تِئْمٌ ذ , whence هُوَ تِئْمُهُ: see تَوْءَمٌ.

تَئِيمٌ ذ , whence هُوَ تَئِيمُهُ: see تَوْءَمٌ.

تُؤَامِيَّةٌ ذ A pearl; (M, K;) so called in relation to تُؤَامٌ, (TA,) which is a town twenty leagues from the metropolis of 'Omán, (K, TA,) in the tract next the sea, (TA,) a city of 'Omán whence pearls are purchased, (M,) erroneously called by J تَوْءَمٌ, [but in one copy of the S I find it written تُوام,] and said by him to be the metropolis of 'Omán; (K;) as also ↓ تَوْءَمِيَّةٌ, (TA, [and thus it is written in copies of the S, but in one copy I find it written تُوامِيَّة,]) thought by En-Nejeeremee to be thus called in relation to the oyster-shell, because this is always what is termed تَوْءَمٌ, q. v. (TA.)

تَوْءَمٌ تم توءم توأم A twin; one of two young, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) and of more, (M, K,) brought forth at one birth, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) of any animals; whether a male or a female, or a male [ brought forth ] with a female; (M, K;) and تَوْءَمَةٌ is [also] applied to a female: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) it occurs in poetry contracted into تَوَمٌ: (M:) the pl. is تَوَائِمُ and تُؤَامٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) the latter of which is of a rare form, not without parallels, (M,) said by some to be a quasi-pl. n., and by some to be originally [تِئَامٌ,] with kesr, but the assertion of these last is condemned by AHei; (MF;) and تَوْءَمُونَ is allowable as applied to human beings: (S, TA:) you say, هُوَ تَوْءَمُهُ [in the TA, erroneously, تُؤْمُهُ, with damm,] and ↓ تِئْمُهُ and ↓ تَئِيمُهُ [in the CK تَيْئمُهُ] (AZ, M, K) [meaning He is his twin-brother ]: and هُمَا تَوْءَمَانِ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb * K) and تَوْءَمٌ (M, K) [ They two are twin-brothers ]: or تَوْءَمٌ applies only to one of the two; (Msb;) it is a mistake to say هُمَا تَوْءَمٌ and هُمَا زَوْجٌ: (Mgh:) [but see زَوْجٌ:] Lth says that تَوْءَمٌ applies to two sons, or young ones, [ born ] together; and that one should not say هُمَا تَوْءَمَانِ, but هُمَا تَوْءَمٌ: this, however, is a mistake: correctly, as ISk and Fr say, تَوْءَمٌ applies to one, and تَوْءَمَانِ to two. (T, TA.) It is of the measure فَوْعَلٌ, (Kh, S, IB, Msb,) in the opinion of some, (IB,) and originally وَوْءَمٌ, (Kh, T, S, IB,) like as تَوْلَجٌ is originally وَوْلَجٌ; (Kh, T, S;) from الوِئَامُ, (T, IB,) “ the being mutually near, ” (T,) “ mutually agreeing, ” (T, IB,) “ being mutually conformable; ” (IB;) so that it means one that agrees with, or matches, another, (IB.) ― -b2- It is metaphorically used in relation to all things resembling one another [so that it means (tropical:) One of a pair ]. (M.) A poet says, قَالَتْ لَنَا وَدَمْعُهَا تُؤَامُ كَا@لدُّرِّ اـِذْ أَسْلَمَهُ ا@لنِّظَامُ عَلَى ا@لَّذِينَ ا@رْتَحَلُوا ا@لسَّلَامُ (assumed tropical:) [ She said to us, while her tears fell in pairs, or in close succession, like large pearls when the string lets them drop off, Upon those who have departed be peace ]. (S.) [This citation, and what immediately follows it in the S, mentioning the pl. تَوْءَمُونَ, not تُؤَامُونَ, have been misunderstood by Golius; and Freytag has followed him in this case.] ― -b3- التَّوْءَمُ is also [a name of] (assumed tropical:) A certain Mansion [ of the Moon; namely, the Sixth; more commonly called الهَنْعَةُ;] pertaining to الجَوْزَاآء [here meaning Gemini ]; (M, K;) one of two [ asterisms ] called تَوْءَمَانِ: (M:) التَّوْءَمَانِ is (assumed tropical:) The Sign of Gemini. (Kzw.) ― -b4- [The pl.] تَوَائِمُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Clusters, or what are clustered together, (مَا تَشَابَكَ,) of stars, and of pearls. (M, K.) ― -b5- And تَوْءَمَانِ, (assumed tropical:) A pair of pearls, or large pearls, for the ear: each of them is termed a تَوْءَمَة to the other. (TA.) ― -b6- التَّوْءَمَانِ, [in the CK التَّوْءَمانُ,] (assumed tropical:) A certain small herb, (AHn, M, K,) having a fruit like cumin-seed, (AHn, M, and K in art. وأم,) and many leaves, growing in the plains, spreading long and wide, and having a yellow flower. (AHn, TA.) ― -b7- التَّوْءَمُ also signifies (assumed tropical:) The arrow of the kind used in the game called المَيْسِر: (M:) or a certain arrow of those used in that game: (K:) or the second of those arrows; (S, M, K;) said by Lh to have two notches, and to entitle to two portions [ of the slaughtered camel ] if successful, and to subject to the payment for two portions if unsuccessful. (M.) ― -b8- And تَوْءَمَاتٌ, (assumed tropical:) A kind of women's vehicles [ borne by camels ], (T, K,) like the مَشَاجِر, (T, TA,) erroneously said in the copies of the K to be like the مَشَاجِب, (TA,) having no coverings, or canopies: the sing. is تَوْءَمَةٌ. (T, K.)

