maṣdarيُبْسٌmuḍāriʿيَيْبَسُ

Core sense — it was, or became, dry; it dried up; it became stiff or hardgenerated

1.1the plant, or herbage, became dryيَبِسَ النَّبَاتُ

Muḍāriʿ يَيْبَسُ, يَابَسُ and يَيْبِسُ; the last of these is irregular, so that it is like يَئِسَ. Maṣdar يُبْسٌ, يَبَسٌ, يَبْسٌ and يُبُوسَةٌ [the last is not said in the K to be a maṣdar, being mentioned there only in an explanation of the word يَبَسٌ, and by general rule it would be a maṣdar of يَبُسَ, which is probably an obsolete form].

It was, or became, dry; it dried, or dried up, after having been moist, humid, or succulent. Or rather: it was, or became, dry, or dried up; and also, [but perhaps figuratively,] it was, or became, stiff, rigid, tough, firm, resisting pressure, or hard. [The opposite of رَطُبَ], يُبْسٌ being the opposite of رُطُوبَةٌ.

يُبُوسَةٌ is a quality that necessarily implies difficulty of assuming form, of becoming separated, and of becoming united.

اِتَّبَسَ, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, the ى being changed into ت, as well as its original form اِيتَبَسَ [written اتَبَسَ in the TA because it has the conjunction وَ prefixed to it], muḍāriʿ يَتَّبِسُ for the former and يَاتَبِسُ for the latter, means the same as يَبِسَ; or, according to Ibn-Es-Sarráj, it is quasi-passive of يَبَّسَهُ, and so means it became dried, or dried up.

[تيبّس also occurs, in the TA, art. عكس.]

This is the reading in a copy of the M [agreeing with an explanation of its ism fāʿil يَابِسٌ], and in a copy of the A it is written ايْبَسْ.

The second is from أَيْبَسَ, like أَكْرِمْ. Said to a man.

Nounيَابِسٌ2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — dry, dried up; stiff, rigid, tough, hardgenerated

1figurative · مجازdry fire-woodحَطَبٌ يَبْسٌ

Dry, or dried up, after having been moist, humid, or succulent; or rather, simply dry, or dried up; and also, [but perhaps figuratively,] stiff, rigid, tough, firm, resisting pressure, or hard. [See form 1.]

Plural يُبَّسٌ and يَبْسٌ, the latter being like رَكْبٌ as plural of راكِبٌ.

يُبْسٌ is a dialectal variant of يَبْسٌ; or يَبْسٌ is rather an ism jamʿ of يَابِسٌ, as is يَبَسٌ; or this last is used by poetic licence for يَبْسٌ.

يَبْسٌ means the same as يَابِسٌ, as do يَبَسٌ, يَبِسٌ, يَبِيسٌ, يَبْوسٌ, يَبَاسٌ and أَيْبَسُ.

Or يَبَسٌ means dry from its origin, never having been known moist, while يَبْسٌ is applied to a thing dry after having been known to be moist.

As to the path of Moses, [to which the first of these two adjectives is applied in the Kur. 20:79,] it had never been known as a path either moist or dry, for God only showed it to them created such; but the word is also read with sukoon to the ب, because, though it had not been a path, it was a place that had held water and had dried up. The latter reading is that of El-Hasan El-Basree; and El-Aamash read the word with kesr to the ب.

Th says this, as though the wood were dry naturally.

J says يَبَسٌ means a place dry after having been moist, and so in the passage of the Kur. mentioned above. Fei says it means a place that has had water in it which has gone away; or, as Az says, a path with no moisture in it.

ISd says يَبْسٌ and يَبَس mean a place that is dry; and so too when applied to land whose water and pasturage have dried up. The latter, so applied, also means hard, as does يَابِسٌ applied to a stone.

dry, or dried up, said of a plant or herbageيَبيسٌ

يَابِسٌ is also sometimes used in this way, the former being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ.

Or it is applied to herbs, or leguminous plants, of the sort termed أَحْرَار [that are eaten without being cooked, or that are slender and succulent], and of the sort termed ذُكُور [that are hard and thick, or thick and rough]; or, to those herbs and leguminous plants that become scattered when they dry up, as also يُبْسٌ and يَبْسٌ; but not to what is dry of the حَلِىّ, صِلِّيَان and حَلَمَة.

Qur’ān 20:77 matched to Lane’s own quotation of it Lane cites “Kur. xx. 79”
Qur’ān 20:77 Lane quotes this verse
وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى فَٱضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَـٰفُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ

Qur’ānic occurrences يَابِس
6:59
وَعِندَهُۥ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ ۚ وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا وَلَا حَبَّةٍ فِى ظُلُمَـٰتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا رَطْبٍ وَلَا يَابِسٍ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

With Him are the keys of the unseen, the treasures that none knoweth but He. He knoweth whatever there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or depths) of the earth, nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered), but is (inscribed) in a record clear (to those who can read).
