Full Definition
خِبَّةٌ
and
خُبَّةٌ and
خَبَّةٌ
A narrow tract, or streak, of sand; [in one copy of the A, I find خِبَّةٌ and خَبِيبَةٌ thus explained; but in another, مَخَبَّةٌ is written in the place of the former of these two words;] or of clouds; as also
خَبِيبَةٌ : or, of sand, what resembles a
فَالِق [or depressed tract between two hills], except in its being wider and more spreading, and not having abrupt sides; so says AHn in explaining خبّة [thus in the TA] and
خَبِيبَةٌ : or all three signify a piece of rag like a fillet; as also
خَبِيبَةٌ and
خُبٌّ : or the last two (خبيبة and خبّ) signify a piece of rag from a garment, with which one binds his arm or hand. [Hence,)
ثَوْبٌ , [like أَهْبَابٌ,] and ثوب خِبَبٌ, like هِبَبٌ, and
ثوب , like هَبَائِبُ; [the latter word in the first of these phrases being pl. of خُبٌّ; that in the second, pl. of خِبّةٌ; and that in the third, pl. of خَبِيبَةٌ;] A garment, or piece of cloth, rent in pieces, ragged, or tattered. [See also خَبِيبَةٌ, below.] It is also said that the خِبَّة of a garment, or piece of cloth, is [A portion thereof] like the
طُرَّة [q. v.]: and accord. to Sh, the خُبَّة thereof is its طُرَّة. And خبّة [so in the TA] signifies A piece of rag which a woman wears, covering her head with it: erroneously written by Lth حنّة.
2 Also, i. e. خِبَّةٌ and its two vars., and خَبِيبَةٌ , of which the pl. is خَبَائِبُ, A streak of the flesh appearing in the skin, occasioned by the loss of flesh.
