كلب

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

6 تَكَاْلَبَ See 3 and 1. ― -b2- هُمْ يَتَكَالَبُونَ عَلَى كَذَا They leap, or rush, together upon such a thing [ in an evil, or injurious, or contentious, manner ]. (S.) التَّكَالُبُ is syn. with التَّوَاثُبُ: (S, K:) [and so also, accord. to the CK, is التَّكْلاَبُ, which I suppose to be an intensive inf. n. of كَلِبَ].
