جَالَِبٌ جالب (A) and ↓ جَالِبَةٌ (L) and ↓ مَجْلَبَةٌ (Har p. 194 &c.) [all signify] (assumed tropical:) A cause of bringing or drawing or attracting or procuring of a thing: (Har p. 194, in explanation of the last:) thus مَجْلَبَةُ الدَّمْعِ means (assumed tropical:) the cause of drawing tears: (1d p. 15:) pl. of the second, جَوَالِبُ; as in the phrase جَوَالِبُ القَدَرِ (assumed tropical:) [ the drawing, or procuring, causes of destiny ]: (L, TA:) pl. of the third, مَجَالِبُ. (Har p. 430.) You say, لِكُلِّ قَضَاآءٍ جَالِبٌ وَلِكُلِّ دَرٍّ حَالِبٌ (tropical:) [ For every decree of fate there is a drawing, or procuring, cause; and for every flow of milk there is a milker ]. (A, TA.) And [hence] the pl. جَوَالِبُ signifies (assumed tropical:) Calamities, misfortunes, evil accidents, adversities, or difficulties. (TA.) See an ex. in the first paragraph, near the beginning. ― -b2- قُرُوحٌ جَوَالِبُ and جُلَّبٌ Wounds, or ulcers, healing, or becoming covered with skin in healing. (As, TA.)
