مُوبِئٌ
Root: وبأ
Full Definition
2 جُرْعَةَ شَرُوبٍ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ عَذْبٍ مُوبٍ A draught of brackish water is more profitable than sweet water that engenders وَبَأ. Here the ـُ is omitted in the last word to assimilate it to شروب. It is a proverb, applied to two men; one, superior in station, and more slim; the other, inferior in station, but more useful.
3 See أَرْضٌ وَبِئَةٌ.
4 مُوبِئٌ Water that is little in quantity; and failing, or stopping.
