طِبَابَةٌ ذ : see 1, latter half. -A2- Also A piece of skin with which the seams of a سِقَآء are covered, extending across, [so I render مُعْتَرِضَةٌ, app. meaning from side to side, for one edge of the skin beneath overlaps the other,] like the finger [in breadth], doubled [but see what is said below on the authority of AZ] over the place of the sewing: pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ طِبَابٌ : (As, S, TA:) or that which is put over the place where the two edges of the skin meet, when it is sewed, in the lower part of the قِرْبَة and of the سِقَآء and of the إِِدَاوَة: so says As: or, as also ↓ طِبَابٌ , the piece of skin that is put over the two edges of the skin, in these things, when it is laid flat and then sewed, without being doubled: (TA:) accord. to AZ, when the [piece of] skin, in the lower parts of these things, is doubled, and then sewed, it is called عِرَاقٌ; and when it is laid flat and then sewed, without being doubled, it is called ↓ طِبَابٌ : (TA; and the like is said in the S in art. عرق:) or طِبَابَةٌ and عِرَاقٌ both signify, accord. to As, a piece of skin with which the punctures of the seams are covered: (S in art. عرق:) or a طِبَابَة is a wide strip of skin, in which is the sewing: and the pl. [or coll. gen. n.] is ↓ طِبَابٌ : (M, TA:) or, accord. to the K, a strip of skin that is in the lower part of a قِرْبَة, between the two seams; as also ↓ طُبَّةٌ : but in this explanation, its author has confounded the words of Lth, who says that طِبَابَةٌ signifies the strip of the skin that is between the two seams; and ↓ طُبَّةٌ , the strip of skin that is in the lower part of the قِرْبَة, and that contracts the seams [so I render يقارب الخرز, but the meaning of this phrase is not, to me, clear]. (TA.) See also 1, last sentence. ― -b2- And see طِبَّةٌ, in two places. ― -b3- Also, and ↓ طِبَابٌ , (K, TA, in the CK طَباب and طَبابة,) [or the latter is a coll. gen. n.,] (assumed tropical:) A streak, or narrow elongated tract, of the sky: (K, TA:) [and app. any portion of the sky not of large extent:] an ex. of the latter word occurs in a verse cited voce مَرَاكِدُ: and in another verse, a man in a prison is described as seeing only a طِبَابَة of the sky like a shield; i. e. a round portion thereof. (Az, TA.)
