ذَرْبٌ

Root: ذرب

Full Definition

ذَرْبٌ , or ذَرِبٌ , (so accord. to the TA, [which is followed by the TK, and so in my MS copy of the K, but altered from ذَرْبٌ, which I incline to think the right reading,]) A shoemaker's إِزْمِيل [a word well known as signifying his knife, with which he cuts the leather, but here explained in the TA as signifying his إِشْفَى with which he sews].
