Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

بَنَّةٌ بن بنه بنة A sweet, or pleasant, odour; (As, AA, T, S, M, K;) such as that of the apple (T, M) and the like, (M,) or the quince: (T:) Sb says that it is a name for a sweet, or pleasant, odour, like خَمْطَةٌ: (M, * TA:) and an unpleasant odour; (As, T, S;) a fetid odour; (M, K;) whence بَنَّةٌ الغَزْلِ [ the odour of the yarn ] occurring in a saying of 'Alee, respecting a weaver; (M;) which shows that A'Obeyd erred in asserting it to have only the first of the foregoing significations; (IB, TA;) which Suh, in the R, assigns also to ↓ بُنَانَةٌ: (TA:) the odour of sheep, or goats, (S, M,) or of camels or cattle; (Z, TA;) and of the dung of gazelles; (S, K;) and of the lodging-places of sheep or goats and of oxen or bulls or cows and of gazelles: (T, M:) and sometimes the lodgingplaces themselves, of sheep or goats: (M, TA:) pl. (in all the senses, M) بِنَانٌ. (T, S, M, K.)

بُنِّىٌّ بن بنى بني بنية بنيي ني A seller of بُنّ [or coffee-berries ]. (TA.) -A2- Also, [vulgarly pronounced بِنِّى,] A species of fish; (K;) [the cyprinus Bynni of Forskål; described by him in his Descr. Anim. p. 71;] it is white, and is the best kind [ of fish ], and abundant in the Nile. (TA.)

بَنَانٌ بنان The fingers; syn. أَصَابِعُ: (M, Msb, K:) but whether it means peculiarly the اصابع of the hand, or those of the foot also, [i. e. the toes, ] is disputed: (TA:) or the ends, or extremities, thereof: (S, M, Msb, K:) said to be so called because by their means are ordered those circumstances whereby man continues in existence; from أَبَنَّ بِالْمَكَانِ: (Msb:) mentioned in the Kur viii. 12 because therewith one fights, and defends himself: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or it there signifies all the limbs, or members, of the body: (Aboo-Is-hák, M:) or the fingers, or toes, and any other parts of all the limbs, or members: (Zj, TA:) or it means in the Kur the شَوَى; (Lth, T, TA;) so in lxxv. 4; (M;) i. e. the arms or hands and the legs or feet: (Lth, T, TA:) accord. to El-Fárisee the meaning of the words in the Kur lxxv. 4 is, we are able to make their extremities like those of the camel, so that they should not profit by them in handicraft: (M, TA:) the n. un. is with ة; (Lth, T, S, M, K;) meaning, accord. to Lth, a single اـِصْبَع [i. e. finger, or toe ]; or, accord. to AHeyth, the whole اصبع; or, as some say, the highest عُقْدَة [or joint ] of the اصبع: (T:) the pl. of pauc. is بَنَانَاتٌ; but a pl. of mult. is sometimes used as one of pauc.; and hence the saying of the rájiz, خَمْسَ بَنَانٍ قَانِئِ الأَظْفَارِ [ Five fingers, or ends of fingers, intensely red from the dye of hinnà in the nails ], meaning خَمْسًا مِنَ البَنَانِ: and one says, بَنَانٌ مُخَضَّبٌ [ Fingers, or ends of fingers, dyed, or much dyed, with hinnà]; for every pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] between which and its sing., or n. un., there is no difference but ة [added in the latter] may be treated as sing. and masc. (S.) Lth cites as an ex. of the n. un., لَيْسَ لِحَىٍّ فَوْقَهُمْ بَنَانَهْ لَاهُمَّ أَكْرَمْتَ بَنِى كِنَانَه meaning [ O God, Thou hast honoured the sons of Kináneh: there belongs not to any tribe ] excel-lence of the measure of a finger above them. (T, TA.)

