سكب
Root entry · 1 derived lemmaالمِسْكَبَةُ ذ [altered in a copy of the A from المَسْكَبَةُ, which may perhaps be the right word,] The higher, or highest, rivulet, or small channel for irrigation, from which the other rivulets, or small channels, are supplied with water. (A.) ― -b2- [In a copy of the A (in art. سطب), المَسْطَبَة, which I believe to be in that instance a mistranscription for المسكبة, occurs expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) The Milky Way. ]
