سَكْبٌ ذ and ↓ سَاكِبٌ and ↓ سَكُوبٌ and ↓ سَيْكَبٌ (K) and ↓ سَكِيبٌ (CK [omitted in the TA and in my MS. copy of the K]) and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ (K) Water poured out or forth, or being poured out or forth: or poured out or forth, (K, TA,) running upon the surface of the earth without any excavation: (TA:) or the first signifies water poured out or forth; and is an inf. n. used as an epithet, like صَبٌّ and غَوْرٌ applied as epithets to water: and ↓ سَكُوبٌ, water running upon the surface of the earth without any excavation: and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ, water pouring out or forth, or being poured out or forth; (S;) or, as some say, pouring much: (Har pp. 469 et seq.:) and also this last, running water: (TA:) or this signifies دَائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ [i. e. continually pouring, or continually pouring dispersedly and in large drops; as also سَكْبٌ; for hence it appears evident that الهَطَلَانُ الدَّائِمُ as an explanation of السَّكْبُ and الأُسْكُوبُ in the K is a mistake for الدَّائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ]; and is applied as an epithet to water and to blood; (A;) and also [probably in this sense] to clouds (سَحَابٌ); and to a wound made with a spear or the like (طَعْنَةٌ): and ↓سَاكِبٌ is applied as an epithet to tears (دَمْعٌ). (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence] سَكْبٌ applied to a horse means (tropical:) Wide in step: (S, A, K:) or fleet, or swift, or excellent in running; (A, K;) that runs much: (Mgh, TA:) or light, or active: and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ, so applied, has one or another of these meanings: (A:) or the former, thus applied, that runs vehemently; as also فَيْضٌ; likened to water pouring forth: (EthThaalebee, TA:) also, (K, TA,) applied to a horse and a man and a boy, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) light of spirit; and brisk, lively, or sprightly, (K, TA,) in work, or action. (TA.) السَّكْبُ was the name of the first horse possessed by the Prophet; (Mgh, * K;) as also ↓ السَّكَبُ: and the name of a horse of Shebeeb Ibn-Mo'áwiyeh. (K.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) A certain sort of clothes, or garments, (T, S, K,) thin so as to resemble dust, and as though resembling pouring water by reason of its thinness; and so, accord. to IAar, ↓سَكَبٌ. (T, TA.) ― -b4- Applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) Tall; (K;) a dial. var. of سَقْبٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) ― -b5- And (tropical:) A necessary thing or affair: (A, K, TA:) and (tropical:) a disgrace (سُبَّةٌ) that is necessary, or unavoidable. (A, TA.) Lakeet Ibn-Zurárah said to his brother Maabad, when he required him to ransom him with two hundred camels, he being a captive, نُمِيطُ عَنْكَ شَيْئًا يَكُونُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ سُبَّةً سَكْبًا, meaning (tropical:) [ We will put away from thee a thing that would be to the people of thy house ] a necessary, or an unavoidable, disgrace.

(TA.) ― -b2- It is also said to be The [ plant called ] ريح [app. رَيِّح or رِيح which seem to be coll. gen. ns. of each of which the n. un. is with ة (see رَيِّحَةٌ)], having a yellow blossom.

سِكْبَاجٌ ذ an arabicized word, (O, Msb, K,) with kesr (Msb, K) to the س, not with fet-h, because there is no word of the measure فَعْلَالٌ except of the reduplicate class [like زَلْزَالٌ &c.], (Msb,) from سِكْ, meaning “vinegar,” in Pers., and بَاج, [arabicized from the Pers. بَاهَا,] i. e. لَوْنٌ [as meaning “a sort,” or “species,” of food or viands]; (O; [in which it is erroneously said that بَاج is in Pers. بَاوَا;]) or from [the Pers.] سِرْكَهْ PَاJَهْ; [سِرْكَهْ meaning “vinegar;” and PَاJَهْ “sheeps' feet,” or “trotters;”] (TA;) [but the former derivation is evidently the more probable;] A well-known kind of food; (Msb;) flesh-meat cooked with vinegar: this is the best that is said [in explanation of the word]: (TA:) [in the present day, applied to a sort of food composed of flesh-meat, wheat-flour, and vinegar; and sometimes to other varieties of food, but vinegar, I believe, enters into the composition of them all: also called سِكْبَا; from the Pers. سِكْ “vinegar,” and بَا “spoon-meat:” accord. to Golius, on the authority of the Loghat NiametAllah Khaleel Soofee, a sort of food composed of flesh-meat cut in pieces, ( to which are afterwards added raisins, a few figs, and some vetches, ) with vinegar and honey, or acid syrop: and سِكْبَاجُ البَقَرِ is a name given to such food prepared with beef: ] سِكْبَاجٌ أَصْفَرُ is a well-known sort of broth [or soup ] in which is saffron, wherefore it is termed اصفر.

