ضَيْهَبٌ

Root: ضهب

Full Definition

ضَيْهَبٌ i. q. صَيْهَبٌ, meaning A place where flesh-meat is roasted [on the ground heated by the sun]; (K; [in the CK, لِمَشْوِىِّ اللّحمِ is erroneously put for لِمَشْوَى اللَّحْمِ;]) accord. to Lth, any [high ground such as is called] قُفّ, or rugged ground, or place on a mountain, upon which the sun shines with such heat that flesh-meat will roast upon it: but Az says that what Lth means is صَيْهَبٌ only, with the unpointed ص; and if so, the meaning assigned here in the K is not correct.