تَوْءَمِيَّةٌ تميه تمية توءميه توءمية توأم : see تُؤَامِيَّةٌ.

مُتْئِمٌ ذ Twinning, or bringing forth two at one birth; (S, M, Msb, K;) applied to a mother, (K,) or a woman, (S, M, Msb,) and to any pregnant animal; (M;) without ة. (Msb.)

مِتْاآمٌ متاآم Accustomed to twin, or bring forth two at one birth; (S, M, K;) applied to a mother, (K,) or a woman, (S, M,) and to any pregnant animal: (M:) pl. مَتَائِيمُ. (Har p. 613.) ― -b2- Hence, (Har ubi suprà,) ثَوْبٌ مِتْاآمٌ, (S, Har,) or ↓ مُتَاآءَمٌ, (TA, PS,) [both app. correct,] (assumed tropical:) A piece of cloth woven of threads two and two together in its warp and its woof. (S, Har, TA.) ― -b3- Hence, also, أَبْيَاتٌ مَتَائِيمُ (tropical:) Verses consisting of words in pairs whereof each member resembles the other in writing. (Har ubi suprà.) [See also مُتَوْءَمٌ.]

مُتَاآءَمٌ متاآءم : see مِتْاآمٌ.

تَجْنِيسٌ مُتَوْءَمٌ تجنيس متم تجنيس متوءم (assumed tropical:) The using two words resembling each other in writing but not in expression; as in the saying, غَرَّكَ عِزُّكَ فَصَارَ قُصَارُ ذٰلِكَ ذُلَّكَ فَا@خْشَ فَاحِشَ فِعْلِكَ فَعَلَّكَ تُهْدَا بِهٰذَا [ Thy might, or elevated rank, hath deceived thee, and the end of that has become thine ignominy: fear then thine exorbitant deed, and may-be thou wilt be made to follow a right course by this ]. (Har p. 269.)

