وقب

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

وَقْبَةٌ ذ A large aperture, or hole, in a wall, in which is shade: (K:) pl. أَوْقَابٌ. ― -b2- See وَقْبٌ. ― -b3- وَقْبَةُ الثَّرِيدِ, (S, K,) and الدُّهْنِ, (K,) but the latter is a mistake, and the correct word is المُدْهُنِ, [a vase for ointment], (TA,) i. q. أَنْقُوعَتُهُ, [i. e., its cavity or hollow ]. (S, K.) Lth says, that ↓ وَقْبٌ signifies any cavity, hollow, or pit; as that in a [stone of the kind called] فِهْرٌ, and in a مُدْهُن, or مُدْهُنَة, q. v. (TA.)