بَنِيِنٌ بن بنى بنين Deliberate and intelligent: (AA, T, K:) from بَنَّ بِالْمَكَانِ. (TA.)

بَنَانَةٌ بنان بنانه بنانة n. un. of بَنَانٌ. (Lth, T, S, M, K.) -A2- See also what next follows.

بُنَانَةٌ بنان بنانه بنانة : see بَنَّةٌ. ― -b2- Also A meadow, or verdant tract of land somewhat watery, (AA, T, M, K,) producing herbage, (M, K,) and adorned with flowers; (TA;) and so ↓ بَنَانَةٌ. (M.)

مُبِنٌّ مبن Remaining, continuing, staying, dwelling, or abiding, in a place. (T, TA.) Applied to a mixture of urine and dung (عَبَس) upon the tail [of a camel &c.], it may mean Cleaving, and sticking: or it may be from بَنَّةٌ signifying “ a fetid odour ” [so as to mean having a fetid odour ]: thus, in this case, it may be either a part. n. or a possessive epithet. (M, TA.) It signifies also Having the odour of the dung of gazelles; applied to a covert, or hiding-place, of those animals, among trees. (S, K. *)

2 بنّجهُ بنج بنجه بنجة , inf. n. تَبْنِيجٌ, [ He dosed him, or stupified him, with بَنْج, q. v.;] he gave him بَنْج to eat. (K.) [See the act. part. n. below.]

بَنْجٌ بنج [ Hyoscyamus, or henbane; ] an arabicized word, [said to be] from [the Persian] بَنْكْ; [but see a quotation from Hammer-Purgstall, near the close of this paragraph;] a certain plant, (Mgh, and Har p. 365,) having an intoxicating kind of grain, or, as some say, (Mgh,) of which the leaves and peel and seeds torpify: (Mgh, Har:) it is said, in the Kánoon, (Mgh,) by Aboo-'Alee [Ibn-Seenà, or Avicenna], (Har,) that it is a poison which confuses the intellect, and annuls the memory, and occasions insanity and [ the disorder termed ] خُنَاق [or quinsy ]; (Mgh, Har;) and it is red, and white: (Har:) a certain plant having a kind of grain that confuses the intellect, and occasions alienation of the mind, or insanity; and sometimes it intoxicates, when a man drinks it after it has been dissolved; and it is said to occasion forgetfulness: (Msb:) a certain torpifying plant, well known; different from حَشِيشُ الحَرَافِيشِ; disordering the intellect (مُخَبِّطٌ لِلْعَقْلِ), rendering insane, allaying the pains of humours and pustules, and the earache, (K, TA,) applied as a liniment or as a poultice; (TA;) the worst kind (K, TA) for use (TA) is the black; then, the red; and the safest kind is the white. (K, TA.) [Kzw says that the leaves of the garden-hemp (قِنَّب بُسْتَانِىّ, or شَهْدَانَجِ, the latter of which properly signifies hemp-seed,) are the بَنْج which, when eaten, disorders the intellect. And ElIdreesee applies the appellation حَشِيشِيَّة to the “ Assassins. ” This establishes the correctness of De Sacy's opinion, that the appellation “ Assassins ” is derived from the vulgar pl. حَشَّاشِين, (hemp-eaters, or persons who intoxicate themselves with hemp,) for حَشَّاشِين is syn. with حَشِيشَّة, and the sect called by us the “ Assassins ” are expressly said by the Arabs to have made frequent use of بَنْج. Baron Hammer-Purgstall, correctly regarding بَنْج as hyoscyamus (or henbane), makes the following important observations, “ ‘ Bendj, ’ the pl. of which in Coptic is ‘ nibendj, ’ is without doubt the same plant as the ‘ nepenthe, ’ which has hitherto so much perplexed the commentators of Homer. Helen evidently brought the nepenthe from Egypt, and bendj is there still reputed to possess all the wonderful qualities which Homer attributes to it. ” (Trébutien, “ Contes Inédits des Mille et une Nuits, ” tome i. p. 12, note.)] The phrase شَرِبَ البَنْجَ is used by ElKarkhee [as meaning He drank the بنج] because it is mixed with water; or [as meaning he took, or swallowed, the بنج,] according to the conventional language of the physicians. (Mgh.)

