In the saying of Dhn-r-Rummeh, تَقَوَّبَ عَنْ غِرْبَانِ أَوْرَاكِهَا الخَطْرُ تَقَوَّبَ may be for ↓ قَوَّبَ [q. v.]: or the phrase may be inverted, for تَقَوَّبَتْ غِرْبَانُهَا عَنِ الخَطْرِ. (S in art. خطر. [See غُرَابٌ, in art. غرب.]) ― -b4- It is also said of a place as meaning It became, in parts, stripped of trees and herbage; and so ↓ انقاب.

And he was at the distance of the measure of the two portions between the part that is grasped by the hand and each of the curved extremities of a bow ]: (S, O:) [but] قَابٌ signifies also a measure, or space; and so ↓ قِيبٌ: (S, O, K:) one says, بَيْنَهُمَا قَابُ قَوْسٍ and قَوْسٍ ↓ قِيبُ, [ Between them two is the measure of a bow ], and likewise قَادُ قُوْسٍ and قِيدُ قَوْسٍ: (S, O: *) and it is said that قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ [in the case mentioned above] means at [ the distance of ] the length of two bows: or as Fr says, at [ the distance of ] the measure of two Arabian bows. (TA.) [قابُ قَوْسٍ is also a term often used in astronomy to denote the distance between two stars; and seems to be syn. with ذِرَاعٌ (q. v.) as so used, thus meaning A cubit; which is the measure of each قاب of a bow, or nearly so.]

(K.) It is said in a prov., مِنْ قُوبٍ ↓ بَرِئَتْ قَائِبَةٌ, (S, A, O,) or مِنْ قُوبٍ ↓ تَخَلَّصَتْ قَائَبِةٌ, (K,) or مِنْ قُوبٍ ↓ قَابَةٌ, (tropical:) An egg became or has become, freed from a young bird [that was in it]: (S, A, O, K:) or a young bird, from an egg: (AHeyth, TA:) applied to him who has become separated from his companion.

(S, O.) El-Kumeyt says لَهُنَّ وَلِلْمَشِيبِ وَمَنْ عَلَاهُ وَقُوبُ ↓ مِنَ الأَمْثَالِ قَائِبَةٌ [ To them (i. e. women), and to hoariness and him upon whom it has come, relates, among the proverbs, “ An egg and a young bird ”]: he likens the fleeing of women from old men to the fleeing of the قُوب, or young bird, from the قَائِبَة, or egg; and [virtually] says that the beautiful woman will not return to the old man, like as the young bird will not return to the egg. (TA.) And Aboo-'Alee El-Kálee mentions the saying, مِنْ قُوبٍ ↓ لَا وَالَّذِى أَخْرَجَ قَائِبَةً, as meaning [ No, by Him who has produced ] a young bird from an egg: but Aboo-'Obeyd El-Bekree says that this is inverted. (MF, TA.) ― -b2- أُمُّ قُوبٍ [in the TA said to be بالفتح, a mistranscription for بِالضَّمِّ,] Calamity, or misfortune. (O, K.)

قُوَبٌ ذ [in the two phrases here following is probably pl. of ↓ قُوبَةٌ]. You say, فِى الأَرْضِ قُوَبٌ In the ground are hollows [app. meaning round hollows: see 1, first sentence]. (A.) And فِى رَأْسِهِ وَجِلْدِهِ قُوَبٌ In his head and his skin are pits. (A, TA.) ― -b2- And hence ↓ القُوَبَاآءُ. (A.) See قُوَبَاآءُ, in two places. ― -b3- It signifies [also] Egg-shells. (O, K.)

IAar] also says that ↓ قُوَبٌ is pl. of ↓ قُوْبَةٌ and ↓ قُوَبَةٌ; and this is clear. (TA.) The dim. of قُوَبَاآءُ is ↓ قُوَيْبَاآءُ; and that of قُوْبَاآءٌ is ↓ قُوَيْبِىٌّ. (S, O.)
