(TA.) You say, جَآءَ يَدْبُرُهُمْ He came following them. (M, TA.) And دَبَرَنِى فُلَانٌ Such a one came after me, behind me, (T, A,) or following me nearly. (A.) And دَبَرَهُ, inf. n. دَبْرٌ, He succeeded him, and remained after him. (TA.) And قَبَحَ ا@للّٰهُ مَا قَبَلَ مِنْهُ وَ مَا دَبَرَ [May God curse the beginning of it and the end]. (S, A.) ― -b2- See also 4, in four places. ― -b3- دَبَرَ said of an arrow, (S, Msb,) or دَبَرَ الهَدَفَ, (M, A,) aor. دَبُخَ , (S, M, Msb,) inf. n. دُبُورٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and دَبْرٌ, (M, K,) It passed forth from the butt: (S, Msb:) or passed beyond the butt, (M, A, K,) and fell behind it.

(TA. [And ادبر (q. v.) has a similar, or the same, meaning.]) Hence, عَلَيْهِ الدَّبَارُ Perdition befall him; may he go away, turning the back, and not return. (M, TA.) ― -b6- And دَبَرَ (tropical:) He became an old man. (S, A, K.) Hence, as some say, the expression in the Kur [lxxiv. 36], وَا@للَّيْلُ إِِذَا دَبَرَ (tropical:) [And the night when it groweth old]. (TA. [See also 4.]) ― -b7- دَبَرَتِ الرِّيحُ, (S, M, A, K,) aor. دَبُخَ , inf. n. دُبُورٌ, (M,) The wind blew in the direction of that wind which is termed دَبُور [i. e. west, &c., which is regarded as the hinder quarter]: (M, A:) or changed, and came in that direction. (S, K.) [Hence,] دَبَرَتْ لَهُ الرِّيحُ بَعْدَ مَا أَقْبَلَتْ [lit.

(M.) [The inf. n. is explained in the K as syn. with اِكْتِتَابٌ.] -A5- دَبِرَ, (S, M, Mgh, K,) aor. دَبَخَ , (K,) inf. n. دَبَرٌ, (M, Mgh,) He (a horse or the like, M, K, and a camel, S, M, Mgh) had galls, or sores, on his back, (M, Mgh, K, * TA,) produced by the saddle and the like; (Mgh;) as also ↓ ادبر .
