حَبِينٌ حبين : see أَحْبَنُ: -A2- and see also حَبْنٌ.

أمُّ حُبَيْنٍ ذ A certain small beast or reptile, (S, K,) well known; (K;) the عِظَايَة: (Mgh:) or a species of the [ kind of lizards termed ] عِظَاآء; of stinking odour: (Msb:) so called because of the largeness of its belly; from أَحْبَنُ [q. v.]: also called ↓ حُبَيْنَةُ; (S, Msb, K;) and sometimes the article ال is prefixed to it, (S, Msb, K,) so that it is called أُمُّ الحُبَيْنِ, (S, Msb,) by poetic license: (TA:) it is of the form of the حِرْبَاآء [or chameleon ], broad in the breast, and large in the belly: (TA:) or, accord. to some, (TA,) it is the female of the حِرْبَاآء: (S and Msb and K in art. حرب, and TA in the present art.:) accord. to Az, it is a small reptile resembling the [ kind of lizard called ] ضَبّ: (Msb:) or, as some say, a certain reptile of the size of a man's hand: or, accord. to Ibn-Ziyád, a dust-coloured reptile, with four legs, and of the size of a frog that is not large; and when the children hunt it, they say to it, انَّ الأَمِيرَ نَاظِرٌ اـِلَيْكِ أُمَّ الحُبَيْنِ اُنْشُرِى بُرْدَيْكِ [ Umm-el-Hobeyn, spread forth thy two wings: verily the commander is looking at thee ]: they hunt it until fatigue overcomes it, when it stops, standing upright upon its two kind legs, and spreads forth two wings that it has, of the same dust-colour; and when they hunt it further, it spreads forth wings that were beneath those two wings, than which nothing more beautiful in colour has been seen, yellow and red and green and white, in streaks, one above another, very many; and when it has done this, they leave it: no offspring of it is found; nor any genital organ: (TA:) the appellation أُمُّ حُبَيْنٍ is determinate, like اِبْنُ عِرْسٍ and اِبْنُ اآوَى; (S, Msb;) and [so is ↓ حُبَيْنَةُ,] like أُسَامَةُ; (S;) but determinate as a generic appellation: (S, Msb:) the suppression of the article does not render it indeterminate; which is contr. to rule: (S, K:) the pl. is أُمُّ حُبَيْنَاتٍ, [which is strange,] and أُمَّاتُ حُبَيْنٍ. (Msb.) ― -b2- The Arabs say, in one of their imprecations, صَبَّ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَيْكَ أُمَّ حُبَيْنٍ مَاخِضًا meaning (assumed tropical:) [ May God pour upon thee ] the night. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. مخص.)

حُبَيْنَةُ حبينه حبينة : see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

أَحْبَنُ ذ Having the dropsy; (S, Mgh, Msb;) as also ↓ مَحْبُونٌ (KL) [and ↓ حَبِينٌ; so in the Lex. of Golius; and so in the present day]: having a disease in the belly, whereby it becomes large and swollen: (K:) fem. حَبْنَاآءُ, (S, K,) applied to a woman: (S:) pl. حُبْنٌ. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (TA,) the fem., (tropical:) Big-bellied; (K, TA;) applied to a woman. (TA.) And (assumed tropical:) A foot (قَدَمٌ) having much flesh in the بَخَصَةٌ [app. here meaning the pulpy portion of the sole ]; (K;) as though it were swollen. (TA.)

1 حَبَا حب حبا , (Msb, K,) [aor. يَحْبُو,] inf. n. حُبُوٌّ, (K,) He, or it (a thing, Msb, TA), was, or became, or drew, near. (Msb, K.) And hence, (TA,) حَبَوْتُ لِلْخَمْسِينَ I was, or became, or drew, near to fifty [years]; (S, ISd, TA;) [as also حبوت الخَمْسِينَ; for] IAar says that حَبَاهَا and حَبَا لَهَا both have this signification. (TA.) ― -b2- حَبَتِ الأَضْلَاعُ اـِلَى الصُّلْبِ The ribs joined to the backbone; (K;) and in like manner, with the same meaning, one says of the entrails: and the ribs were near to the backbone.

