Parallel reading

النخروب بالضم، وأطلقه اعتمادا على أنه ليس لنا فعلول بالفتح ورجح آخرون الفتح بناء على زيادة النون، فوزنه نفعول، قال ابن الأعرابي: نون النخاريب زائدة، لأنه من الخراب

An-nakhrūb (with dammah), and he used it generally, relying on the fact that we do not have a fa'lūl pattern with fatḥah, while others preferred fatḥah based on the addition of the nūn, making its pattern naf'ūl. Ibn al-A'rābī said: The nūn of an-nakhārīb is extra, because it is from al-kharāb.

قال أبو حيان: وأما نخربوت للناقة الفارهة، فقيل: نونه زائدة، وأصوله: الخاء والراء والباء، وليس بظاهر الاشتقاق من الخراب، فينبغي أصالة نونه، كعنكبوت، في قول سيبويه، قاله شيخنا.

Abū Ḥayyān said: As for nakhribūt for the plump she-camel, it is said its nūn is extra, and its roots are khā', rā', and bā'. It is not apparent in its derivation from al-kharāb, so its nūn should be original, like 'ankabūt, according to Sībawayh, as stated by our shaykh.

وقد مر ذكر تخربوت بالفوقية والكلام فيه.

The mention of takhrabūt (with the upper dot) has already passed, and the discussion about it.

(الشق في الحجر)، واحد النخاريب.

(The crack in the stone), the singular of an-nakhārīb.

(و) كذالك: (الثقب في كل شيء) نخروب.

(And) likewise: (the hole in everything) is nakhroub.

(والنخاريب) أيضا: (الثقب المهيأة من الشمع. لتمج النحل العسل فيها)، تقول: إنه لأضيق من النخروب.

(And an-nakhārīb) also: (the holes prepared from wax for the bees to store honey in). You say: 'It is narrower than an-nakhroub.'

(ونخرب القادح الشجرة: ثقبها)، وجعله ابن جني ثلاثيا من الخراب.

(And the borer perforated the tree: it pierced it), and Ibn Jinnī considered it triliteral from al-kharāb.

وفي لسان العرب: النخارب: خروق كبيوت الزنابير، واحدها: نخروب.

And in Lisān al-'Arab: An-nakhārib: are holes like wasp nests, the singular of which is nakhroub.

(وشجرة منخربة) بكسر الراء، (ومنخربة) بفتحها: إذا (بليت وصارت فيها نخاريب)، أي: شقوق، نقله الصاغاني.

(And a tree mungharibah) with kasrah on the rā', (and mungharibah) with fatḥah: if it (has decayed and developed cracks), meaning fissures, as reported by al-Ṣāghānī.