مُبَنِّجٌ مبنج One who employs a stratagem by means of food containing بَنْج [ in order to obtain some advantage over another, by stupifying him therewith; as the “ Assassins ” used to do]. (Mgh.)

بَنْدٌ بند ند is a Persian word arabicized, originally signifying A knot, or tie. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (TA,) (tropical:) [ Any of ] the stops that are put between the beads of the سُبْحَة to mark the place where the performer of تَسْبِيح pauses on the occasion of a thing's diverting his attention: so in the Comm. on the Tohfeh by the seyyid 'Omar El-Basree: (MF, TA:) app. post-classical and recent. (TA.) ― -b3- A dam; a thing that stops, or dams, [ water, or] from water (الَّذِى يُسْكِرُ مِنَ المَاآءِ). (K. [In the CK, يُسْكَرُ is put in the place of يُسْكِرُ. In this sense, also, it is of Persian origin.]) ― -b4- A stratagem, a trick, or an expedient, of which one makes use: (T, K:) a snare by which one snares men: (TA in art. قمط:) pl. بُنُودٌ. (T.) You say, فُلَانٌ كَثِيرٌ البُنُودِ Such a one abounds in, or practises much, stratagems, tricks, or expedients, (Lth, T, A,) and mischievous, or calamitous, acts. (A.) In this sense, also, it is an arabicized Persian word. (TA.) ― -b5- An enigma. (TA.) ― -b6- A pawn that is tied (مُنْعَقِدٌ, in the CK مُتَعَقِّدٌ,) by a queen in the game of chess: as though it confined and tied itself. (TA.) ― -b7- Also a Persian word, arabicized, (S, A,) signifying A large banner, standard, or ensign: (En-Nadr, S, A, K:) or a banner, or standard, or an ensign, of a general, or leader, (T, M,) of the Greeks, (M,) under which are ten thousand men, (T, M,) or less, or more: (T:) or a banner, or standard, or an ensign, of horsemen: (El-Hujeymee, T:) [in barbarous Latin bandum; and in Spanish, bandera; as mentioned by Golius; and in modern Arabic بَنْدِيرٌ:] pl. as above: (S, M:) it has no pl. of pauc. (M.) ― -b8- [The pl.] بُنُودٌ also signifies, in Greece, [ Provinces, or districts; ] what are called أَجْنَادٌ in Syria, and أَعْرَاضٌ in El-Hijáz, and كُوَرٌ in El-'Irak, and مَخَالِيفٌ in El-Yemen. (Yákoot.)

بَنْدَرٌ بندر ندر [app. from the Persian بَنْدَرْ,] A place where ships or boats anchor or moor; a port [or port-town: pl. بَنَادِرُ]. (K, TA.)

Q. 1 بَنْدَقَ بندق He made a thing into بَنَادِق [meaning bullets, or little balls ], (Mgh, K,) or like بنادق (TA.) -A2- [In post-classical Arabic, He shot a bullet, or bullets, from a cross-bow or other weapon.] ― -b2- بندق اـِلَيْهِ (assumed tropical:) He looked sharply, or intently, at him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)

