Core sense — bad, ill-composed feathers of an arrow; corrupt speech; a weak, stupid mangenerated
1bad, disordered, or ill-composed feathers [of an arrow]—لُغَابٌ
El-Kumeyt has used لَغَبٌ for this word, as نَهَرٌ is used for نَهْرٌ, because of the guttural letter.
bad, disordered, or ill-composed feathers [of an arrow]—لَغِيبٌ
So in the S, the CK, and a manuscript copy of the K; or else لَغِبٌ.
Synonym رِيشٌ فَاسِدٌ, that is, the longer [or wider] lateral halves of feathers [when they have not the shorter, or narrower, lateral halves set between two of them]; the opposite of لُؤَامٌ.
Or the feathers termed لُغَاب are the longer [or wider] lateral halves, and a single one of them is called لُغَابَةٌ [by which explanation لغاب is a collective generic noun]; the opposite of لؤام.
Or the feathers of an arrow are so termed when they are not equal or uniform; when they are equal and uniform they are termed لؤام.
لؤام and لغاب are applied to feathers of which a longer [or wider] lateral half is next to a shorter [or narrower] one, which is the best that can be; and لغاب and لغب are applied to those of which two longer [or wider] lateral halves, or two shorter [or narrower] ones, are next each other.