1 تَبV3َ [تَبَّ, aor. تَبِ3َ , inf. n. تَبٌّ, and perhaps ↓ تَبَبٌ and ↓ تَبَابٌ and ↓ تَبِيبٌ, He, or it, suffered loss, or diminution; or became lost: and perished, or died: as also ↓ تبّب, inf. n. تَتْبِيبٌ: and app. تُبَّ also.] تَبٌّ (M, A, K) and ↓ تَتْبِيبٌ (M, K) [as inf. ns.] signify The suffering loss, or diminution; or being lost: and perishing, or dying: or [used as substs.] loss, or diminution; or the state of being lost: and perdition, or death: (M, * A, K: *) and so ↓ تَبَابٌ, (T, S, A, Msb, K,) [said to be] a subst. from تَبَّبَهُ, with teshdeed, (Msb,) and ↓ تَبَبٌ and ↓ تَبِيبٌ: (K:) or the last three signify [simply] perdition, or death: (M:) and ↓ تَتْبِيبٌ is explained as signifying loss, or diminution, that brings, or leads, to perdition or death; (IAth, TA;) and so ↓ تَبَابٌ; (Bd in cxi. 1;) and the causing to perish. (T, TA.) Hence you say, ↓ تَبَّ تَبَابًا [meaning, in an emphatic manner, May he suffer loss, or be lost, or perish ]. (S.) And تَبًّا لَهُ May God decree to him loss, or perdition; or cause loss, or perdition, to cleave to him: (S, M, * Msb, * K: *) تَبًّا being in the accus. case as an inf. n. governed by a verb understood. (S.) And ↓ تَبًّا تَبِيبًا, [in the CK تَتْبِيبًا,] meaning the same in an intensive, or emphatic, manner: (M, K:) and ↓ تَبًّا تَبَابًا. (TA.) And تَبَّتْ يَدَاهُ, (T, S, M, K,) and تَبَّتْ يَدُهُ, aor. تَبِ3َ , (Msb,) inf. n. تَبٌّ and ↓ تَبَابٌ, but IDrd says that the former of these seems to be the inf. n., and the latter the simple subst., (M,) May his arms, or hands, and his arm, or hand, suffer loss, or be lost, or perish: (T, M, Msb, K, and Bd in cxi. 1:) or (tropical:) may he himself suffer loss, &c., (Msb, * and Bd ubi suprà,) i. e., (tropical:) his whole person: (Jel in cxi. 1:) or (tropical:) his good in the present life and that in the life to come. (Bd ubi suprà.) ― -b2- [Hence,] تَبَّ (A, TA) and ↓ تَبْتَبَ (T, K) (tropical:) He became an old man: (T, A, K:) the loss of youth being likened to تَبَابَ. (TA.) -A2- تَبَّ, [aor., accord. to rule, تَبُ3َ ,] He cut, or cut off, a thing. (K.) And تُبَّ It was cut, or cut off. (TA.)

2 تبّب تبب , inf. n. تَتْبِيبٌ: see 1, in three places. -A2- , تبّبهُ (inf. n. as above, S,) [ He caused him to suffer loss, or to become lost: or] he destroyed him, or killed him. (S, K.) ― -b2- He said to him تَبًّا: (M, K: *) [i. e.] he imprecated loss, or perdition, or death, upon him. (A.)

4 اتبّ ا@للّٰهُ قُوَّتَهُ ذ (tropical:) God weakened, or impaired, or may God weaken, or impair, his strength. (K, TA.)

10 استتبّ أستتب استتب ٱستتاب ٱستتب (tropical:) It (a road) became beaten, or trodden, and rendered even, or easy to walk or ride upon, or easy and direct. (A.) ― -b2- (tropical:) It (an affair) was, or became, rightly disposed or arranged; in a right state: (S, M, A, Msb:) or it followed a regular, or right, course; was in a right state; and clear, or plain: from مُسْتَتِبٌّ applied to a road, explained below: (T, TA:) or it became complete, and in a right state: lit. it demanded loss, or diminution, or destruction; because these sometimes follow completeness: (Har p. 35:) or the ب may be a substitute for م; the meaning being استتمّ. (TA.)

(K.) -A2- [It is also said in the K to signify What the ribs infold: but I think it probable that this meaning has been assigned to it from its having been found erroneously written for تَبُوتٌ, a dial. var. of تَابُوتٌ.]

تَابٌّ أبى تأب تاب (tropical:) An old man; (AZ, T, M, A, K;) fem. with ة: (AZ, T, M, A:) and (assumed tropical:) weak: pl. أَتْبَابٌ: of the dial. of Hudheyl; and extr. [with respect to analogy].