بُنْدُقٌ بندق [The hazel-nut; or hazel-nuts; so in the present day;] a certain thing that is eaten; (Msb;) i. q. جِلَّوْز: (IDrd, K:) or, as some say, like جلّوز; brought from an island; the best whereof is the fresh, heavy, white, and sweet in taste; the old being bad: it is beneficial as a remedy for palpitation, parched with anise-seed; and for poisons, and wasting of the kidneys, and burning of the urine; and with pepper, it excites the venereal faculty; with sugar, it removes cough; and the shell thereof, burnt, and applied as a collyrium, sharpens the sight: (TA:) they assert that the suspending it upon the upper arm preserves from scorpions, (K,) i. e., from their stinging: (TA:) the moistening of the top of the head of a child with the powder of it when burnt, together with oil, removes the blueness of its eyes and the redness of its hair: and the Indian kind thereof is an antidote very beneficial to the eyes: (K, TA:) but in some copies of the K, [and so in the CK,] instead of لِلْعَيْنَيْنِ, we here find لِلْعِنِّينِ [ for the impotent in respect of the venereal faculty ]: (TA:) [it is said in the Msb that most hold the ن to be augmentative: but this is not the case; for] the word is Persian [arabicized, from فُنْدُقْ]: (K:) [it is a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة: pl. بَنَادِقُ. (Msb.) ― -b2- [Hence, Bullets, i. e.] certain things that one shoots, (S, Msb, K,) made of clay: (Msb:) n. un. with ة: (S, Msb, K:) the latter signifies a piece of clay, made round, which one shoots, or casts; or i. q. جُلَاهِقٌ: (Mgh:) it is said in the Shifá el-Ghaleel to be an arabicized word: (TA:) pl. as above. (S, Msb.) [See a prov. voce حِدَأَةٌ. Hence قَوْسُ البُنْدُقِ The crossbow. In modern Arabic, بُنْدُق is also applied to Balls of any kind of the size of hazel-nuts: n. un. with ة.]

بُنْدُقِىٌّ بندق بندقى بندقي بندقيي A garment, or piece of cloth, of fine, delicate, or thin, linen. (Sgh, K.) [SM says,] It is most probably, in my opinion, so called in relation to the land of البُنْدُقِيَّة [or Venice]. (TA.) [In modern Arabic, A Venetian sequin: pl. بَنَادِقَةٌ.] بُنْدَقَانِىٌّ [app. a post-classical word,] A maker of cross-bows (قِسِىّ البُنْدُق). (El-Makreezee's Khitat, art. خطّ البندقانيّين.)

بِنْصِرٌ بنصر نصر The finger that is next to the little finger; (S in art. بصر;) [ the third finger; ] that which is between the little and middle fingers: (Msb in art. بصر, and K:) of the fem. gender: (K:) pl. بَنَاصِرُ, (S,) or بَنَاصِرَةٌ. (Msb.) Accord. to the author of the K, the ن is a radical letter, and therefore the mention of this word in art. بصر is wrong. (TA.)

بَنَفْسَجٌ بنفسج , of the measure قَعَلَّلٌ, like سَفَرْجَلٌ, (Msb,) [an arabicized word, from the Persian بَنَفْشَ; The violet; viola odorata of Linn: and accord. to Forskål (Flora AEgypt. Arab. p. ciii.) applied in El-Yemen to the “ iris: ” and (p. cxx.) “ tagetes dubia? ”] what is thus called is well known: the smelling it in its fresh state is beneficial to those who are heated by wrath (المَحْرُورِين), and the continual smelling of it induces good sleep: the conserve made of it is beneficial for the pleurisy (ذَاتُ الجَنْبِ), and for inflammation of the lungs (ذَاتُ الرِّئَةِ), and for cough, and for headache. (K.)

1 بَنَقَ بنق نق , (K,) aor. بَنُقَ , inf. n. بَنْقٌ, (TK,) He joined [a thing to another thing, like as the بَنِيقَة of a shirt is joined: see the pass. part. n., below]; syn. وَصَلَ. (K.)

(K.) ― -b2- بنّق الجَعْبَةَ (tropical:) He made the upper part of the quiver wide [ by adding to it the like of a بَنِيقَة (see the pass. part. n., below,)], and the lower part narrow: (K, TA:) or he widened its upper part, the lower part being [or remaining ] narrow. (JK.)

