ذبح

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

ذُبَّاحٌ ذ (T, S, K) and sometimes ↓ ذُبَاحٌ, without teshdeed, (T, K,) the former the more common, (T, K,) but disallowed by AHeyth, who holds it to be one of the words of the measure فُعَالٌ denoting diseases, (TA,) (tropical:) Cracks in the inner [i. e. lower ] sides of the toes, (S, K, TA,) next the fore part of the foot: (TA:) or a cut across the inner sides of the toes: (Ibn-Buzurj, T:) or a crack in the inner side, or sole, of the foot: (IAar, TA voce نَكْبَةٌ:) pl. ذَبَابِيحُ. (TA.) Hence the saying, مَا دُونَهُ شَوْكَةٌ وَلَا ذُبَّاحٌ (tropical:) [ There is not in the way of its attainment a thorn nor are there any cracks in the inner sides of the toes, &c.: see also نَكْبَةٌ]. (S, TA.)