1 تَبِعَهُ أباع باع تبع تبعه تبعة , (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. تَبَعَ , inf. n. تَبَعٌ (S, Msb, K) and تَبَاعَةٌ, (S, K,) He followed; or went, or walked, behind, or after; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) him, (Mgh, Msb, K,) or it; namely, a people, or company of men: (S:) or [in the CK “ and ”] he went with him, or it, when the latter had passed by him: (S, Mgh, Msb, K:) and ↓ اِتَّبَعَهُ signifies the same; (Lth, S, K *) and so does ↓ أَتْبَعَهُ: (Lth, Mgh, K:) or ↓ أَتْبَعْتُهُمْ signifies I overtook them, they having gone before me; (Fr, * A'Obeyd, S, Msb, * K;) as also تَبِعْتُهُمْ: (Fr, K:) Akh says that تَبِعْتُهُ and ↓ أَتْبَعْتُهُ signify the same: and hence the saying in the Kur [xxxvii. 10], شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ ↓ فَأَتْبَعَهُ [ and a shooting star piercing the darkness by its light overtaketh him ]: (S:) and the saying in the same [vii. 174], ↓ فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ and the devil overtook him: (TA:) and the saying in the same [xx. 81], فِرْعَوْنُ ↓ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ بِجُنُودِهِ and Pharaoh overtook them with his troops: or almost did so: (Ibn-'Arafeh, K:) or this signifies made his troops to follow them; (TA;) the ب, accord. to some, being redundant: (Bd:) or ↓ أَتْبَعَهُ signifies he followed his footsteps; and sought him, following him: (TA:) but ↓ اِتَّبَعَهُمْ signifies he went [ after them, or followed them, ] when they had passed by him; as also تَبِعَهُمْ, inf. n. تَبَعٌ: you say, ↓ حَتَّى أَتْبَعْتُهُمْ ↓ مَا زِلْتُ أَتَّبِعُهُمْ, i. e. [ I ceased not to follow them ] until I overtook them: (A'Obeyd:) Fr says that ↓ أَتْبَعَ is better than ↓ اِتَّبَعَ; for the latter signifies he went behind, or after, him, when the latter person was going along; but when you say, ↓ أَتْبَعْتُهُ, it is as though [you meant that] you followed his footsteps: (TA:) and ↓ فُلَانٌ فُلَانًا ↓ اِتَّبَعَ [as in the L and TA, but perhaps a mistake for ↓ أَتْبَعَ,] signifies also he followed him, desiring to do evil to him; like as Pharaoh followed Moses: (L, TA:) some say, تَبِعْتُ الشَّىْءَ, inf. n. تُبُوعٌ, meaning I went after the thing: and تَبِعَ الشَّىْءَ, inf. n. تَبَعٌ and تَبَاعٌ, (assumed tropical:) [ he followed the thing ] in respect of actions: (L, TA:) you say, تَبِعَ الاـِمَامَ (assumed tropical:) he followed the Imám [ by doing as he did ]: (Msb:) [but in this last sense, more commonly,] one says, ↓ اِتَّبَعَهُ, meaning (assumed tropical:) he did like as he [another] did: (TA:) and القُرْاآنَ ↓ اِتَّبَعَ (assumed tropical:) he followed the Kurán as his guide; did according to what is in it: (TA:) and you say also, عَلَى الأَمْرِ ↓ تَابَعَهُ; (Msb;) or على كَذَا, inf. n. مُتَابَعَةٌ and تِبَاعٌ; (S;) (assumed tropical:) [ he followed him, or imitated him, in the affair; ] (Msb;) he followed him, or imitated him, in doing such a thing: (PS:) [but this last phrase has another meaning: see 3.] In the saying, لَا يُتْبَعُ بِنَارٍ اـِلَى القَبْرِ, [in which the verb may be pass. of تَبِعَ or of ↓ أَتْبَعَ,] or, accord. to one relation, ↓ لا يُتَّبَعُ, each in the pass. form, [ Fire shall not be made to follow to the grave, though it may be rendered one shall not follow with fire to the grave, it is said that] the ب is to render the verb transitive. (Mgh.) ― -b2- تَبِعْتُ الرَّجُلَ بِحَقِّى; and بِهِ ↓ تَابَعْتُهُ, inf. n. مُتَابَعَةٌ [and probably تبَاعٌ also]; and به ↓ اِتَّبَعْتُهُ; I prosecuted, or sued, the man for my right, or due. (TA.) The saying in the Kur [ii. 173], بِا@لْمَعْرُوفِ ↓ فَا@تِّبَاعٌ means [ Then ] prosecution for the bloodwit [shall be made with lenity ]. (TA.) ― -b3- تَبِعَ, of which the aor., يَتْبَع, occurs in a trad., [see 4,] (Mgh, TA,) pronounced by the relaters of trads. with teshdeed, [↓ يَتَّبِع,] (TA,) also signifies (assumed tropical:) He accepted a reference from his debtor to another for the payment of what was owed to him.

3 تِبَاعٌ أباع بيع تباع [and مُتَابَعَةٌ, the inf. ns. of تَابَعَ,] i. q. وِلَاآءٌ [The making a consecution, or succession, of one to the other, بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ between two things, or affairs: and the making consecutive, successive, or uninterrupted, in its progressions, or gradations, or the like: see 6]. (S, K.) It is said in a trad., تَابِعُوا بَيْنَ الحَجِّ والعُمْرَةِ [ Make ye a consecution between the حجّ and the عمرة; meaning make ye the performance of the حجّ and that of the عمرة to be consecutive ]; (TA;) i. e. when ye perform the حجّ, then perform ye the عمرة; and when ye perform the عمرة, then perform ye the حجّ: or when ye perform either of these, then perform ye after it the other, without any length of time [ intervening ]: but the former [meaning] is the more obvious.