بِنَقٌ بنق نق : see what next follows.

بِنَقَةٌ بنقه بنقة نق نقه : see what next follows.

بِنَيقٌ بنيق نيق : see what next follows.

بِنَيقَةٌ بنقة بنيقه بنيقة نيق The لِبْنَة, (AZ, Abu-l-Hajjáj El-Aalam, JK, S, K,) or دِخْرِصَة, (Abu-l-'Abbás El-Ahwal, TA,) [both of which signify the gore, ] of a shirt, (AZ, S, K,) or of a garment; (JK;) or the دخرصة is longer than the لبنة: (Seer, TA:) and any piece that is added in a garment or a leathern bucket to widen it: (Abu-l-Hajjáj ElAalam, TA:) or, accord. to IDrd, the دخاريص of a shirt: (TA: [but this is app. a mistranscription for its sing. دِخْرِيص, q. v., a dial. var. of دِخْرِصَة:]) or the جُرُبَّان [or opening at the neck and bosom ] of a shirt: (K:) جربّان is prefixed to البنيقة in a verse of Jereer, governing the latter in the gen. case, to show that both these words have the same meaning: (TA:) ↓ بِنَقَةٌ, also, signifies the same as بنيقة; (JK, K; [in the latter of which it is mentioned in such a manner as perhaps to denote that it has only the last of the significations above; but I think that this restriction is not meant;]) and its pl. [or rather the coll. gen. n.] is ↓ بِنَقٌ: (Ibn-'Abbád, TA:) Th mentions بَنَائِقٌ and بِنَقٌ, and says that the latter is a pl. pl. ; [i. e., pl. of the former;] but this is unintelligible: (TA:) بَنَائِقٌ is pl. of بَنِيقَةٌ, (JK, S, &c.,) and syn. with دَخَارِيصٌ. (JK.) AZ cites, from Mejnoon, كَمَا ضَمَّ أَزْرَارَ القَمِيصِ البَنَائِقٌ (S, IB,) which is an inverted phrase; the meaning being, كَمَا ضَمَّ أَزْرَارُ القَمِيصِ البَنَائِقَا [ Like as the buttons of the shirt draw together the gores: if the last word mean the gores ]: or, if the بنيقة of the shirt be really its جربّان, the meaning is intelligible [without inversion]; for its جربّان is the part around the neck, upon which are sewed the buttons; and when one desires to draw it together, he puts its buttons into the loops, and so draws together the bosom [of the shirt, with its buttons,] to the uppermost part of the chest. (IB, TA.) Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee explains البنائق, here, as meaning the loops into which the buttons are inserted; and accord. to this explanation the meaning is plain, not requiring the supposition of inversion nor of deviation from the usual way: but the first explanation is that which is generally given. (TA.) In the saying, ↓ قَدْ أَغْتَدِى وَ الدَّهْرُ ذُو بَنِيقِ [in the last word of which, ة is elided; lit., Sometimes I go forth early in the morning, when the time has a بَنِيقَة;] Lth says that the whiteness of the dawn is likened to the whiteness of the بنيقة; citing another verse, in which a shirt is described as having white بنائق. (TA.)

جَعْبَةٌ مُبنَّقَةٌ جعبة مبنقه جعبة مبنقة (tropical:) A quiver that is widened: (Ibn- 'Abbád, TA:) or in the upper part of which is added what resembles a بَنِيقَة, to enlarge it. (A, TA.) ― -b2- طَرِيقٌ مُبَنَّقٌ (tropical:) A wide road. (TA.)

أَرْضٌ مَبْنُوقَةٌ ذ (assumed tropical:) Land joined (مَوْصُولَة) to other land, like as the بَنِيقَة of a shirt is joined. (ISd, TA.) And مَفَازَةٌ مَبْنُوقَةٌ, (JK,) or مَبْنُوقَةٌ بِأُخْرَى, (TA,) (tropical:) [ A desert, or a desert in which is no water, &c.,] joined to another. (JK, TA.)

