3 لابس الرَّجُلَ ذ , [inf. n. مُلَابَسَةٌ and لِبَاسٌ,] He mixed, consorted, or held social intercourse, with the man; syn. خَالَطَهُ. (M, A, Msb. *) [Hence, app., it is said that] اللِّبَاسُ signifies, (K,) or is from المُلَابَسَةُ, which signifies, (Ibn-'Arafeh) The mixing one's self and congregating: or the being mixed and congregated. (Ibn-'Arafeh, K.) You say, لَا بَسْتُهُ حَتَّى عَرَفْتُ دُخْلَتَهُ I mixed with him [ until I knew his mind, or inward state or circumstances ]. (A.)

(TA,) or أَلْبَسَ, (AA,) [ The clouds covered the sky, &c.;] but you do not say, لَبِسَ السَّمَاآءُ السَّحَابَ. (AA.) And أَلْبَسَنَا اللَّيْلُ [ The night covered us, &c.]; but not لَبِسْنَا اللَّيْلَ. (AA.) And البسهُ الشَّبَابُ: see 1 in art. غطو and غطى. -A2- أَلْبَسَتِ الأَرْضُ The land became covered by plants, or herbage. (M.) -A3- See also 8.

5 تلبّس بِالثَّوْبِ ذ (S, K) He clad himself [lit. mixed himself, being explained by اـِخْتَلَطَ,] with the garment. (K.) You say, تلبّس بِلِبَاسٍ حَسَنٍ and لِبَاسًا حَسَنًا [ He clad himself with goodly clothing ]. (A, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] تلبّس بِالأَمْرِ (S, K) [and بِهِ ↓ التبس] He employed, busied, or occupied, himself [lit. mixed himself ] with the affair; engaged in it; entered into it; became involved in it, or implicated in it; (K;) and [in like manner] الأَمْرَ ↓ لَابَسَ, syn. خَالَطَهُ. (S, K. *) You say also, عَمَلَهُ ↓ لَابَسَ and بِهِ ↓ التبس and تلبسّ بِهِ [ He employed, busied, or occupied, himself with his work, or the like ]. (A, TA.)

[See an ex. in a verse cited voce عَطْفَةٌ.]

8 التبس ذ It (spun thread) became entangled. (Lth, Az, Sgh, in TA, art. عسر.) ― -b2- It (a thing, or an affair, or a case) became [ involved, complicated, ] confounded, or confused, (S, M, Msb, *) and dubious; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ أَلْبَسَ, (TA,) and ↓ لَبَّسَ, which last belongs to the class of بَيَّنَ in the phrase قَدْ بَيَّنَ الصُّبْحُ لِذِى عَيْنَيْنِ (M, TA.) [You say, التبس الشَّىْءُ بِشَىْءٍ اآخَرَ The thing became confounded with another thing; as, for instance, a subst. with a part. n. when both are written in the same manner, as in the case of كَاهِلٌ.] And التبس عَلَيْهِ الأَمْرُ The thing, or affair, became confused and dubious to him.

(A, TA.) ― -b5- [التبس بِهِ also signifies He, or it, made it to be, or had it, as an accompaniment, or an adjunct. Hence, one of the uses of the preposition بِ is explained by some as being لِلْاِلْتِبَاسِ: by others, ↓ لِلْمُلَابَسَةِ, or لِلْمُصَاحَبَةِ: all of which signify nearly the same. For instance, it is said in the Mgh, art. توج, that in the phrase التَّمَاثِيلُ بِالتِيجَانِ “ the effigies with the crowns ” upon pieces of money, بالتيجان is used as a denotative of state, meaning مُلْتَبِسَةً بِالِتّيجَانِ and مَقْرُونَةً مَعَهَا accompanied with the crowns, as their attributes: and نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ “ we declare thy remoteness from evil, with the praising of Thee, ” in the Kur ii. 28, is explained by Bd and others as meaning, مُلْتَبِسِينَ بِحَمْدِكَ making the praising of Thee to be as an accompaniment, or an adjunct, to our doing that: and تَنْبُتُ بِا@لدُّهْنِ “ growing, with oil ”, in the same, xxiii. 20, as meaning, مُلْتَبِسًا بِالدُّهْنِ having oil as an accompaniment to its growth. Sometimes, in such instances, we find مُتَلَبِّسًا and مُتَلَبِّسِينَ in the places of مُلْتَبِسًا and مُلْتَبِسِينَ: see 5.]

