1 صَرَبَ ذ He made the sour milk termed صَرْب: (K, * TA:) [or] صَرَبَ اللَّبَنَ, (M, TA,) aor. صَرِبَ , (M,) or صَرُبَ , (TA,) inf. n. صَرْبٌ, he made the milk to become what is termed صَرْب: and he milked some of the milk upon other milk, and left it to become sour: (M, TA:) or صَرَبَ اللَّبَنَ فِى الوَطْبِ he collected the milk in the skin, portion after portion, and left it to become sour; as also ↓ اِصْطَرَبَهُ : (S:) or you say, صَرَبَ اللَّبَنَ فِى السِّقَآءِ and السَّمْنَ فِى النِّحْىِ [he collected, portion after portion, and left, the milk in the skin called سِقَآء and the clarified butter in the skin called نِحْى]. (M, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] صَرَبْتُ اللَّبَنَ فِى الضَّرْعِ (assumed tropical:) I caused the milk to collect in the udder, not drawing it forth. (Kt, TA.) ― -b3- And صَرَبَ (assumed tropical:) He kept in, or retained, and collected, [his] urine: (K, TA:) or withheld it long: and accord. to some, particularly said of a stallion-camel: (TA:) [or] صَرَبَ بَوْلَهُ, (S, M,) aor. صَرُبَ and صَرِبَ , inf. n. صَرْبٌ, (M,) (assumed tropical:) he kept in, or retained, and collected, his urine: (S, M:) accord. to some, particularly said of a stallion-camel. (M.) ― -b4- And صَرَبَ الصَّبِىُّ [ذَا بَطْنِهِ being app. understood] (assumed tropical:) The boy remained some days without discharging his excrement, or ordure: (M, TA:) and صَرَبَ بَطْنُ الصَّبِىِّ, inf. n. صَرْبٌ, (assumed tropical:) the boy's belly became constipated (عَقَدَ), that he might become fat: (M:) [or] صَرَبَ الصَّبِىُّ لِيَسْمَنَ (assumed tropical:) the boy's excrement, or ordure, (ذُو بَطْنِهِ,) became confined, so that he remained a day without discharging it, when he was about to become fat. (S.) [In the copies of the K, صَرَبَ is expl. as signifying عَقَدَ بَطْنَ الصَّبِىِّ لِيَسْمَنَ, to which, written without the syll. signs, the TA assigns the last of the meanings above; therefore, I doubt not, the right reading is بَطْنُ, agreeably with the explanation of صَرَبَ بَطْنُ الصَّبِىِّ in the M, given above: otherwise, the meaning must be (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused the boy's belly to become bound, or constipated, that he might become fat.] -A2- صَرِبَ, aor. صَرَبَ , (K, TA,) inf. n. صَرَبٌ, (TK,) said of milk, (TA,) It became collected (K, TA) in the udder.
