غَبُوقٌ ذ An evening-draught; i. e. a draught, drink, or potation, [and particularly of milk, but also applied to one of water, and of wine, &c.,] that is drunk in the evening, or the last, or latter, part of the day. (S, O, K. [See also صَبُوحٌ.]) See an ex. in a verse of Khuzaz Ibn-Lowdhán cited voce كَذَبَ. One of the Arabs said to a companion of his, إِِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِبًا فَشَرِبْتَ غَبُوقًا بَارِدًا [If thou be tying, then mayest thou drink a cold evening-draught]; meaning, may there not be milk for thee, so that thou shalt drink water not mixed with anything; this being called by him غبوق by way of comparison: or meaning, may that be to thee in the place of غبوق. (TA.) And one says, لَقَيتُهُ ذَا غَبُوقٍ [lit. I met him at a time of drinking the evening-draught], meaning, in the evening; a phrase used only adverbially; like ذَا صَبُوحٍ: (TA:) and ذَاتَ الغَبُوقِ [which has a similar meaning]. (T in art. ذُو.) ― -b2- Also, and with ة, A she-camel whose milk one drinks in the evening: or, accord. to Lh, that is milked after sunset: epithets like صَبُوحٌ and صَبُوحَةٌ. (TA.)
