سَلِيبٌ

Full Definition

سَلِيبٌ i. q. مَسْلُوبٌ [as meaning Seized, or carried off, by force:
2 and more commonly spoiled, despoiled, plundered, or deprived of what was upon one or with one]: as also سَلَبٌ [but app. in the former sense only]. [Hence] one says شَجَرَةٌ سَلِيبٌ A tree despoiled, or deprived, of its leaves and its branches: or of which the leaves and fruit have been taken: pl. سُلُبٌ, as in the phrases نَخْلٌ سُلُبٌ palm-trees upon which is no fruit, and شَجَرٌ سُلُبٌ trees upon which are no leaves; the sing. being of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: and one says also شَجَرَةٌ سُلُبٌ , [using سُلُبٌ as a sing., like other words of the same measure mentioned in what follows,] meaning a tree of which the leaves have become scattered, or strewn. And سَلِيبٌ is applied to a woman as meaning Whose husband has died, or her loved and loving relation or friend, and who puts on the black garments of mourning for him; as also مُسَلِّبٌ and سَلُوبٌ : or مُسَلِّبٌ , so applied, signifies [simply] putting on, or wearing, the black garments of mourning. (M. [See an ex. of this last word with the affix ة, used as a pl., in a verse cited voce خَطْبٌ; and an ex. of its pl., مُسَلِّبَات, in a verse cited voce ثَدْىُ.]) Also, applied, to a she-camel, and so سَالِبٌ and سَلُوبٌ and مُسْلِبٌ , the last in one instance in the copies of the K erroneously written مُسَلِّبٌ, and سُلُبٌ , with damm to the first and second letters, [in the CK سُلْبٌ, and said to be with damm,] or سَلُوبٌ thus applied, and سِلَابٌ , Whose young has died: or that has cast her young one in an imperfect state: (S, M, K: and in this latter sense, as applied to a she-camel, مُسْلِبٌ is particularly mentioned in the M:) and in like manner applied to a woman: the pl. (of سَلُوبٌ, S, M, or سِلَابٌ, M) is سُلُبٌ (S, M, K, TA, in the last expressly stated to be like كُتُبٌ, but in the CK سُلْبٌ,) and سَلَائِبُ: and sometimes they said اِمْرَأَةٌ سُلُبٌ , like نَاقَةٌ عُلُطٌ and فَرَسٌ فُرُطٌ, and numerous other instances that have been enumerated by A'Obeyd, in which words of the measure فُعُلٌ, without ة, are used as fem. epithets: or سَلُوبٌ signifies a she-camel whose young one has been taken; and its pl. is سَلَائِبُ; and, applied to a she-camel, it signifies also اَلَّتِى يُرْمَى وَلَدُهَا [which may mean whose young one is cast abortively; or cast away because abortive; or cast at, or shot at, and killed]: and is also applied to a she-gazelle, as meaning despoiled, or deprived, of her young one: and so سَالِبٌ . Applied to a man, it signifies also العَقْلِ [Despoiled, or deprived, of reason]; and you say [also] العَقْلِ, [perhaps a mistranscription for , see 1,] a tropical expression: pl. سَلْبَى.