(Mgh.) And, said of a man, He went along upon his hands, or arms, and his belly: (K:) or upon his hands, or arms, and his knees: or upon his posteriors: or upon his elbows and knees: (TA:) [or he crept, or crawled: for] you say, مَا جَاآءَ اـِلَّا حَبْوًا, meaning He came not save creeping, or crawling: and مَانَجَافُلَانٌ اـِلَّا حَبْوًا [ Such a one escaped not save creeping, or crawling ]. (TA.) Also, said of a camel having his fore shank bound up to his arm, He crept, or crawled, along: [or he dragged himself along on the ground: ] and, said of a camel, he lay down, and crept, or crawled, [or dragged himself along, ] by reason of fatigue: or, as some say, being constrained to ascend a difficult tract of sand, he protruded his chest, and then crept, or crawled. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] said of an arrow, It glided along the ground, and then hit the butt: (S:) or so حبا اـِلَى الغَرَضِ. (Msb.) ― -b3- And حبا المَالُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The cattle clave to the ground, motionless, by reason of emaciation. (K.) ― -b4- And حَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ, (K,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ, (TA,) The ship ran.

(S.) And حبا الرَّمْلُ, aor. يَحْبُو, inf. n. حَبْوٌ, The sands rose up, extending sideways (مُعْتَرِضًا): (TA:) or extended widely. (IAar, TA.) -A4- حَبَاهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. حَبْوٌ (TA) and حَبْوَةٌ, (S, TA,) or this is a simple subst, (K,) and the inf. n. is حِبَاآءٌ, (Msb,) or this last also is a simple subst., (S, * K,) He gave him (S, Msb, K) a thing (Msb) without any compensation (Msb, K) and without [ receiving ] any favour, or benefit: or in a general sense. (K. [See also حِبَاآءٌ below.]) You say, حَبَاهُ كَذَا and بِكَذَا He (God, or a man,) gave him such a thing without [ receiving ] any favour, or benefit, and without requital. (Ham pp. 327 and 654.) ― -b2- And also, (K,) aor. as above, inf. n. حِبَاآءٌ, (TA,) He denied him, refused him, or refused to give him; (K, TA;) on the authority of IAar only. (TA.) Thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) ― -b3- حبا مَا حَوْلَهُ He defended, protected, or guarded, what was around him; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ حبّاهُ, inf. n. تَحْبِيَةٌ. (S, K.) J cites as an ex. of the former verb, from a poem of Ibn-Ahmar, the phrase لَمْ يَحْبُهَا فَحْلٌ [as though meaning A stallion did not defend them ]; referring to she-camels: but accord. to AHn, it means did not regard them; being occupied with himself. (TA.) ― -b4- You say also, فُلَانٌ يَحْبُو قَصَاهُمْ and يَحُوطُ قَصَاهُمْ [ Such a one fights in their defence; or defends them in a distant quarter: but generally meant ironically: see 1 in art. حوط]: both signify the same. (Abu-l-'Abbás, TA.)

(Har ubi suprà.) The doing this in one garment is forbidden, in a trad., lest, by accident, what decency requires to be concealed should become exposed. (IAth, TA.) You say also, احتبى بِيَدَيْهِ [ He confined his legs against his belly with his hands, or arms, in sitting, to support himself by so doing ]. (S, Msb. *) [See also قُرْفُصَاآءُ.] الاِحْتِبَاآءُ with the sword is practised on the occasions of making a covenant for mutual protection, or war, or appointing a chief, and the like; because the sword may be wanted in these cases. (Ham p. 711.)

حَبًا حب حبا : see حَبِىٌّ.

حُبَةٌ حب حبه حبة A grape: (K:) or grapes when they first grow, from the berry, not from planting: (TA:) pl. حُبًى. (K.)

(Yaakoob, S, TA.) [See an ex. from a trad. voce نَمِرَةٌ: and see also a verse of El-Farezdak cited voce حَلَّ.] Hence, حَلَّ حُبْوَتَهُ and عَقَدَ حُبْوَتَهُ mean (assumed tropical:) He rose, or stood up, and (assumed tropical:) He sat. (Har p. 179. The former phrase is also mentioned in the S.) And the saying, الحُبَى حِيطَانُ العَرَبِ [ The things used for the purpose of اِحْتِبَاآء are the walls of the Arabs: see 8]. (TA.) And the saying, in a trad. of ElAhnaf (when he was asked in a time of war, “ When is forbearance? ”), ↓ عِنْدِ الحُبَاآءِ [ On the occasion of اِحْتِبَاآء]; meaning that forbearance is to be approved in peace, not in war. (TA.) الحبوة on Friday, when the Imám is reciting the khutbeh, is forbidden; because الاِحْتِبَاآء induces sleep, and exposes the purity of the worshipper to be annulled. (TA.) -A2- See also حِبَاآءٌ.

