(TA.) [And وِرْدُ الغِبِّ signifies The coming of camels to the water in the second of two nights (as is shown by the context of a passage in which it occurs in the S and O and K voce طَلَقٌ), or in the second of two days.] But the saying of a rájiz, “ وَحُمَّرَاتٌ شُرْبُهُنَّ غِبُّ

(IAth.) One says, زُرْ غِبًّا تَزْدَدْ حُبًّا [or, accord. to common usage, حِبًّا, to assimilate it to غِبًّا, Visit once a week, or at intervals of some days; not frequently, or not every day: so thou shalt have more love: a prov., respecting which see Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 587; where غُبًّا is put for غِبًّا]. (S, O.) [See another ex. voce تَرَجَّلَ, last sentence.] The saying of Zeyd-el-Fawáris “ يَرَانِى العَدُوُّ بَعْدَ غِبِّ لِقَائِهِ
” means [The enemy will see me] after the day of meeting with him by a day.

(S, O, Msb.) ― -b5- And A tertian fever; that attacks one day and intermits one day: (K, TA:) you say حُمَّى غِبٌّ [a tertian fever]; using it as an epithet: (TA:) and حُمَّى الغِبِّ. (Msb in art. ثلث.) ― -b6- And The end; conclusion; latter, or last, part or state; issue; or result; syn. عَاقِبَةٌ, (S, A, MA, O, Msb, K,) and آخِرٌ; (S, * O, * TA;) of an affair, (S, A, O, Msb,) of any kind, (S, O,) or of a thing; (K;) as also ↓ مَغَبَّةٌ , (MA, O, Msb, K,) and ↓ مِغَبٌّ .
