(TA.) ― -b2- [Hence] سَكْبٌ applied to a horse means (tropical:) Wide in step: (S, A, K:) or fleet, or swift, or excellent in running; (A, K;) that runs much: (Mgh, TA:) or light, or active: and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ, so applied, has one or another of these meanings: (A:) or the former, thus applied, that runs vehemently; as also فَيْضٌ; likened to water pouring forth: (EthThaalebee, TA:) also, (K, TA,) applied to a horse and a man and a boy, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) light of spirit; and brisk, lively, or sprightly, (K, TA,) in work, or action. (TA.) السَّكْبُ was the name of the first horse possessed by the Prophet; (Mgh, * K;) as also ↓ السَّكَبُ: and the name of a horse of Shebeeb Ibn-Mo'áwiyeh. (K.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) A certain sort of clothes, or garments, (T, S, K,) thin so as to resemble dust, and as though resembling pouring water by reason of its thinness; and so, accord. to IAar, ↓سَكَبٌ.

(TA.) ― -b5- And (tropical:) A necessary thing or affair: (A, K, TA:) and (tropical:) a disgrace (سُبَّةٌ) that is necessary, or unavoidable. (A, TA.)