(S, Mgh.) And the first, The dowry of a woman or wife. (TA.) -A2- See also حُبْوَةٌ, in two places.

حَبِىٌّ حب حبى حبي : see حَابٍ. ― -b2- Also A collection of clouds; syn. سَحَابٌ; because it creeps along; or from حَبَا meaning عَرَضَ, wherefore it is also called عَارِضٌ: (Mgh:) or applied to a collection of clouds as meaning that presents itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side, or extends sideways, (S, Ham p. 785, and EM p. 51,) heaped up, (EM,) in the tracts of the horizon, (Ham,) like a mountain, before it covers the sky; (S, EM;) as also ↓ حَبًا; (S;) so called because near to the earth, (S, Ham,) as though creeping, or crawling, like a child; or from حَبَا; like as سَحَابٌ is from سَحَبَ, (Ham,) or from سَحَبَ أَهْدَابَهُ: (TA:) or, as also ↓ حُبِىٌّ, a collection of clouds overpeering (يُشْرِفُ, in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, يشرق, TA) from the horizon upon the earth: or heaped up, one part above another.

(Msb.) Hence the saying, in a trad., اـِنَّ حَابِيًا خَيْرٌ مِنْ زَاهِقٍ, i. e. An arrow such as is termed حَابٍ, though weak, having hit the butt, is better than one that goes beyond the butt by its vehemence of passage, and its force, not having hit it: meaning, by the two arrows, one who attains the truth, or right, or a part thereof, though weak; and another who goes beyond it, and far from it, though strong. (TA.) -A3- A thing presenting itself, or its breadth, or width, or its side; as also ↓ حَبِىٌّ; (K;) as in the saying of El-'Ajjáj, describing a [vessel such as is called] قُرْقُور, فَهْوَ اـِذَا حَبَا لَهُ حَبِىُّ i. e.

