طَبَعَI
, Present.T
ـَ Verbal.Noun طَبْعٌ, He sealed, stamped, imprinted, or impressed; syn. خَتَمَ: [and, as now used, he printed a book or the like:] تَبْعٌ and خَتْمٌ both signify the making an impression in, or upon, clay and the like: or, as Er-Rághib says, the impressing a thing with the engraving of the signet and stamp: (TA in this art. and in art. ختم: [see more in the first paragraph of the latter art:]) and he says also that طَبْعٌ signifies the figuring a thing with some particular figure; as in the case of the طَبْع of the die for stamping coins, and the طَبْع of coins [themselves]: but that it is more general in signification than
خَتْمٌ, and more particular than
نَقْشٌ; as will be shown by what follows: accord. to Aboo-Is-hák the Grammarian, طَبْعٌ and خَتْمٌ both signify the covering over a thing, and securing oneself from a thing's entering it: and IAth says [in like manner] that they held طَبْعٌ to be syn. with
رَيْنٌ [Verbal.Noun of رَانَ]: but Mujáhid says that رَيْنٌ denotes less than طَبْعٌ; and طَبْعٌ, less than إِقْفَالٌ [or the “ closing with a lock: ” this he says with reference to a phrase in the Kur xlvii. 26]. You say, طَبَعَ الكِتَابَ, and طَبَعَ عَلَى
الكِتَابِ, He sealed (خَتَمَ, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) the writing, or letter. And طَبَعَ
He branded, or otherwise marked, the sheep, or goat. (O. [See طَابَعٌ.]) And طَبَعَ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ
2 Also He began to make, or manufacture, a thing: and he made [a thing] as in instances here following. You say, طَبَعَ مِنَ الطِّينِ جَرَّةً He made, [or fashioned, or moulded,] of the clay, a jar. And طَبَعَ اللَّبِنَ, and السَّيْفَ, and الدِّرْهَمُ, He made [the crude bricks, and the sword, and the dirhem]: or طَبَعَ الدَّرَاهِمَ he struck with the die [i. e. coined, or minted,] the dirhems, or money. And [hence] one says, طَبَقَهُ ٱللّٰهُ عَلَى الأَمْرِ, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above,
3 Also, He filled a measure for corn or the like, or a leathern bucket, and a skin, &c.; and so طبّع , Verbal.Noun تَطْبِيعٌ: because the quantity that fills it is a sign that prevents the taking a portion of what is in it [without the act's being discovered].
4 And طَبَعَ قَفَاهُ, Verbal.Noun as above, He struck the back of his neck with his hand; i. e. the back of the neck of a boy: if with the ends of the fingers, one says, قَذَّ قَفَاهُ.

(K, TA: from an explanation of the Present.T: but this is written in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, and in the O, يُطْبَعُ.
