Full Definition
وَيْبَةٌ
A measure consisting of twenty-two, or twenty-four,
أَمْدَاد (pl. of مُدٌّ), which see in art. مك. Not mentioned by J nor by IF; and IDrd doubted respecting it. In truth it is a post-classical word, used by the people of Syria and Egypt and Africa Proper. [At present, the ويبة in Cairo is the sixth part of an إِرْدَبّ, which latter is equivalent, very nearly, to five English bushels.]
