2 اهاب بِالإِبِلِ He called to the camels, in driving them or urging them, by the cry هَابْ هَابْ.
3 اهاب بِغَنَمِهِ He cried out to his sheep, or goats, in order that they might stop, or return: and اهاب بِالبَعِيرِ [He cried out to the camel, for the same purpose]. الإِهَابَةُ is The crying out to camels, and calling them.
4 اهاب بَالخَيْلِ He called the horses, or called out to them by the cry هَابِ, (so in the S and in a MS. copy of the K: in the CK, هَابْ,) or by the cry of هَبْ and هَبِى, meaning Come!
