the first horse the Prophet possessed—السَّكْبُ
another name of that horse, and the name of a horse of Shebeeb Ibn-Moʿáwiyeh—السَّكَبُ
1.2figurative · مجاز — inferredthin clothes, resembling dust in their thinness—سَكَبٌ

A certain sort of clothes, or garments, so thin as to resemble dust, and as though resembling pouring water because of their thinness; IAar gives this meaning for the second form as well.

1.3figurative · مجاز — inferred

Applied to a man: tall; a dialectal variant of سَقْبٌ [q. v.].

1.4figurative · مجاز[We will put away from you a thing that would be to the people of your house]—نُمِيطُ عَنْكَ شَيْئًا يَكُونُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ سُبَّةً سَكْبًا

A necessary thing or affair; also a disgrace that is necessary, or unavoidable.

Lakeet Ibn-Zurárah said this to his brother Maabad, who, being a captive, required him to ransom him with two hundred camels; the meaning is a necessary, or an unavoidable, disgrace.

2

Also copper, or brass; or lead.

سَكَبٌ has the latter meaning, or both meanings, or all of the meanings.

Core sense — a certain sweet-smelling tree; the anemonegenerated

1

See the preceding entry, latter half, in three places.

2

Also a certain kind of tree, of sweet smell, as though its smell were that of the perfume called خَلُوق [q. v.]; it grows apart from others, on a single root, has a downy substance, and leaves like those of the صَعْتَر [a species of origanum, or marjoram], except that they are greener.

It grows in the plains and the valleys, and what has dried up of it is of no use to anyone. It has a fruit which is eaten, and the people of El-Hijáz make of it a beverage such as is termed نَبِيذ. Its fruit does not come forth in one year, but only after several years.

AHn says that the سَكَب is a herb that rises to the height of a cubit, with dust-coloured leaves like those of the هِنْدَبَآء [or endive], and an intensely white blossom of the form of that of the فِرْسِك [i.e. the peach, or a species or variety of it].
