غيب

غَيِبَانٌ ذ or غَيْبَانٌ, [accord. to different copies of the K, between which the TA does not enable us to decide with certainty, as it only states, with respect to the ى, that it is مُخَفَّفَة, which may mean either the contr. of doubled or the contr. of movent, though the former is the more general meaning, (in the TA it is said to be erroneously written in a copy of the K with a final ت instead of ن,)] and ↓ غَيِّبَانٌ, The roots of trees, (K, TA,) that are hidden from view: or, accord. to AHn, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان and ↓ غَيَابَة, of plants, or herbage, are, with the Arabs, what the sun has not shone upon: and accord. to Aboo-Ziyád ElKilábee, the غيبان and ↓ غيّبان of plants, or herbage, and also of their roots, are what is con- cealed from the sun, so as to be not shone upon by it. (L, TA.)
