دبو ند دبى

دَبًى دب دبى دبي دبيي or دَبًا [sometimes written with ى and sometimes with ا] Locusts before they fly: (S:) or locusts when they [ first ] put themselves in motion, and become black, before their wings grow: in their first state, when they are white, they are termed سَرْءٌ: (AO, T:) or the smallest of locusts, and of ants: (M, K:) or [ locusts ] after the state of that which is termed سِرْوَةٌ: (M:) [see جَرَادٌ:] n. un. دَباةٌ. (S, M.) ― -b2- [Hence,] ↓ جَاآءَ بِدَبَى دُبَىٍّ, (M,) or بِدَبَا دُبَىٍّ, and بِدَبَا دُبَيَّيْنِ, (IAar, T, Mj, K,) and ↓ بِدَبَى دُبَيَّانَ and بِدَبَى دُبَيَّانٍ, (Th, M,) (assumed tropical:) He came with, or brought, much; and what was good: (M:) he came with, or brought, much property or wealth, or many cattle: (M, K:) ↓ دُبَىٌّ is a soft tract in EdDahnà, frequented by locusts, which lay their eggs therein; (M;) it is a spacious place; so that the phrase [جَاآءَ بِدَبَى دُبَىٍّ] is as though it meant he came with, or brought, property, or wealth, or cattle, like the [ locusts termed ] دبا of the spacious place called دبىّ. (T.) J is in error as to this phrase: (K, TA:) for it is stated in the S, as on the authority of IAar, that one says, جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ بِدَبَا دَبَا, meaning Such a one came with, or brought, property, or wealth, or cattle, like the دبا in abundance: and thus it is found in his handwriting: and in the Tekmileh it is written, as on the same authority, بِدَبَى دَبًى. (TA.) Accord. to Abu-l-'Abbás [Th], the [right] phrase is ↓ بِدَبَى دُبِىٍّ: and in one place he says that ↓ دَبىٌّ [thus (for دَبِىٌّ) in the TT as from the T, but probably a mistranscription for ↓ دُبَىٌّ,] signifies Much property or wealth, or many cattle: and accord. to AA, one says, ↓ جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ بِدُبَىٌّ, meaning Such a one came with, or brought, property, or wealth, or cattle, like the دبا. (T.) -A2- Also A gentle, or leisurely, manner of walking or going. (K. [See 1.])
