سَكُوبٌ , water running upon the surface of the earth without any excavation: and
أُسْكُوبٌ , water pouring out or forth, or being poured out or forth; or, as some say, pouring much: and also this last, running water: or this signifies دَائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ [i. e. continually pouring, or continually pouring dispersedly and in large drops; as also سَكْبٌ; for hence it appears evident that الهَطَلَانُ الدَّائِمُ as an explanation of السَّكْبُ and الأُسْكُوبُ in the K is a mistake for الدَّائِمُ الهَطَلَانِ]; and is applied as an epithet to water and to blood; and also [probably in this sense] to clouds (سَحَابٌ); and to a wound made with a spear or the like (طَعْنَةٌ): and ↓سَاكِبٌ is applied as an epithet to tears (دَمْعٌ).
