زبر

زِئْبِرٌ ذ (S, and K in art. زأبر, in the CK [erroneously] written زِئْبَر,) and زِئْبُرٌ, (S, K,) sometimes thus pronounced, (S,) or this, which is mentioned by IJ and ISd, is incorrect, (K, * TA,) and ↓ زُؤْبُرٌ and ↓ زُوبُرٌ and ↓ زَوْبَرٌ, (K in arts. زأبر and زبر,) as also زَغْبَرٌ or زِغْبَرٌ (as in two different copies of the K in art. زغبر) or زِغْبِرٌ (as in another copy of the K and in the O and TA in the same art.) and زَغْبُرٌ (accord. to a copy of the K in that art.) or زِغْبُرٌ, (O and TA in that art., and so accord. to one copy of the K,) [The nap, or villous substance, upon the surface of a garment, or piece of cloth; ] what is upon the surface of a new garment, or piece of cloth, like what is upon the surface of [ the kind of cloth called ] خَزّ; (S, TA;) the زِئْبِر of [the kind of cloth called] خَزّ, and of a قَطِيفَة, and of any garment, or piece of cloth; (Lth, TA;) the زغبر of a garment, or piece of cloth; (AZ, TA;) or what appears of the دَرْز [q. v., here meaning nap, or villous substance, ] of a garment, or piece of cloth. (IJ, K.) [Hence] one says, ذَهَبَتِ الأَيَّامُ بِطَرَاوَتِهِ وَنَفَضَتْ زِئْبِرَهُ (tropical:) [lit. Days took away its freshness, and shook off its nap ]; meaning its age became old. (A, TA.) And ↓ أَخَذَهُ بِزَوْبَرِهِ (S, A, K) and ↓ زَأْبَرِهِ (S, K) and ↓ زَبَرِهِ, (K,) as also زَغْبَرِهِ, (S, and K * in art. زغبر,) and ↓ زَنَوْبَرِهِ, incorrectly written in the K زَبَوْبَرِهِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) He took it altogether, (S, A, K,) leaving nothing of it. (S.) Ibn-Ahmar says, وَاـِنْ قَالَ عَاوٍ مِنْ مَعَدٍّ قَصِيدَةً بِهَا جَرَبٌ عُدَّتْ عَلَىَّ بِزَوْبَرَا i. e. (assumed tropical:) [ And if a howler of Ma'add utters an ode in which is a fault, ] it is attributed to me altogether, (S, * L,) when I have not been the author of it: (L:) the last word, accord. to Aboo-'Alee [El-Fárisee], being imperfectly decl. because made a proper name for the قصيدة, and therefore combining the two qualities of being determinate and being of the fem. gender: so he said in answer to a question of IJ: but some say that the said word there means a calamity, or misfortune: and IB says that it is a proper name for a bitch (كلبة [if this be not a mistranscription]), of the fem. gender. (TA. [In one copy of the S, I find only the last three words of this verse: in another, it commences thus: اـِذَا قَالَ غَاوٍ مِنْ تَنُوخَ: in the TA, the former reading is given, except that غَاوٍ is put in the place of عَاوٍ.]) One says also, ↓ رَجَعَ بِزَوْبَرِهِ (assumed tropical:) He returned disappointed, or unsuccessful; (TA;) without having obtained anything; (K, TA;) and without having accomplished his want.
