خِبَّةٌ خب خبه خبة and ↓ خُبَّةٌ and ↓ خَبَّةٌ A narrow tract, or streak, of sand; [in one copy of the A, I find خِبَّةٌ and خَبِيبَةٌ thus explained; but in another, ↓ مَخَبَّةٌ is written in the place of the former of these two words;] or of clouds; (S, K;) as also ↓ خَبِيبَةٌ: (As:) or, of sand, what resembles a فَالِق [or depressed tract between two hills ], except in its being wider and more spreading, and not having abrupt sides; so says AHn in explaining خبّة [thus in the TA] and ↓ خَبِيبَةٌ: (TA:) or all three signify a piece of rag like a fillet; as also ↓ خَبِيبَةٌ (S, K) and ↓ خُبٌّ: (Lh:) or the last two (خبيبة and خبّ) signify a piece of rag from a garment, with which one binds his arm or hand. (JK, TA.) [Hence,) ↓ ثَوْبٌ أَخْبَابٌ, (Lh, K,) [like أَهْبَابٌ,] and ثوب خِبَبٌ, (Lh, JK, K,) like هِبَبٌ, (JK,) and ↓ ثوب خَبَائِبُ, like هَبَائِبُ; (S;) [the latter word in the first of these phrases being pl. of خُبٌّ; that in the second, pl. of خِبّةٌ; and that in the third, pl. of خَبِيبَةٌ;] A garment, or piece of cloth, rent in pieces, ragged, or tattered. (Lh, JK, S, K.) [See also خَبِيبَةٌ, below.] It is also said that the خِبَّة of a garment, or piece of cloth, is [ A portion thereof] like the طُرَّة [q. v.]: and accord. to Sh, the خُبَّة thereof is its طُرَّة. (TA.) And خبّة [so in the TA] signifies A piece of rag which a woman wears, covering her head with it: erroneously written by Lth حنّة. (Az, TA.) ― -b2- Also, i. e. خِبَّةٌ and its two vars., and ↓ خَبِيبَةٌ, of which the pl. is خَبَائِبُ, A streak of the flesh appearing in the skin, occasioned by the loss of flesh. (TA.)
