سهب

4 اسهب ذ He went far, or to a great or an extraordinary length, in a thing; for instance, in journeying; as in a trad., in which it is said of horses, or horsemen, أَسْبَهَتْ شَهْرًا They went far for a month; and in eating and drinking; as in another trad.: (TA:) it is from سُهْبٌ, signifying “ a plain and far-extending land; ” as though meaning He traversed a plain and far-extending tract of land; like as one says أَسْهَلَ and أَحْزَنَ. (Har p. 572.) He (a horse) ran with wide steps, and preceded, or outstripped. (S, TA. [See also سَهْبٌ, below.]) And [hence,] He was, or became, loquacious, or profuse of speech; (IAar, S, K;) like اسهم; (K * and TA in art. سهم;) [and] so اسهب فِى المَنْطِقِ : (JK:) or he doted; or was disordered in his intellect; but when a man makes many mistakes in his speech, you say of him أَفْنَدَ: (As, TA:) or he doted much, or often; or was much, or often, disordered in his intellect: (AO, TA:) [and it seems from an explanation of the part. n. مُسْهِبٌ that it probably signifies also he was eloquent, or profuse of correct speech: ] or he was very greedy, and (in some copies of the K “ or ”) covetous, so as to refrain from nothing: (K, TA:) and you say also اسهب كَلَامَهُ He prolonged, or was prolix in, his speech: and فى كَلَامِهِ اـِسْهَابٌ In his speech is prolixity. (A, TA.) Also He (a man) gave much, or largely; and so ↓ استهب: (Lth, K:) [or, in this sense,] you say, اسهب فِى العَطَاآء. (A.) ― -b2- اسهبوا They reached sand, in digging [a well], and water came not forth: (S:) or they dug, and came upon sand or a current of air: (K:) or they dug, and came upon a current of air, and the water disappointed them of its coming: (Az, TA:) or they dug without attaining any good: (K:) or اسهب signifies he dug until he reached sand: and, accord. to Th, he dug a well and reached water. (TA.) ― -b3- اسهبوا الدَّابَّةَ They left the beast alone, or by itself, (K, TA,) to pasture [ where it would ]. (TA.) -A2- اسهب الشَّاةَ وَلَدُهَا Her young one sucked, (K,) or licked, (TA,) the ewe, or she-goat. (K.) -A3- أُسْهِبَ He (a man, S) lost his reason, (S, K, TA,) as some say, (TA,) from the bite of a serpent, (S, K, TA,) or the sting of a scorpion: (TA:) or his colour became altered in consequence of love or fright or disease: (K:) or, accord. to AHát, اسهب, [so in the TA, in which it seems to be implied that أَسْهَبَ, not أُسْهِبَ, is meant,] inf. n. اـِسْهَابٌ, signifies he (a man bitten by a serpent, or stung by a scorpion,) lost his reason and lived. (TA. [See also the part. n., مُسْهَبٌ, below.]) اـِسْهَابُ اللُّبِّ [in which the former word is probably the inf. n. of أُسْهِبَ, not of أَسْهَبَ,] means The mind's being confounded, or perplexed, by [ love of ] a woman. (JK.)
