You say, لَيْسَ لَهُ مَرْبَِطُ عَنْزٍ [He has not so much as, or even, a place where a she-goat is tied]. Each is a noun of place used in a definite manner; so that you may not say, هُوَ مِنِّى مَرْبَطَ الفَرَسِ, like مَنَاطَ الثُّرَيَّا. (TA: [in which, however, the word مناط has been inadvertently omitted.])
2 [Also A place where soldiers tie their horses at the frontier in preparation for the enemy; or where they keep post on the frontier; as also مُرَابَطٌ . You say,] الغُزَاةُ فِى مَرَابِطِهِمْ and The warriors are in their places where they tie their horses at the frontier in preparation for the enemy; or where they keep post on the frontier.