(S, K.) It is said in a prov., سَكَتَ أَلْفًا ونَطَقَ خَلْفًا He held his tongue from a thousand words (سَكَتَ عَنْ أَلْفِ كَلِمَةٍ), and then uttered what was wrong. (ISk, S and Msb in art. خلف.) And you say [of the quiescent ه that is sometimes added at the end of a word, after a vowel or a letter of prolongation, as in لَمْ يَرْضَهْ and وَا زَيْدَاهْ], هٰذِهِ هَاآءُ السَّكْتِ [ This is the هاء of pausation ]. (A, TA.) One says also, of a she-camel, سَكَتَتْ, inf. n. سُكُوتٌ, meaning She uttered not the [ grumbling ] cry termed رُغَاآء when the saddle was put upon her. (ISd, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence سَكَتَ, aor. as above, inf. n. سَكْتٌ, as syn. with سَكَنَ, meaning as expl. above; and also (assumed tropical:) It was, or became, still, quiet, motionless, at rest, stilled, quieted, appeased, tranquillized, calm, allayed, assuaged, or quelled; it remitted; it subsided; and so ↓ اسكت.] You say, ضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى سَكَتَتْ حَرَكَتُهُ (A) or حركته ↓ أَسْكَتَتْ (TA) (tropical:) [ He beat him until his motion became stilled ]; and ↓ حتّى أَسْكَتَ (assumed tropical:) [ until he became still ].

(A.) Hence, in the Kur [vii. 153], وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَنْ مُوسَى الغَضَبُ, (S,) meaning, accord. to Zj, سَكَنَ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) And when the anger became stilled so that it departed from Moses ]: or, as some say, the phrase is inverted, the meaning being وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ مُوسَى عَنِ الغَضَبِ [ And when Moses was silent, ceasing from anger ]: but the former is the explanation of those skilled in the Arabic language. (TA. [See also 4.]) You say also, سَكَتَ الحَرُّ, meaning (assumed tropical:) The heat became vehement, or intense, the wind being still. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) He died: (K:) occurring in this sense in a trad.

(TA.) -A2- اسكتهُ and ↓ سكّتهُ (S, A, Msb) both signify the same, said of God (S) [and of a man]; He made him, or rendered him, silent, mute, or speechless; (Msb;) [ he silenced, or hushed, him; ] namely, a person speaking. (A.) And اسكتهُ عَنِى [ He made him to abstain from speaking of, or to, me ]. (As, TA in art. نصت.) And اسكت الصَّبِىَّ بِسُكْتَةٍ [ He silenced, or hushed, the child with a سُكْتَة]. (Lh, S, A, K.) And أُسْكِتَ means He was silenced in a dispute or the like. (A, TA.) ― -b2- [And hence, (assumed tropical:) He stilled, quieted, appeased, tranquillized, calmed, allayed, assuaged, or quelled, it. ] In the Kur vii. 153, some read, ↓ وَلَمَّا سُكِتَ عَنْ مُوسَى الغَضَبُ and أُسْكِتَ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) And when the anger was stilled so that it was made to depart from Moses ]. (Bd. [For the usual reading see 1, latter part.])

(A, TA.) ― -b2- In prayer, A silence [or pause ] after the commencement; [i. e. after what precedes the first recitation of the Opening Chapter of the Kur-án; ] which is approved: and, in like manner, after the ending of the recitation of the Opening Chapter of the Kur-án.

(TA.) ― -b5- See also the next paragraph: -A2- and see سِكِّيتٌ.

سُكْتَةٌ ذ : see سِكْتَةٌ. ― -b2- Also A thing (S, A, Msb, K) of any kind (S) with which one silences, or hushes, or quiets, a child, (S, A, Msb, K,) or other person; (S, K;) [generally meaning a lullaby of any kind for a child: ] and somewhat remaining in a bag or other receptacle, (K, TA,) i. e. of food.

سِكْتَةٌ ذ is a subst. from سَكَتَ; [signifying Silence, &c.; like سُكُوتٌ used as a subst.;] as also ↓ سُكْتَةٌ. (Lh, TA.) ― -b2- See also سَكْتَةٌ.

سُكَاتٌ ذ Constant, or continual, silence. (Msb.) Hence, by way of comparison, one says, الاـِفْحَامُ سُكَاتٌ [as though meaning The state of being silenced in a dispute, &c., is a state of constant, or continual, silence: but it seems to mean, more probably, الافحام (as an act. inf. n.) is an act that silences; agreeably with what here follows]. (Msb.) ― -b2- رَمَاهُ بِسُكَاتٍ (AZ, M, K) and ↓ سُكَاتَةٍ, (AZ, S, M, A, K,) to which latter is generally added وَصُمَاتَةٍ, (M, TA,) He (a man, S, M, and God, TA) smote him, or afflicted him, with a thing that silenced him; (S, A, K;) thought by ISd to mean, with anxiety, or grief, that silenced him, or a thing in consequence of which he became silent: not expl. by AZ. (TA.) ― -b3- [In like manner] one says also, ↓ رَمَاهُ بِالمُسْكِتَاتِ [ He smote him, or afflicted him, with the words, or acts, that silenced him ]. (T in art. رم, from Aboo-Málik.)

Sb says that سُكَيْتٌ is a contracted dim. of سُكَّيْتٌ; the uncontracted dim. of which is سُكَيْكِيتٌ. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence,] one says, فُلَانٌ سُكَيْتُ الحَلْبَةِ [lit. Such a one is the tenth horse of those that are started together for a wager ], meaning (tropical:) such a one is scrupulously nice and exact, or neat, [ and therefore deliberate, ] in his handicraft.