لَبْسٌ ذ Confusedness of a thing or an affair or a case; as also ↓ لَبَسٌ: (M:) [and ↓ لُبْسٌ and ↓ لُبْسَةٌ and ↓ لَبُوسَةٌ and ↓ لُبُوسَةٌ have the same, or a similar, signification.] You say, فِى رَأْيِهِ لَبْسٌ In his judgment, or opinion, is confusedness. (K.) And ↓ فِى الأَمْرِ لُبْسَةٌ (S, M, * A, Msb, K *) and ↓ لُبْسٌ (M, A, Msb.) In the thing, or affair, or case, is confusedness, and dubiousness; (S, M, Msb, K; *) obscureness, or want of clearness. (S, A.) And ↓ فِى حَدِيثِهِ لُبْسَةٌ In his discourse is confusedness and dubiousness; it is not clear. (TA.) And ↓ فِى كَلَامِهِ لَبُوسَةٌ and ↓ لُبُوسَةٌ In his language is confusedness and dubiousness.

(TA.) ― -b2- مَا أَبْقَى مِنِّى اـِلَّا لُتَاتًا, occurring in a trad., means, It (the disease) left nothing remaining of me but dry skin like the bark of trees.

اللَّاتُّ ذ , occurring in the Kur [liii. 19,] (TA,) so accord. to the reading of Ibn-'Abbás and 'Ikrimeh and some others, (K,) and so originally accord. to Fr.: (TA:) afterwards contracted into اللَّاتُ: (Fr, K:) which is the common reading: (Fr:) A certain idol; thus called by the appellation of a man who used to moisten سَوِيق with clarified butter at the place thereof: (K:) the man who did this was thus called, and afterwards the idol itself. (TA.) Some of the lexicologists say, that it was a mass of rock, at the place whereof was a man who used to moisten سويق for the pilgrims, and which, when he died, was worshipped: (L:) but ISd says, I know not what is the truth in this case. (TA.) In the R it is said, that the man who used to do this was 'Amr Ibn-Lu-eí; that when the tribe of Khuzá'ah obtained the dominion over Mekkeh, and banished the tribe of Jurhum, the Arabs made him a Lord, or an object of worship; and that he was El-Látt, who used to moisten سويق for the pilgrims upon a well-known rock, called صخْرَةُ اللَّاتِّ: or, it is said, that the man in question was of the tribe of Thakeef; and that when he died, 'Amr Ibn-Loheí (لحى: so in the TA) said to the people, “ He hath not died, but hath entered the rock: ” and ordered them to worship it, and built over it a house called اللات: it is also said to have continued thus during the life of this man and that of his son, for three hundred years: then that rock was named اللَّاتُ, without teshdeed to the ت, and was taken for an idol, to be worshipped. (TA.) It is disputed whether it were [an idol] of the tribe of Thakeef at Et-Táïf, or of the tribe of Kureysh at En-Nakhleh. (MF.) Some say, that the ت is originally without teshdeed, and to denote the fem. gender: Ks used to pronounce the word in a case of pause اللَّاهْ; and Aboo-Is-hák [Zj] says, that this is agreeable with analogy; but that the more approved mode is to pronounce it in such case with ت. AM says, that the manner in which Ks pronounced it in a case of pause shows that he did not derive it from لَتٌّ. The polytheists who worshipped this idol used to compare its name with the name of اللّٰه. It is also said, that اللَّاتُ, without teshdeed, is of the measure فَعَلَةٌ [originally اللَّوَيَةُ] from the root لوى; [and that the said idol was so called] because they used to compass it, or perform circuits round it. (TA.) [See art. لوى: and see also arts. لوه and ليه: and الرَّبَّةُ, in art رب.]