حَتَّى حتى حتي is a particle, used in three senses: (Mughnee:) it is a particle denoting the end of an extent; (Mughnee, K;) which is its predominant meaning; (Mughnee;) asserted by some to be always its meaning: (TA:) and denoting a cause, or motive: and syn. with اـِلَّا as an exceptive; (Mughnee, K;) which last is the rarest, and is mentioned by few. (Mughnee.) ― -b2- It is used as a preposition governing the gen. case, in the same manner as اـِلَى (S, Mughnee) in respect of meaning and government, (Mughnee,) denoting the end of an extent; (S;) [signifying To, till, until, or to the time of; ] but the word that it so governs must be a noun properly so called, not a pronoun except in a case of poetic license; and must signify the last part, or portion, of what is signified by that which precedes حتّى, as in the saying, أَكَلْتُ السَّمَكَةَ حَتَّى رَأْسِهَا [ I ate the fish, even to its head ]; or must be prefixed to the word signifying that part, or portion, as in the saying, [in the Kur xcvii. last verse,] سَلَامٌ هِىَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الفَجْرِ [A night of peace, or of salutation, is it, until the time of the rising of the dawn ]. (Mughnee.) It is also followed by a mansoob aor., as in سِرْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا [ I journeyed until I entered it, ادخلها here virtually meaning دَخَلْتُهَا], أَنْ being here understood after حتّى, and the ان together with the verb being rendered in grammatical analysis by an inf. n. governed in the gen. case by حتّى [so that حتّى ان ادخلها means حتّى دُخُولِى اـِيَّاهَا]: this is one of the cases in which حتّى differs from اـِلَى; for one may not say, سِرْتُ اـِلَى أَدْخُلَهَا [with أَنْ understood after الى]: and in the same sense it is used in the phrase, [in the Kur xx. 93,] حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ اـِلَيْنَا مُوسَى [ Until Moses return to us ]. (Mughnee.) ― -b3- It is also syn. with كَىْ, denoting a cause or motive [of action &c., signifying To the end that, in order that, or so that ], as in the saying, أَسْلِمْ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَ الجَنَّةَ [ Become a Muslim, to the end that, or in order that, or so that, thou mayest enter Paradise ]; being in this case, likewise, followed by a mansoob aor. (Mughnee.) ― -b4- It is also used [as a preposition virtually governing the gen. case, أَنْ being understood after it,] in the sense of اـِلَّا, meaning Except, or unless, likewise followed by a mansoob aor., as in the following verse: لَيْسَ العَطَاآءُ مِنَ الفُضُولِ سَمَاحَةً حَتَّى تَجُودَ وَمَا لَدَيْكَ قَلِيلُ [ The giving of superfluities is not liberality: (giving is not liberality) except, or unless, (or here we may also say until, ) thou be bountiful when little is in thy possession ]. (Mughnee.) ― -b5- It is also a conjunction, like وَ, [signifying And, or rather even, ] (S, Mughnee,) but on three conditions: first, that the word following it and conjoined by it be a noun properly so called, not a pronoun: secondly, that this noun signify a part, or portion, of what is signified by that which precedes حتّى, as in قَدِمَ الحُجَّاجُ حَتَّى المُشَاةُ [ The pilgrims arrived: even those on foot ], and أَكَلْتُ السَّمَكَةَ حَتّى رَأْسَهَا [ I ate the fish: even its head ]: thirdly, that the noun following it and conjoined by it denote either the greatest or the least [literally or figuratively] of what are included in the signification of the noun that precedes حتّى, as in مَاتَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى الأَنْبِيَاآءُ [ Men have died: even the prophets ], and زَارَكَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى الحَجَّامُونَ [ The people visited thee: even the cuppers ]. (Mughnee.) ― -b6- It is also used as an inceptive particle, (S, Mughnee,) preceding a nominal proposition, (Mughnee,) as in the following verse (of Jereer [so in a copy of the S]): فَمَا زَالَتِ القَتْلَى تَمُجَّ دِمَاآءَهَا بِدِجْلَةَ حَتَّى مَاآءُ دِجْلَةَ أَشْكَلُ [ And the slain ceased not to emit their blood into the Tigris, so that the water of the Tigris was of a mixed colour consisting of red and white ]: (S, Mughnee:) and preceding a verbal proposition, of which the verb is a pret., as in the phrase, [in the Kur vii. 93,] حَتَّى عَفَوْا وَقَالُوا [ So that they became numerous, and said ]: (Mughnee:) and preceding a marfooa aor., as in the phrase, [in the Kur ii. 210,] حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ [ So that the Apostle said, or, as in the S, so that this was the case: the Apostle said ], accord. to him who reads يَقُولُ; (IHsh, in De Sacy's “ Anthol. Gramm. Ar., ” p. 82 of the Arabic text;) others reading يَقُولَ, which, as well as يَقُولُ, here means قَالَ. (Jel.) ― -b7- [Respecting the cases in which the mansoob aor. is used after حاّى, and those in which the marfooa aor. is used, the following observations are made.] When حتّى precedes a future, the latter is mansoob, by reason of أَنْ understood before it, as in the saying, سِرْتُ اـِلى الكُوفَةِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا [ I journeyed to El-Koofeh until I entered it: see above]: (S:) it is not mansoob unless the verb is a future: if it is future with respect to the time of speaking, it must be mansoob, as in حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ اـِلَيْنَا مُوسَى [cited above]: if the verb is future with respect to what precedes, only, it may be mansoob, as in حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ [mentioned above]; or it may be marfooa; but not unless [somehow] denoting a present time; (Mughnee;) and if present with respect to the time of speaking, it must be marfooa, as in the saying, سِرْتُ اـِلَى الكُوفَةِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلُهَا [ I have journeyed to El-Koofeh so that now I am entering it ]; (S, Mughnee; *) but if not really present, it is not marfooa unless denoting a past event as though it were present, as in حَتَّى يَقُولُ الرَّسُولُ [explained above]; nor may it be marfooa unless denoting an effect of what precedes it; so that you may not say, سِرْتُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ, nor مَا سِرْتُ حَتَّى أَدْخُلُهَا unless the ما is regarded as prefixed to the entire affirmative phrase that follows it, nor هَلْ سِرْتَ حَتَّى تَدْخُلُهَا; nor may it be marfooa unless it denote a complement to what precedes it, so that you [...]

مَا تَرَكُوا اـِلَّا رِمْدَةَ حَتَّانَ ما تركوا الا رمدة حتان , or حَتَّانٍ, (as in different copies of the K in art. رمد,) They left not of them so much as thou mightest rub thy hands therewith and then blow it away in the wind after rubbing it off. (K ubi suprà.)