اِبْنُمٌ ابنم or اِبْنَمٌ, and ا@بْنُمٌ or ا@بْنَمٌ; and ا@بْنِيمَا for ا@بْنِمَا: see اِبْنٌ, in art. بنى.

1 بَنَا ب بان بن بنا بناء بننا , aor. بَنُوَ : see art. بنى.

بَنَوِيٌّ بنوى بنوي نواة نوى : see art. بنى.

1 بَنَاهُ باني بناء بناه بناة بنى بنية ناهي , (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. بَنِىَ , (M, Msb,) and بَنُىَ , but the former is the more common, (M,) [or rather the only form commonly known,] inf. n. بِنَاآءٌ (T, S, M, Mgh, K) and بِنًا (T, and TA as from the M [but it is not in the transcript of the M in the TT]) and بَنْىٌ and بُنْيَانٌ and بِنْيَةٌ and بنَايَةٌ, (M, K,) He built it; framed it; constructed it; contr. of هَدَمَهُ; (M, K;) namely, a house, (S, Mgh, Msb,) or tent, (S, * Msb,) &c.; (Msb;) as also ↓ ابتناه, (S, M, Msb, K,) and ↓ بنّاهُ; (M, K;) or the last has teshdeed given to it to denote muchness, or frequency, or repetition, of the action, or its application to many objects; and hence you say, بنّى قُصُورًا [ He built palaces, or pavilions: or he raised them high: see the pass. part. n. below]. (S, TA.) AHn speaks of a kind of plank as being used فِى بِنَاآءِ السُّفُنِ [ in the construction of ships ]: but بِنَاآءٌ is originally used only in relation to that which does not grow; as stone, and clay, and the like. (M.) You say also, بَنَى أَرْضًا, for بَنَى فِى أَرْضٍ [ He built in, or upon, land ]. (Mgh.) ― -b2- [Hence,] بَنَى عَلَى أَهْلِهِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) or عَلَى ا@مْرَأَتِهِ, (Mgh,) and بَنَى بِهَا also, (M, Mgh, Msb, K,) accord. to IDrd (Mgh, Msb) and IJ, (M,) and occurring in traditions and elsewhere, though said in the S to be vulgar, (IAth, MF,) and said to be so by ISk, (T, Msb,) and by some said to be not allowable, (M,) but the former is the more chaste, (Msb,) inf. n. بِنَاآءٌ; (S, TA;) as also ↓ ابتنى, (K,) i. e. ابتنى عليها, (ISk, Msb,) or ابتنى بِهَا, (IJ, M,) He had his wife conducted to him on the occasion of the marriage: (ISk, T, S, Msb, K:) or he went in to his wife [ for the first time ]: (Mgh, Msb:) originating from the fact that the bridegroom used, on that occasion, to pitch a tent for her, (ISk, T, S, Mgh, Msb,) a new tent, (Mgh, Msb,) and furnish it with what was requisite, (Msb,) or a new tent was set up for him, (Mgh, Msb,) in honour of him. (Msb.) [See also بَيْتٌ.] ― -b3- بِنَايَةٌ is sometimes used in relation to nobility: (M, K:) and the verb thus used is بَنَى, as above, (T, M,) having [also] بِنًى for its inf. n., (IAar, T,) and بِنَاآءٌ; held by many to be tropical, but by some to be proper. (MF.) Lebeed says, فَسَمَا اـِلَيْهِ كَهْلُهَا وَ غُلَامُهَا فَبَنَى لَنَا رَفِيعًا سَمْكُهُ (M) And He (namely, God,) hath built for us a house of nobility of lofty pitch, and its (the tribe's) middle-aged and its youth have risen to it: i. e., all of them have attained to high degrees. (EM, p. 180.) ― -b4- بَنَى بَدَنَهُ It (food) fattened his body, (K,) and made it large: (TA:) and بَنَى لَحْمَهُ, (T, M, K,) aor. بَنِىَ , (TA,) inf. n. بِنَاآءٌ, (M,) or بَنْىٌ, (TA,) It (food) made his flesh to grow, (T, M, K,) and to become large. (T, TA.) ― -b5- بَنَى الرَّجُلَ He reared, brought up, or educated, the man; (M, K;) as also ↓ ابتناهُ. (M.) ― -b6- [بَنَى كَلِمَةً, inf. n. بِنَاآءٌ, He formed a word. ― -b7- And He made a word indeclinable, so as to end invariably with a quiescent letter or with a particular vowel. ] بِنَاآءُ كَلِمَةٍ [when the former word is considered as the inf. n. of the pass. form بُنِىَ, generally] signifies A word's keeping always the same mode of termination, ending with a quiescent letter or with a particular vowel, not by reason of any governing word: (M, K:) as though the word resembled a fixed, immoveable building. (M.) [You say, بُنِيَتْ عَلَى السُّكُونِ It was made indeclinable, with a quiescent letter for its termination; and عَلَى الفَتْحِ with fet-h for its termination; &c. ― -b8- And in like manner you say, بَنَى القَصِيدَةَ عَلَى البَاآءِ, &c., He made the قصيدة to have ب, &c., for its rhyme-letter, or its chief rhyme-letter. ] -A2- بَنَتِ القَوْسُ عَلَى وَتَرِهَا The bow clave to its string (T, S, K) so that it (the latter) almost broke. (T, S.) [See the part. n. below.]

