نشب

نَاشِبٌ ذ Sticking fast in a thing. (Msb.) ― -b2- Possessing arrows. (S, K.) A word of the same kind as لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ: (Msb:) after the manner of a relative noun; having no corresponding verb from which to be formed. (TA.) قَوْمٌ نَاشِبَةٌ [ A people, or party, possessing arrows ]. (S.) ― -b3- Also, قَوْمٌ نَاشِبَةٌ, (TA,) and ↓ نَشَّابَةٌ, (K,) A people shooting, or who shoot, arrows. (K, TA.) ― -b4- نَاشِبَةُ المَحَالِ The pulley that sticks fast, or will not run. A poet says, وَتِلْكَ بَنُو عَدِىٍّ قَدْ تَأَلَّوْا فَيَا عَجَبًا لِنَاشِبَةِ المَحَالِ [ And those, the sons of 'Adee, fell short of what they should do, or delayed: and I wonder at the pulley that sticks fast, and will not run! ] He compares them, in their holding back from aiding them, [see art. الو,] to the pulley that will not run. So explained by IAar, and the L. In the K explained imperfectly. (TA.)
