جدب

جَادِبٌ جادب Finding fault, dispraising, expressing disapprobation: whence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh, فَيَا لَكَ مِنْ خَدٍّ أَسِيلٍ و مَنْطِقٍ رَخِيمٍ وَمِنْ خَلْقٍ تَعَلَّلَ جَادِبُهْ meaning [ O thou smooth and even cheek, and gentle speech, and make ] whereof he who dispraises it occupies himself vainly, finding no defect in it. (S, TA.) ― -b2- It is also said [as in the K &c.] to signify Lying; and the author of the 'Eyn says that it has no verb belonging to it [in this sense]; but this is a mistranscription [for خَادِبٌ]: AZ says that جَادِبٌ, with ج, has the signification here first given. (M, TA.)
