3 تَنَاهَبَتِ الإِبِلُ الأَرْضَ The camels took much of the ground with their legs: [app. meaning, took wide strides over it: not, as rendered by Golius, “ multum pulveris pedibus suis rapuerunt; ” nor, as rendered by Freytag, “ multum terræ pedibus abstulerunt ”].
4 الإِبِلُ يَنْهَبْنَ السُّرَى, and يَتَنَاهَبْنَهُ, [The camels perform the night-journey with large strides]: and [in like manner] تناهبتِ الأَرْضَ. Camels that do so are termed إِبِلٌ نَوَاهِبُ.
