1 سَكَبَ ذ , (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. سَكُبَ , (A, TA,) inf. n. سُكُوبٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and سَكْبٌ (Msb) and تَسْكَابٌ, (S, [this last assigned in the K to the trans. verb,]) said of water, (S, A, Msb, K,) and a flow of tears (دَمْع), (A, TA,) and the like, (TA,) It poured out or forth; or was, or became, poured out or forth; (S, A, Msb, K;) as also ↓ انسكب . (S, K.) -A2- And سَكَبَهُ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (A, TA,) inf. n. سَكْبٌ (S, Mgh, K) and تَسْكَابٌ, (K, [the latter assigned in the S to the intrans. verb,]) He poured it out or forth; namely, water, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) and a flow of tears, (A, TA,) and the like; (TA;) as also ↓ اسكبهُ . (A.) The people of El-Medeeneh say, اُسْكُبْ عَلَى يَد َىَّ Pour thou out, or forth, upon my hands. (A.) And it is said in a trad., هَاهُنَا تُسْكَبُ العَبَرَاتُ [Here tears are to be poured forth], meaning this is the place in which one should weep, seeking forgiveness. (Mgh.) 4 أَسْكَبَ see the next preceding paragraph. 7 إِِنْسَكَبَ see the next preceding paragraph. سَكْبٌ ذ and ↓ سَاكِبٌ and ↓ سَكُوبٌ and ↓ سَيْكَبٌ (K) and ↓ سَكِيبٌ (CK [omitted in the TA and in my MS. copy of the K]) and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ (K) Water poured out or forth, or being poured out or forth: or poured out or forth, (K, TA,) running upon the surface of the earth without any excavation: (TA:) or the first signifies water poured out or forth; and is an inf. n. used as an epithet, like صَبٌّ and غَوْرٌ applied as epithets to water: and ↓ سَكُوبٌ , water running upon the surface of the earth without any excavation: and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ , water pouring out or forth, or being poured out or forth; (S;) or, as some say, pouring much: (Har pp. 469 et seq.:) and also this last, running water: (TA:) or this signifies دَائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ [i. e. continually pouring, or continually pouring dispersedly and in large drops; as also سَكْبٌ; for hence it appears evident that الهَطَلَانُ الدَّائِمُ as an explanation of السَّكْبُ and الأُسْكُوبُ in the K is a mistake for الدَّائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ]; and is applied as an epithet to water and to blood; (A;) and also [probably in this sense] to clouds (سَحَابٌ); and to a wound made with a spear or the like (طَعْنَةٌ): and ↓سَاكِبٌ is applied as an epithet to tears (دَمْعٌ). (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence] سَكْبٌ applied to a horse means (tropical:) Wide in step: (S, A, K:) or fleet, or swift, or excellent in running; (A, K;) that runs much: (Mgh, TA:) or light, or active: and ↓ أُسْكُوبٌ , so applied, has one or another of these meanings: (A:) or the former, thus applied, that runs vehemently; as also فَيْضٌ; likened to water pouring forth: (EthThaalebee, TA:) also, (K, TA,) applied to a horse and a man and a boy, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) light of spirit; and brisk, lively, or sprightly, (K, TA,) in work, or action. (TA.) السَّكْبُ was the name of the first horse possessed by the Prophet; (Mgh, * K;) as also ↓ السَّكَبُ : and the name of a horse of Shebeeb Ibn-Mo'áwiyeh. (K.