7 انصبّ ذ It (water, S, M, and the like, M) poured out or forth, or became poured out or forth; (S, M, A, K;) as also ↓ صَبَّ, (M, Msb, K,) aor. صَبِ3َ , (Msb, TA,) inf. n. صَبِيبٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ تصبّب, (M, K,) which is of a form rarely occurring as that of a quasi-pass. of an unaugmented triliteral verb, being generally that of the quasi-pass. of a verb of the form فَعَّلَ; (MF, TA;) [but this app. denotes its doing so repeatedly; and abundantly, like تَدَفَّقَ, q. v.;] and ↓ اصطبّ. (K.) One says, المَاآءُ يَنْصَبُّ مِنَ الجَبَلِ, (TA,) and من الجبل ↓ يَتَصَبَّبُ, (S, TA,) The water descends, little by little, from the mountain. (S, TA.) And العَرَقُ ↓ تصبّب [ The sweat flowed ], and الدَّمُ [ the blood ]. (A.) And عَرَقًا ↓ تَصَبَّبْتُ [which may be rendered I flowed with sweat ] is a phrase of the Arabs, meaning تصبّب عَرَقِى [ my sweat flowed ]: thus the act is literally ascribed to the speaker, and what is essentially the agent becomes a specificative: it is not allowable to say عَرَقًا تَصَبَّبْتُ; for, as it is not allowable to put the agent before the verb, so it is not allowable to put the specificative, when it is virtually the agent, before the verb.

(TA in art. دفق.) ― -b3- See also 1, in three places. ― -b4- انصب النَّاسُ عَلَى المَاآءِ [generally implies descent, but] means (assumed tropical:) The people collected together, or assembled, at the water.
