(A.) ― -b2- ذَرِبَ لِسَانُهُ, aor. as above, [and so the inf. n.], His tongue was, or became, sharp [properly speaking, i. e. sharp in the extremity: (see ذَرِبٌ:) and also tropically, i. e., in a good sense, as meaning (assumed tropical:) chaste, or eloquent; without barbarousness, or vitiousness, or impediment: and in a bad sense, as meaning (assumed tropical:) profuse of speech; or clamorous: bad, or corrupt: foul, unseemly, or obscene]: he cared not what he said. (TA.) [For] ذَرَبٌ (S, M, A, TA) and ذَرَابَةٌ (S, A, TA) signify Sharpness of the tongue [properly speaking, or, as is said in the A, tropically]: (S, M, A, TA:) and the former, (TA,) or the latter, (Msb,) [or each.] metaphorically, (TA,) (tropical:) chasteness, or eloquence, thereof; (Msb, TA;) without barbarousness, or vitiousness, or impediment; a quality approved: and (tropical:) profuseness, or clamorousness, thereof; a quality disapproved: (TA:) and the former, [or each,] (assumed tropical:) badness, or corruptness, thereof: (M, K:) and the former, (AZ, S, M, K,) or the latter, (Msb,) or each, (A,) (tropical:) foulness, or obscenity, thereof: (AZ, S, M, A, Msb, K:) and the pl. of the former [used as a simple subst.] is أَذْرَابٌ.

وَ عَرَفْتُ مَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الأَذْرَابِ
” (tropical:) [And I have borne with you not withstanding your vices and evil actions, and have known what is in you of foul, or obscene, qualities of the tongue]; (AZ, S:) [or] على بُلَلَاتِكُمْ (IAar, M, TA) means notwithstanding what is in you of annoyance and enmity: (TA:) but accord. to Th, he said, الأَعْيَابِ, pl. of عَيْبٌ.
