بَنْ بان بن بنن is a dial. var. of بَلْ, (M, K,) and so is لَا بَنْ of لَا بَلْ; or, as some say, formed by substitution [of ن for ل; not peculiar to any dialect]. (M.) One says, بَنْ وَا@للّٰهِ لَا آتِيكَ [Nay, by God, I will not come to thee]: Fr says that it is of the dial. of Benoo-Saad and Kelb; and that he had heard the Báhilees say, لَا بَنْ, meaning بَلْ [or لَا بَلْ]: but IJ says, I do not trace up بَنْ [to any authority] as being an independent word of a particular dialect. (TA.) -A2- [بْنُ and بْنِ and بْنَ, for ا@بْنُ &c.: see art. بنى.]
