جَنْبَةٌ جنب جنبه جنبة : see جَنْبٌ, in four places: ― -b2- and see جَانِبٌ. ― -b3- Also Retirement, or secession, from others: (K, TA:) and in a trad., in which it is enjoined, used as meaning retirement from women; avoiding the sitting by them, and the approaching the place that they occupy. (TA.) You say, رَجُلٌ ذُو جَنْبَةٍ A man of retirement. (TA.) And نَزَلَ جَنْبَةً He alighted, or descended and abode, or settled, in a place aside, or apart. (S, TA.) And قَعَدَ جَنْبَةً He [sat apart, or] retired from others. (A, TA.) ― -b4- The state of being a stranger; as also ↓ جَنَابَةٌ . (K. [Both are there mentioned as simple substs.; but the latter is an inf. n.: see جَنَبَ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ; and what next follows it: and see also 4.]) Both also signify Remoteness in respect of relationship. (TA.) -A2- Also, جَنْبَةٌ, A piece of skin from the side of a camel, (S, L, K, *) of which is made a kind of milking vessel (عُلْبَة), (S, L,) larger than the مِعْلَق, but smaller than the جَوْبَة. (L.) -A3- And Every kind of plant, (S,) or every kind of tree in general, (K,) that produces [new leaves such as are termed] رَبْل in the season of the صَيْف [which may mean either summer or spring]: (S, K:) or every kind of plant that produces leaves in that season without rain: (TA:) or a name given to many plants, all of them عُرُوق [perhaps meaning resembling roots, i. e. straggling, or spreading like roots]; so called because less than large trees and higher than those that have no root-stock (أَرُومَة) in the earth; comprising the نَصِىّ and صِلِّيَان and حَمَاط and مَكْر and حذر [so in the TA, but I do not find it elsewhere, and think it may be a mistranscription for حَزْر, of which حَزْرَة (the name of a certain sour tree) is probably the n. un.,] and دَهْمَآء; which are smaller than شَجَر and superior to بُقُول: all this has been heard from the Arabs: (T, TA:) or green and fresh صلّيان: (TA:) or what is [of a kind] between بَقْل and شَجَر; (AHn, K, TA;) being [in the TA وهما, but this is evidently a mistake for وَهِىَ,] of the kind of which the root remains in the winter while the branches perish: (AHn, TA:) or herbage of which the root is deep in the earth; such as the نَصِىّ and the صِلِّيَان. (TA voce خَضِرٌ.)
