طوب

طُوبٌ ذ Baked bricks; syn. آجُرٌّ: (S, O, Msb, K:) n. un. with ة: so says Az, and El-Fárábee says the like; and accord. to them it seems to be [genuine] Arabic: accord. to IDrd, it is of the dial. of Syria; but [Fei adds] I think it to be of the dial. of Room: (Msb:) or it is of the dial. of Egypt: (S, O:) [probably of Coptic origin. It is mentioned in the S and K in art. طيب.] أَوْبَةً وَطَوْبَةً ذ , [the latter word] meaning الطِّيبَ, [and both together A return and perfume,] is a phrase which one says to the person entering and to him coming [as though he who said this meant I experience a return that is to me like perfume]. (O.) طُوبَى ذ : see art. طيب. [ طَوَّابٌ ذ A baker of bricks: from طُوبٌ: mentioned by Golius, in art. طيب, as occurring in the Hist. Sar.: and it is used in this sense in the present day.]