4 ابناهُ أبان أبن أبناه أبنناه ابناه ابناة ٱبن ٱبناه آب He made him to build, frame, or construct, a house, or tent: (S:) or he gave him a building: or he gave him that wherewith to build a house: (M, K:) and ابناهُ بَيْتًا he gave him a house, or tent, to build or frame or construct. (T.) It is said in a prov., المِعْزَي تُبْهِى وَلَا تُبْنِى [ Goats rend, or make holes, and render vacant, and do not afford materials for fabricating tents ]; i. e., they do not yield hair of which a tent is fabricated; (T, S; *) for the tents of the Arabs [of the desert] are of the kind called طِرَاف, made of skin, and أَخْبِيَة, made of wool or of camels' fur, and not of شَعَر [by which is especially meant goats' hair], (S,) or, as is found in the handwriting of Aboo-Sahl, of wool or of skin: (TA:) or the meaning is, goats rend tents, or pierce them with holes, by their leaping upon them, (T and S in art. بهو,) so that they cannot be inhabited, (S in that art.,) and do not aid in the fabrication of tents; for the goats of the Arabs of the desert have short hair, not long enough to be spun; whereas the goats of the cold countries, and of the people of the fertile regions, have abundant hair, and of this the Akrád [or Kurdees] fabricate their tents. (T.) ― -b2- [Hence,] He introduced him to his wife [ on the occasion of his marriage ]: whence the saying of 'Alee, مَتَى تُبْنيِنِى, accord. to IAth properly meaning مَتَى تَجْعَلُنِى أَبْنِى بِزَوْجَتِى [ When wilt thou make me to have my wife conducted to me? or, to go in to my wife? ]. (TA.)

5 تَبَنَّتْ تبنى تبنت , said of a woman sitting, (T, TA,) She became like a tent (T, IAth, K, * TA) of the kind called مِبْنَاةٌ, (T, TA,) i. e., a قُبَّة of skin; by reason of her fatness, (T, IAth, TA,) and largeness, (T, TA,) or fleshiness: (IAth, TA:) or she parted her legs; as though from مِبْنَاة, i. e. a قُبَّة of skin, which, when pitched, is spread out by the ropes: so this woman, sitting cross-legged, spread apart her legs. (T, TA.) And تبنّى, said of a camel's hump, It became fat.
