1 حَابَ حاب , (Msb, K,) sec. pers. حُبْتُ, (S,) aor. يَحُوبُ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. حَوْبٌ (S, Msb, K) and حَوْبَةٌ and حِيَابَةٌ, (S, K, accord. to one copy of the K حِيَابٌ,) and حِيبَةٌ (TA) and حُوبٌ; (K;) or this last is a simple subst.; or, as some say, it and حَوْبٌ are two dial. vars.; that with damm, of the dial. of El-Hijáz; and that with fet-h, of the dial. of Temeem; (Msb;) accord. to Zj, that with damm signifies “ sin, or crime; ” and that with fet-h, the “ act ” of a man; [i. e. the “ act of committing a sin, or crime; ”] (TA;) He sinned; committed a sin, or crime; did what was unlawful; (S, Msb, K;) بِكَذَا [by such a thing]. (S, K.) ― -b2- Also, aor. as above, [inf. n. not mentioned,] He, or it, became in an evil condition, or state. (TA.) ― -b3- He slew [another]: of the dial. of the tribe of Asad. (TA.) -A2- حَوْبٌ also signifies The act of chiding a male camel [by the cry حَوْبِ]. (Lth, TA.) [See also 2.] 2 حوّب بِالإِِبِلِ حوب بالابل , (S, K, *) inf. n. تَحْوِيبٌ, (K,) He chid the camels (S, K) by the cry حَوْبِ حَوْبِ. (S.)

(K, TA.) -A2- مَا أَحَبْتُهُ for مَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ: see 4 in art. حب. 5 تحوّب تحوب He abstained from, shunned, or avoided, sin, or crime; put it away from himself: (A 'Obeyd, S, K, TA:) he applied himself to acts, or exercises, of devotion; became devout, or a devotee. (IJ, TA.) Here the form تَفَعَّلَ is deprived of the radical signification, as in the cases of the syn. words تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ; though its property is oftener to confirm the radical signification. (TA. [See تحنّث.]) You say, تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He abstained from such a thing as a sin, or crime. (A 'Obeyd, S, TA. [See also another explanation below.]) ― -b2- He humbled himself in his prayer, or supplication. (TA.) ― -b3- He expressed pain, grief, or sorrow; lamented, or complained. (S, K, * TA.) And تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He was enraged, and expressed pain or grief or sorrow, or lamented, or complained, by reason of such a thing. (TA. [See another explanation above.]) ― -b4- He cried out, expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining: he cried aloud, or vehemently, in prayer, or supplication. (TA.) He wept, in impatience, or sorrow, and with loud crying: and sometimes, in a general sense, he cried out, or aloud, (TA.) ― -b5- He (a jackal) cried, or howled: because his cry is like that of a person expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining, as though he were writhing from the pain of hunger or beating. (S, TA.) حَبْ حب and حَبٍ: see حَوْبٍ, in five places. حَابْ حاب and حَابِ: see حَوْبِ, in five places. حَابٌ حاب : see حُوبٌ. حَوْبِ حوب and حَوْبُ and حَوْبَ (S, K) and ↓ حَابِ (K) A cry used for chiding a camel: (S:) or a cry by which a male camel is chidden, (Lth, IAth, K,) to urge him on; (Lth, TA;) like as a she-camel is by the cry حَلْ and حَلِ and حَلِى: the first form (حَوْبِ) is that used by the Arabs [in general]; but the other forms are allowable: حَوْبْ حَوْبْ also occurs, with the ب quiescent; and حَوْبًا حَوْبًا occurs in a trad., in the same sense: also, لَا مَشَيْتُحَبْ and ↓ حَبِ and ↓ حَابْ and ↓ حَابِ [On! mayest thou not walk, or mayest thou not be rightly directed; حب &c. being syn. with حَوْبِ, and followed by an imprecation]. (TA.) Hence, حَوْبَكَ هَلْ يُعْتَمُ بِالسَّمَارِ Urge on!

(TA.) -A4- A kind, or sort: and a mode, or manner. (K, TA.) You say, سَمِعْتُ مِنْ هٰذَا حَوْبَيْنِ I heard, or have heard, of this, two kinds, or modes: and رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ حَوْبَيْنِ I saw, or have seen, of it, two kinds, or modes. (TA.) -A5- A he-camel: (K:) or a bulky he-camel: so called from the cry حَوْبِ, by which he is urged; like as a mule is called عَدَسٌ: (Lth, TA:) or it signifies originally a he-camel, and hence, from its frequency of usage, the cry حوب by which he is urged. (K, * TA.) حُوبٌ حوب (S, A, Msb, K) and ↓ حَوْبٌ , (Msb, * K,) said by some to be two dial. vars., (Msb, [see 1, first sentence,]) and ↓ حَابٌ (S, K) and ↓ حَوْبَةٌ (A 'Obeyd, K) and ↓ حُوبَةٌ (A 'Obeyd, TA) and ↓ حَابَةٌ (K) and ↓ حِيبَةٌ , (TA,) Sin, or crime: or a sin, or a crime: (S, A, Msb, K:) accord. to A 'Obeyd, the first and second signify any sin or crime; (TA;) [as also, app., حَابٌ;] and حوبة [i. e. حَوْبَةٌ and حُوبَةٌ, the former particularly mentioned in the Msb, and app. حَابَةٌ also], a single sin or crime: (Msb, TA:) accord. to Fr, حُوبٌ signifies great sin, or a great sin: accord. to Katádeh, wrong, injustice, or tyranny: thus in the Kur iv. 2; where El-Hasan read ↓ حَوْبًا instead of حُوبًا. (TA.) One says, رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِىوَا@غْسِلْ حَوْبَتِى (T, TA) i. e. [O my Lord, accept my repentance, and wash away] my sin, or crime. (A 'Obeyd, TA.) El-Mukhabbal Es-Saadee says, “ ↓ فَلَا تُدْخِلَنَّ الدَّهْرَ قَبْرَكَ حَوْبَةً
يَقُومُ بِهَا يَوْمًا عَلَيْكِ حَسِيبُ
” [Then introduce not thou, ever, into thy grave, a sin with which a reckoner, or taker of vengeance, may one day rise up against thee]. (TA.) -A2- حُوبٌ also signifies Perdition, destruction, or death. (K.) [Hence, app.,] اِبْنَةُ حوبٍ A quiver; syn. كِنَانَةٌ. (TA. [The vowel of the ح is not indicated.]) ― -b2- Disease.

[And hence,] ↓ اِبْنُ حَوْبٍ A man oppressed by difficulty, trouble, distress, or adversity; a man in need: i. e. any man in such a state. (IAar, TA.) And ↓ عِيَالُ ا@بْنِ حَوْبٍ [The family of a man oppressed by difficulty, &c.].
