مَا بِالدَّارِ دِبِّيجٌ ما بالدار دبيج , (ISk, S, A,) or فِى الدَّارِ, (K,) (tropical:) There is not in the house any one: (ISk, S, A, K:) دِبِّيجٌ is not used otherwise than in a negative phrase: IJ derives it from دِيبَاجٌ; because men adorn the earth: (TA:) [Z says,] it is from دَبَجَ, like سِكِّيتٌ from سَكَتَ; because men adorn houses: (A:) Abu-l-'Abbás says that دِبِّيحٌ is more chaste than دِبِّيجٌ: (TA:) [ISk says, or J, for the passage is ambiguous,] A'Obeyd doubted respecting the ج and the ح; and I asked respecting this word, in the desert, a company of the Arabs thereof, and they said, مَا فِى الدَّارِ دِبِّىٌّ, and nothing more; but I have found in the handwriting of Aboo-Moosà El- Hámid, ما فى الدار دِبِّيجٌ, with ج, on the authority of Th: (S:) AM says that the ج in دِبِّيٌج is substituted for the [latter] ى in دِبِّىٌّ, in like manner as they say مُرِّىٌّ and مُرِّجٌّ &c. (TA.)
