طَبْنٌ ذ A numerous collection or body (K, TA) of men; (TA;) as also ↓ طَبَنٌ . (K, TA. [Freytag adds طِبْنٌ and طُبْنٌ in this sense; but they are mentioned in the K as syns. of طَبْنٌ meaning a certain game: and Golius adds, instead of these two, طِبِنٌ and طُبُنٌ, which are altogether wrong.]) ― -b2- And one says, مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ الطَّبْنِ هُوَ, (S, K, *) meaning أَىُّ النَّاسِ هُوَ [i. e. I know not what one of mankind he is]: (S, K:) and so أَىُّ الطَّبْلِ هُوَ. (S and O in art. طبل.) -A2- Also, [and it is implied in the K that the following explanation applies likewise to ↓ طُبْنٌ and ↓ طِبْنٌ and ↓ طُبَنٌ , but the TA restricts it to طَبْنٌ,] A carcass which is placed for the purpose of capturing upon it the vultures and beasts of prey. (K, TA. [Freytag assigns this meaning to طُبَنٌ only.]) -A3- See also طُبْنَةٌ.
