and تَسْبَغَةٌ and
and تَسْبَغٌ, the first of which is the most chaste, I. q.
مِغْفَرٌ [q. v.]: or a portion of the mail of the coat of mail, that is conjoined to the helmet, and protects the neck: for the helmet becomes lengthened (تَسْبُغُ) thereby; and but for it, there would be between it and the opening at the neck of the coat of mail an intervening space: or the mail composing the
رَفْرَف
of the helmet, at the bottom thereof, with which the man protects his neck, and which is also called the
مِغْفَر: or, accord. to “ the Book of the Coat of Mail and the Helmet, ” by AO, the رَفْرَف of the helmet is other than its تَسْبِغَة; for he says that, of helmets, there is that which has a رَفْرَف, [consisting of] rings [or mail] encompassing the bottom thereof, so as to surround the back and other parts of the neck, and the two cheeks, and to reach to the مَحْجِرَانِ [q. v.] of the two eyes; and he afterwards says, but when it [the helmet] is not of plate, or expanded metal, but is [a head-covering] of mail, it is called مِغْفَرٌ and غِفَارَةٌ and تَسْبِغَةٌ: [the pl. is تَسَابِغُ:] and the helmet [that has a تَسْبِغَة attached to it, accord. to those who mean by this term the mail attached to the bottom thereof,] is called
سَابِغٌ : or, accord. to As, one says بَيْضَةٌ لَهَا سَابِغٌ, or لَهَا تَسَابِغُ. (K, TA: in the CK [erroneously] تَسَابُغٌ.)
