(M) or she, as it were, called upon the dead man, enumerating his good qualities and actions, as though he heard her. (Msb.) It is said that the action is peculiarly that of women; and that the verb is derived from نَدَبَهُ, “ he called him ” to do a thing; or from نَدَبٌ, “ a scar, ” because the wailer mentions the memorials of him who has gone; or perhaps from نَدْبٌ, “ lightness, or activity. ” (MF.) -A2- نَدِبَ, aor. نَدَبَ , (inf. n. نَدَبٌ, TA;) and ↓ اندب; It (a wound) had a hardened scar, such as is termed نَدَبَة. (K.) ― -b2- نَدِبَ, aor. نَدَبَ , inf. n. نَدَبٌ [so accord. to the TA, agreeably with analogy; but in the CK and a MS. copy, نَدْبٌ; whence, and from the form of the latter of the two inf. ns. here following, it seems not improbable that the verb may be also written نَدَبَ;] and نُدُوبَةٌ and نُدُوبٌ, It (the back) had upon it scars, such as are termed نُدُوب.
