تُنَيْرِبُ

Q. Q. 1 or عَلَى الأَرْضِ, Verbal.Noun نَيْرَبَةٌ, The wind lays the dust upon it, or upon the ground, in cross, wavy lines: syn. تَنْسِجُهُ. Hence نَيْرَبَ الكَلَام.
2 It has been asserted that ن and ر do not come together in any [pure] Arabic word; and F has said the same in art. نرش; [or rather he has there said that ر does not occur in an Arabic word with ن before it; (meaning a radical ن;)] yet he has here mentioned this word as though it were pure Arabic. So says MF. To this it may be replied, that ى is inserted to separate the ن and ر, as remarked in the L.
3 نَيْرَبَ He forged [speech, or language]: syn. نَسَجَ. You say هُوَ يُنَيْرِبُ القَوْلَ.
4 نَيْرَبَ He mixed, or confounded, speech, [introducing what was false with that which was true].
5 نَيْرَبَ He uttered a malicious and mischievous misrepresentation, a calumny, or slander.
