It is said of ' Áïsheh, in a trad., كَانَتْ تَحْتَ الدِرْعِ فِى الصَّلَاةِ She used to bind the إِزَار [or waist-wrapper], and make it fast, beneath the shift, in prayer; from حُبْكَةٌ, q. v.: or كَانَتْ فِى الصَّلَاةِ بِإِزَارٍ فَوْقَ القَمِيصِ she used, in prayer, to bind an ازار over the shirt. [It is said that] is also syn. with اِحْتِبَآءٌ, on the authority of As: [i. e., that] احتبك is syn. with احتبى: [and that] احتبك بِإِزَارِهِ signifies احتبى, or احتبى بِهِ وَ شَدَّهُ إِلَى يَدَيْهِ: so says Aboo-' Obeyd, as on the authority of As: but Az says that this is a mistake: that what As said was, that الاحتياك, with ى, is syn. with الاحتباء, as ISk relates. One says also, حَبَكْتُ الحَظِيرَةَ بِقَصَبَاتِ كَمَ تُحْبَكُ عُرُوشُ الكَرْمِ بِالحِبَالِ [I bound the enclosure for cattle with canes, or reeds, (or perhaps we should read بِقُضْبَانٍ, i. e. with twigs,) like as the trellises of the grape-vine are bound with cords: see also the last sentence of this paragraph].
2 [In the present day, حَبَكَ also signifies He sewed the leaves of a book: and he bound a book.]
