شُبّ ذ and دُبّ, though originally verbs, are used as nouns, by the introduction of مِنْ before them: one says, أَعْيَيْتَنِى مِنْ شُبَّ إِِلَى دُبَّ and مِنْ شُبّ ٍ إِِلَى دُبّ ٍ [expl. in art. دبَ]: (S:) and in like manner they are used in another saying expl. in art. دب [q. v.]: (S in that art.:) or, without tenween, they may be regarded as verbs used in the way of حِكَايَة [or imitation]. (MF.)
