def.2 Also His camels brought forth males; because the males that they produce are driven, or brought, from one place to another, and sold; opposed to احلب “ his camels brought forth females: ” and his camel brought forth a male. أَجْلَبْتَ وَلَا أَحْلَبْتَ May thy camels bring forth males, and may they not bring forth females, is a form of imprecation against a man, implying a wish that he may lose the milk [that he would have otherwise].
def.3 He aided, helped, or assisted, another. [So, too, احلب.]
def.4 He put an amulet into a جُلْبَة [which must therefore signify the piece of skin in which an amulet is enclosed, as well as an amulet enclosed in a piece of skin: see مُجْلِبٌ].
2 اجلب قَتَبَهُ, Verbal.Noun إِجْلابٌ, He covered his قتب [or camel's saddle] with a جُلْبَة, i. e., with a piece of fresh, moist skin, which he left upon it until it became dry [and tight]: or he covered the head of his قتب with a piece of kid's, or lamb's, skin, and left it to dry upon it.
