جُبَبٌ

Root: جب

Full Definition

جُبَبٌ Butter, or what is produced by churning, of camels' milk; like as زُبْد is what is produced by churning of cows' or sheep's or goats' milk: (Msb in art. زبد:) what rises upon the surface, or what has collected together [or coagulated], of the milk of camels, resembling زُبْد, which camels' milk has not: when a camel shakes about a skin of camels' milk, suspended to him, what is termed جباب collects at the mouth of the skin.
