أَهْدَبُ A man having long, or large, eyelashes. Lth explains it by the words طَوِيلُ أَشْفَارِ العَيْنِ كَثِيرُهَا; [and J in a similar manner;] but Az disapproves of this expression, because اشفار العين signifies “ the edges of the eyelids, ” whence the eyelashes grow: أَهْدَبُ الأَشْفَارِ, and الاشفار, [the same;] having long eyelashes. عَيْنٌ هَدْبَاءُ An eye having long lashes.
