Root entry · 1 derived lemma

2 ربّق ذ [ He prepared the أَرْبَاق, pl. of رِبْقٌ]. One says, رَمَّدِتِ الضَّأْنُ فَرَبّقْ رَبّقْ, i.e. [ The ewes have secreted milk in their udders: therefore ] prepare thou the أَرْبَاق: prepare thou the ارباق: for they will bring forth soon: (S, K:) because they [begin to] secrete milk in their udders عَلَى رَأْسِ الوَلَدِ [i. e. at the time of bringing forth, or when about to produce the young]. (S.) It is not thus in the case of she-goats: therefore, (S,) in the case of these, one says رَنّقْ, with ن, (S, K,) meaning “ wait thou: ” because they show sings of pregnancy in the state of their udders, and bring forth after some length of time: and [in the case of these] one says also رَمِّقْ, with م. (K. [See arts. رمق and رنق.]) ― -b2- One also says, رَبَّقَ أَثْنَاآءَ الحَبْلِ, meaning He made loops in the middle of the rope to put upon the necks of the young lambs or kids. (T in art. ثنى.) ― -b3- See also 1. ― -b4- رَبَّقْتُ الكَلَامَ I interlarded, or embel-lished, the speech, or discourse, with falsehood; as also رَمَّقْتُهُ; syn. لَفَّقْتُ بَيْنَهُ; (JK;) [or لَفَّقْتُهُ; for] تَرْبِيقُ الكَلَامِ signifies تَلْفِيقُهُ; (Ibn-'Abbád, K;) as also تَرْمِيقُهُ. (Ibn-'Abbád.)
