وبء

مُوبِئٌ ذ Engendering وَبَأ. (TA.) ― -b2- جُرْعَةَ شَرُوبٍ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ A draught of brackish water is more profitable than sweet water that engenders وَبَأ. (A trad.) Here the وَبُاَ is omitted in the last word to assimilate it to شروب. It is a proverb, applied to two men; one, superior in station, and more slim; the other, inferior in station, but more useful. (TA.) ― -b3- See أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ. ― -b4- مُوبِئٌ Water that is little in quantity; and failing, or stopping. (K.)
