(S, K.) ― -b2- لَبْلَبَتْ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا, inf. n. as above, She (a ewe) was tender, or affectionate, to her young one, and licked it, when she brought it forth, (S, K,) making a sound like لِبْ لِبْ.

(TA.) -A2- لَبْلَبَ It was separated, dispersed, or scattered. (AA, T, K.) (The inf. n., لبلبة, is explained by تَفَرُّقٌ: but I think it not improbable that this is a mistake for تَرَفُّقٌ; and that the meaning is, He was gentle, courteous, or kind. ]
