سَبْحَةٌ ذ Garments of skins: (K:) or, accord. to Sh, سِبَاحٌ, which is the pl., signifies shirts of skins, for boys: AO corrupted the word, relating it as written سُبْجَةٌ, with ج, and with damm to the س; whereas this signifies “ a black [garment of the kind called] كِسَاآء: ” and a verse cited by him as presenting an ex. of its pl., in its last word, is from a poem of which each verse has for its fundamental rhyme-letter the unpointed ح: ISd, in art. سبج, mentions سِبَاجٌ as signifying “ garments of skin, ” and having سبجة for its sing.; but says that the word with the unpointed ح is of higher authority; though he also states it, in the same art., to have been corrupted by AO. (TA.) ― -b2- [A meaning belonging to سُبْحَةٌ (q. v.) is assigned in some copies of the K to سَبْحَةٌ.] -A2- السَّبْحَةُ, (K,) or سَبْحَةُ, from سَابِحٌ as an epithet applied to a horse, or mare, (IAth, TA,) is a proper name of A horse, or mare, belonging to the Prophet: (IAth, K, TA:) and of another belonging to Jaafar the son of Aboo- Tálib; (K;) or this was a mare named سَمْحَةُ: (O:) and of another belonging to another.
