and
اَبُبَ
Verbal.Noun أَبٌّ and إِبَابَةٌ and أَبَابَةٌ and أَبَابٌ, He yearned for, longed for, or longed to see, his home.
i. e. I cut [in effect, while I did not really cut] you: for like one who cuts is a brother who has determined and prepared to go away. [Hence,] لَا عَبَابَ وَ لَا أَبَابَ, [or لا عَبَابِ ولا أَبَابِ,] a prov. [which see explained in art. عب]. [And hence the saying,] هُوَ فِى أَبَابِهِ, and أَبَابَتِهِ, and إِبَابَتِهِ, He is in his [state of, or he is engaged in his,] preparation or equipment [for departing or journeying]. The hemzeh in أَبَّ is sometimes changed into و; and thus وَبَّ, Verbal.Noun وَبٌّ, signifies He prepared himself to assault, or charge, in battle.صَرَمْتُ وَلَمْ أَصْرِمْكُمُ وَكَصَارِمٍ أَخٌ قَدْ طَوَى كَشْحًا وَأَبَّ لِيَذْهَبَا
