Lh mentions this among what the women of the desert Arabs say when fascinating by means of charms; explained as أَرِقٌ فَأْرَقْ إِلَيْهِ.

But I incline to think that the explanation has been corrupted by a copyist from رَقَّ فَأَرِقَّ إِلَيْهِ or لَهُ, meaning may he be tender-hearted to me, and I will be tender-hearted to him.

And see also what follows.

Hence, meaning: such a one outlived such a one.

on this sense Esh-Shemmákh, or El-Akhtal, says: [The loss of a people whom I have outlived is more severe to me than abundant and long hair that has changed colour]

Hence, apparently, as though with a smiting pouring down, or poured down; also حَدْرً.

Or أَخَذَ مِائَةً فَصَبًّا.

Less than that, that is, فَدُونَ ذٰلِكَ, the opposite of فَصَاعِدًا; or the meaning is more than that, or above that, that is, like فَصَاعِدًا, i.e. مَا فَوْقَ ذٰلِكَ.

From above.

According to AO, it may also be a plural of صَبُوبٌ or of صَابٌّ; but Az says that, according to others, it is not the plural of either of these two words, their plural being صُبُبٌ.

Said in a tradition about conflicts and factions, or seditions; here أَسَاوِد means great and noxious serpents.

صُبًّا, according to Ez-Zuhree, is from الصَّبُّ, the act of pouring out or forth; for the serpent, he says, when it wants to bite, raises itself and then darts (literally pours) down upon the one it bites.

Ez-Zuhree says that صُبًّا is the plural of صَبُوبٌ, originally صُبُبًا, as رَجُلٌ صَبٌّ is originally صَبِبٌ; and IAmb says the same.

But IAar is related to have said that أَسَاوِد means companies, plural of سَوَادٌ, and صُبًّا pouring, one upon another, with slaughter.

And some say that it is صُبَّى, in measure like حُبْلَى, and that it is from صَبَا, meaning he inclined to the things of the present world, and so like غُزَّى, plural of غَازٍ; see صَابٍ in the article صبو.

IAar used also to say that it is originally صُبَّأً, with ء (plural of صَابِئٌ), from صَبَأً عَلَيْهِ, he came, or came forth, upon him unexpectedly.

And a سُفْرَة, a piece of skin in which the traveller puts his food, or the thing on which one eats; so called because the food is poured into it, or upon it; or a thing like the سُفْرَة.

And صُنَّةٌ, with ن, means the same.

See also صُبَابَةٌ, with which it is synonymous.

Also a company of men: apparently figurative, though it is said that this is the primary meaning, and that its use of camels, and sheep or goats, and the like, is figurative.

A detached number of horses, of camels, of sheep or goats, and of dirhems, or pieces of money: or from ten to forty: or from twenty to thirty and forty of camels and of sheep or goats: or less than a hundred of camels: or, of camels, the same as صِرْمَةٌ, and from ten to forty of goats: or a flock of sheep or a herd of goats, as being likened to a company of men: or from twenty to forty of sheep and of goats, or of goats in particular: or about fifty: or from sixty to seventy: and of camels about five or six: and a collection of dirhems, or pieces of money, and of wheat, or food, and the like: and a piece of a thing: or a small quantity or portion of wealth or property.

And a slope, a sloping place, or ground sloping down; and so صَبِيبٌ, of which the plural is أَصْبَابٌ; so too صَبُوبٌ and صُبُوبٌ, with fatḥ and with ḍamm.

That is, الصَّبُوبُ means that down which you descend, or have descended, and its plural is صُبُبٌ, like عُمُدٌ, plural of عَمُودٌ; and so الصُّبُوبُ.

Or, as some say, الصَّبُوبُ, with fatḥ, is a name for the water and the like that is poured out upon a man, like طَهُورٌ and غَسُولٌ; and صُبُوبٌ, with ḍamm, is the plural of صَبَبٌ.

But AZ mentions having heard the Arabs apply صَبُوبٌ to a slope, or sloping place, and says that its plural is صُبُبٌ.

And الصَّبَبُ مِنَ الرَّمْلِ means what has poured out, or forth, or down, of sand; and the plural of صَبَبٌ is أَصْبَابٌ.

on this sense Or what is poured forth of sweat and of blood.

And some say: the expressed juice of عَنْدَم [or dragon's blood].

A 'Obeyd (or, according to another copy, Aboo-'Obeydeh) says it is the juice of the leaves of sesame, or of some other plant, which was described to him in Egypt, the colour of the juice being red tinged with blackness; and some say it is the expressed juice of the leaves of the حِنَّآء.
