Core sense — deviating from the right course; blowing obliquely between two cardinal winds; lame in the shouldergenerated

1figurative · مجازa man deviating from the right course of action, etc.—نَاكِبٌ عَنْهُ

1.1any wind that blows obliquely, taking a direction between the directions of two cardinal winds—نَكْبَاءُ

Feminine of أَنْكَبُ, used as an adjective.

Or a wind that blows obliquely, away from the direction from which the right (القُوَّم, that is, the cardinal) winds blow.

Or a particular wind that blows obliquely and takes a direction between the directions of two cardinal winds; it destroys the camels and the sheep and the like, and holds back the rain.

Or a wind that blows between the direction of the east, or easterly, wind and that of the north, or northerly, wind; the one between the south, or southerly, and the east, or easterly, winds being called جِرْبِيَاءُ [but see that word, and see below].

Or what are termed نُكْبُ الرِّيَاحِ [نُكْبٌ being the plural of نكباء] are four.

First, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالجَنُوبِ, the wind that blows between the direction of the east, or easterly, and that of the south, or southerly, wind; also called الأَزْيَبُ, a very thirsty wind that dries up the leguminous plants a great deal. But Et-Tarábulusee, in the Kf, and Mbr and IF hold that the ازيب is the جنوب, not its نكباء.

Second, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالشَّمَالِ, the wind that blows between the direction of the east, or easterly, and that of the north, or northerly, wind; also called الصَّابَيةُ, and called also النُّكَيْباَءُ, a diminutive meant to convey the opposite of a diminutive sense, for they find this wind to be very cold; it is very boisterous and very cold, and brings neither rain nor any good.

Third, the نكباءُ الشَّمَالِ وَالدَّبُورِ, the wind that blows between the direction of the north, or northerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الجِرْبِيَاءُ, and termed نَيِّحَةُ الأَزْيَبِ, the wind opposite to the ازيب; a cold wind, sometimes bringing a little rain. But Ibn-El-Ajdábee holds that the جربياء is the شمال.

Fourth, the نكباءُ الجَنُوبِ والدَّبُورِ, the wind that blows between the direction of the south, or southerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الهَيْفُ, and termed نَيِّحَةُ النُّكَيْباَءِ, the wind opposite to the نكيباء; a hot wind, and very thirsty.

According to Ibn-Kubás, the tract from which the نكباء blows [by which he means only the wind blowing from the north-east or thereabout] is the one extending between the point where the ذِرَاع rises [the asterism made up of the stars α and β of Gemini, E. 33 degrees N., in central Arabia; or α and β of Canis Minor, E. 7 degrees N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star; and the tract between the pole-star and the point where the ذراع sets is the tract from which the شمال blows.

Sh says that each of the four cardinal winds has its نكباء, which is named in relation to it. That of the صبا is the one between it and the شمال [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout], and it resembles it in gentleness, sometimes having sharpness, or violence; but this is seldom, only once in a long space of time. That of the شمال is the one between it and the دبور [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout], and it resembles it in coldness; it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ, and the Arabs call each of them شاميّة. That of the دبور is the one between it and the جنوب, blowing from the point where سُهَيْل sets [Canopus, that is, S. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia], and it resembles it in violence and boisterousness. And that of the جنوب is the one between it and the صبا [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout], and it is the wind that most resembles it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter.

The plural of نكباء is نُكْبٌ, as shown above. [See also تَبُّوعُ الشَّمْسِ in art. تبع.]

1.2the same as نَكْباَءُ—دَبُورٌ نكب

Apparently نَكْبٌ, originally a maṣdar used as an adjective, and so applicable without ة to a feminine noun.

Apparently the نكباء of the دبور, a south-westerly wind.

1.3a camel having a disease in the shoulder-joint, or in the shoulder-blade, and so limping—أَنْكَبُ

Or a camel that walks on one side, or inclining, or as though he walked on one side.

1.4an inclining pulley—فَامَةٌ نَكْبَاءُ

inclining pulleys—قِيَمٌ نُكْبٌ

1.5figurative · مجاز — inferredoverpowering, or oppressive; unjust, or tyrannical—أَنْكَبُ

1.6figurative · مجاز — inferredfortune abounds with evil accidents, disasters, and calamities—الدَّهْرُ أَنْكَبُ لَا يُلِبُّ

That is, it deviates much, or often, from the right course; it will not stay in one state.

A proverb.

According to one relation, الدهر انكث الخ.

(TA.) Accord. to Ibn-Kubás, the tract whence blows the نكباء [by which he means only the wind that blows from the north-east or thereabout] is that extending between the point where rises the ذِرَاع [or the asterism composed of the stars α and β of Gemini, E. 33 degrees N., in central Arabia; or α and β of Canis Minor, E. 7 degrees N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star: and the tract between the pole-star and the point where sets the ذراع is the tract whence blows the شمال . Sh says, Each of the four [cardinal] winds has its نكباء , which is called in relation to it: that of the صبا is that which is between it and the شمال ; [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in gentleness; sometimes having sharpness, or vehemence; but this is seldom; only once in a long space of time: that of the شمال is that which is between it and the دبور ; [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in coldness: it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ : each of them is called by the Arabs شاميّة : that of the دبور is that which is between it and the جنوب ; blowing from the point where sets سُهَيْل [or Canopus; i. e., S. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia]; and it resembles it in its violence and boisterousness: and that of the جنوب is that which is between it and the صبا ; [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout;] and it is the wind most resembling it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter.

Nounمَنْكِبٌ9 senses · 2 main

Core sense — the shoulder; the side of a thing; the feathers next after the primaries; a superintendentgenerated

Masculine. The shoulder, that is, the place where the upper arm bone joins the shoulder-blade, in a man and the like; the place where the upper arm bone, the shoulder-blade and the tendon called حَبْلُ العَاتِقِ join, in a man, a bird, or anything else.

[It seems to be regarded by some as originally meaning “a place of deflection”, but] Sb denies that it is a noun of place, because, were it so, it would be مَنْكَبٌ; he does not allow it to be included in the class of مَطْلِعٌ, because that is rare.

Plural مَنَاكِبُ.

رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ المَنَاكِبِ means a man having a strong shoulder, as though the singular were used of each part of the joint and the plural of the whole.

1.1figurative · مجاز[they shook their shoulder-joints;] that is, they rejoiced, or were joyful—هَزُّوا مَنَاكِبَهُمْ
