Root entry · 1 derived lemma

1 لَبV3َ [لَبَّ, originally لَبِبَ,] sec. per. لَبِبْتَ, (S, K,) the most common form of the verb, (TA,) and [لَبَّ, originally لَبُبَ, like حَبَّ, originally حَبُبَ, q. v.,] sec. pers. لَبُبْتَ, aor. يَلَبُّ, (S, K,) in the dial. of El-Hijáz, deviating from rule as aor. of the latter form of the verb; (TA;) inf. n. لَبَابَةٌ (S, K) and لِبٌّ and لَبٌّ; (TA;) and لَبَّ, aor. يَلِبُّ, in the dial. of Nejd; like فَرَّ, aor. يَفِرُّ; (TA;) and [لَبَّ], sec. pers. لَبِبْتَ, aor. يَلُبُّ; [contr. to analogy;] (Yz;) and [لَبَّ], sec. pers. لَبُبْتَ, aor. يَلُبُّ; [agreeably with analogy;] (Yoo;) He was, or became, possessed of لُبّ, i. e., understanding, intellect, or intelligence. See لُبٌّ. (S, K.) It has been said by some (as the authors of the T, the S, &c.) that لَبُبْتَ, aor. تَلَبُّ, has not its like among the class of reduplicative verbs; i. e., in being of the measure فَعُلَ in the pret., and يَفْعَلُ in the aor.: but three similar verbs have been mentioned; namely, دَمُمْتَ, شَرُرْتَ, and عَزُزَتِ الشَّاةُ (meaning “ the ewe, or goat, became scant in her milk ”). (TA.) [This, however, is a mistake: the assertion relates to لَبُبْتَ having for its aor. (regularly) تَلُبُّ: see دَمَّ, aor. يَدُمُّ.]) -A2- لَبَّ, aor. لَبِ3َ ; and ↓ لَبْلَبَ; He (a goat, and sometimes ↓ لبلب is used in the same sense with reference to a buck-antelope,) uttered a cry, or sound, at rutting-time. (TA.) -A3- لَبَّ اللَّوْزَ He broke the almond and took forth its kernel. (TA.) ― -b2- لَبَّهُ, (K,) sec. pers. لَبَبْتُ, aor. لَبُ3َ , inf. n. لَبٌّ, (S,) He struck him upon the part called the لَبَّة; (S, K;) i. e., the pit above the breast, between the collar-bones; the place where camels are stabbed. (TA.) -A4- لَبَّ, aor. لَبُ3َ , It (a house) faced, was opposite to, or stood over against, another house. (Kh, S, K.) -A5- See 4.