[See also a similar phrase in what here follows.] ― -b2- تابع القَوْسَ He pared, or trimmed, the bow well, giving to each part thereof what was its due. (K, TA.) Skr says that the phrase تُوبِعَ بَرْيُهَا, used by Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee in describing a bow, means The paring, or trimming, of which has been executed with uniformity, part after part. (TA.) ― -b3- Hence, (TA,) the saying of Abu-l-Wákid ElLeythee, (S, TA,) in a trad., (S,) تَابَعْنَا الأَعْمَالَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ شَيْئًا أَبْلَغَ فِى طَلَبِ الاآخِرَةِ مِنَ الزُّهْدِ فِى الدُّنْيَا (S, TA) (assumed tropical:) We have practised works with diligence, and acquired a sound knowledge of them, [ and we have not found anything more efficacious in the pursuit of the blessings of the world to come than abstinence in respect of the enjoyments of the present world. ] (S, * TA.)

4 اتبعهُ أتبع أتبعه اتبعه اتبعة تبع ٱتبع ٱتبعه : see 1, from the beginning nearly to the end. -A2- Also He made him to follow; or to overtake: (S, K:) he made him to be a follower: (Mgh, Msb:) or he urged him, or induced him, to be a follower. (Mgh.) You say, [making the verb doubly trans.,] أَتْبَعْتُهُمْ غَيْرِى [ I made them to follow, or overtake, another, not myself ]. (K.) And أَتْبَعْتُهُ الشَّىْءَ فَتَبِعَهُ [ I made him to follow, or overtake, the thing, and he followed it, or overtook it ]. (S.) And أَتْبَعْتُ زَيْدًا عَمْرًا I made Zeyd to be a follower of 'Amr: (Mgh, Msb:) or I urged, or induced, Zeyd to be a follower of 'Amr. (Mgh.)

[of the former] تَبِعَاتٌ and [of the latter] تِبَاعَاتٌ. (TA.)

Hence the saying in the Kur [xvii. 71], ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُوا لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ تَبِيعًا Then ye shall not find for you any to prosecute for blood-revenge, nor any to sue, against us therein: (Fr. S, K:) or ye shall not find for you any to sue us for the disallowing of what hath befallen you, nor for our averting it from you: (Zj:) [or any aider against us; for] تَبِيعٌ also signifies an aider; and especially against an enemy. (Lth, K.) ― -b3- See also تَابِعٌ, latter half.

(Lth.) In the Kur xliv. 36, it is said in a trad. to mean a particular king, who was a believer, and whose people were unbelievers.

A poet says, (S,) namely, Soadà El-Juhaneeyeh, (TA,) or Selmà El-Juhaneeyeh, (marginal note in a copy of the S,) bewailing her brother, As'ad, يَرِدُ المِيَاهُ حَضِيرَةٌ وَنَفِيضَةً وِرْدَ القَطَاةِ اـِذَا ا@سْمَأَلَّ التُّبَّعُ (S) [ He comes to the waters when people are dwelling, or staying, there, (but see حَضِيرَةٌ,) and when no one is there, as the bird called katáh comes to water ] when the shade has become contracted at mid-day: or, accord. to Aboo-Leylà, the meaning is, the shade of night; i. e., this man comes to the waters in the last part of the night, before any one: though it means also the shade of day-time: (TA:) or, accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed Ed- Dareer, the meaning here is [ the star, or asterism, called ] الدَّبَرَان; and this is very probably correct; for the bird above mentioned comes to the waters by night, and seldom by day; and hence the saying, أَدَلُّ مِنْ قَطَاةٍ. (Az, TA.) See تَابِعٌ. ― -b5- See also تِبْعٌ. ― -b6- مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ تُبَّعٍ هُوَ I know not who of men he is. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) ― -b7- تُبَّعٌ is also a pl. of تَابِعٌ [q. v.]. (TA.)

And it is said in the Kur [xiv. 24, and xl. 50], ↓ اـِنَّا كُنَّا لَكُمْ تَبَعًا [ Verily we were followers of you ]: (S, TA:) in which the last word may be a quasi-pl. n. of تَابِعٌ; or it may be an inf. n., meaning ذَوِى تَبَعٍ.

(TA.) ― -b3- A servant; as also ↓ تَبِيعٌ.