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] (assumed tropical:) A certain sort of clothes, or garments, (T, S, K,) thin so as to resemble dust, and as though resembling pouring water by reason of its thinness; and so, accord. to IAar, ↓سَكَبٌ. (T, TA.) ― -b4- Applied to a man, (assumed tropical:) Tall; (K;) a dial. var. of سَقْبٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) ― -b5- And (tropical:) A necessary thing or affair: (A, K, TA:) and (tropical:) a disgrace (سُبَّةٌ) that is necessary, or unavoidable. (A, TA.) Lakeet Ibn-Zurárah said to his brother Maabad, when he required him to ransom him with two hundred camels, he being a captive, نُمِيطُ عَنْكَ شَيْئًا يَكُونُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ سُبَّةً سَكْبًا, meaning (tropical:) [We will put away from thee a thing that would be to the people of thy house] a necessary, or an unavoidable, disgrace. (TA.) -A2- Also Copper, or brass; syn. نُحَاسٌ: or lead: (IAar, K:) and so ↓ سَكَبٌ , (K,) in the latter sense, or in both senses, or in all the senses. (TA.) سَكَبٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph, latter half, in three places. -A2- Also A certain kind of tree, (S, K,) of sweet odour, (S,) as though its odour were that of [the perfume called] خَلُوق [q. v.], growing apart from others, upon a single root, having a downy substance, and leaves like those of the صَعْتَر [a species of origanum, or marjoram], except in being more green: it grows in the plains and the valleys; and what has dried up thereof is of no use to any one: it has a fruit which is eaten, and the people of El-Hijáz make of it a [beverage such as is termed] نَبِيذ: its fruit does not grow forth in one year, but only in several years: AHn says that the سَكَب is a herb that rises to the height of a cubit, having dustcoloured leaves like those of the هِنْدَبَآء [or endive], and a blossom intensely white, of the form of that of the فِرْسِك [i. e. peach, or a species or variety thereof]: (TA:) n. un. with ة: (S, TA:) As mentions the سَكَب as one of the plants of the plain, or soft, tracts. (TA.) ― -b2- It is also said to be The [plant called] ريح [app. رَيِّح or رِيح which seem to be coll. gen. ns. of each of which the n. un. is with ة (see رَيِّحَةٌ)], having a yellow blossom. (TA.) ― -b3- And The anemone (شَقَائِقُ النُّعْمَانِ). (K.) ― -b4- And One of the trees of the hot season. (TA.) سَكَابٌ ذ and سَكَابِ, the latter [indecl., with kesr for its termination,] like قَطَامِ, and ↓ سَكَّابٌ , [all app. meaning The fleet, or swift, like السَّكْبُ and الأُسْكُوبُ,] are names of certain horses. (K: the second only mentioned in the S.) سَكُوبٌ ذ : see سَكْبٌ, in two places. سَكِيبٌ ذ : see سَكْبٌ. سَكَّابٌ ذ : see سَكَابٌ. سَاكِبٌ ذ : see سَكْبٌ, in two places. -A2- [And act. part. n. of سَكَبَهُ. Hence,] سَاكِبُ المَآءِ (assumed tropical:) [The sign of Aquarius;] the eleventh of the signs of the Zodiac; also called الدَّلْوُ. (Kzw.) سَيْكَبٌ ذ : see سَكْبٌ أُسْكُبَّةٌ ذ The أُسْكُفَّة [i. e. threshold] of a door. (K.) إِِسْكَابٌ ذ : see the next paragraph. أُسْكُوبٌ ذ : see سَكْبٌ, in three places. ― -b2- Also Lightning extending towards the earth. (K.) So in the saying of Zuheyr El-Mázinee, “ بَرْقٌ يُضِىْءُ أَمَامَ البَيْتِ أُسْكُوبُ
” [Lightning shining, or shining brightly, before the tent, or house, extending towards the earth]; as though it were pouring forth rain. (TA.) ― -b3- And A row of palm-trees; (IAar, K;) as also أُسْلُوبٌ: if of other than palm-trees, it is termed أُنْبُوبٌ, and مِدَادٌ. (IAar, TA.) -A2- Also i. q. إِِسْكَافٌ [A maker of shoes or boots, or a sewer of leather, &c.]; like ↓ إِِسْكَابٌ : or a blacksmith. (K.) المِسْكَبَةُ ذ [altered in a copy of the A from المَسْكَبَةُ, which may perhaps be the right word,] The higher, or highest, rivulet, or small channel for irrigation, from which the other rivulets, or small channels, are supplied with water. (A.) ― -b2- [In a copy of the A (in art. سطب), المَسْطَبَة, which I believe to be in that instance a mistranscription for المسكبة, occurs expl. as meaning (assumed tropical:) The Milky Way.]
