Lth explains it by the words طَوِيلُ أَشْفَارِ العَيْنِ كَثِيرُهَا; [and J in a similar manner;] but Az disapproves of this expression, because اشفار العين signifies “ the edges of the eyelids, ” whence the eyelashes grow: (TA:) أَهْدَبُ الأَشْفَارِ, and الاشفار ↓ هَدِبُ, [the same;] having long eyelashes. (TA.) عَيْنٌ هَدْبَاءُ An eye having long lashes. (TA.) ― -b2- شَجَرَةٌ هَدْبَاءُ A tree having long and pendulous branches. (K.) ― -b3- أُذُنٌ هَدْبَاءُ (tropical:) A pendulous, flabby, ear.
