3 Also, or ربّد , [or ربد التَّمْرَ,] He stowed, or packed, dates, or the dates, in رَبَائِد, i. e. oblong pieces of matting [of woven palm-leaves]. [From what here follows, and from the usage of the part. n. رَابِدٌ , it appears that the former verb is correct; but the latter may be so too, or may have an intensive signification.] You say also, رَبَدْتُ تَمْرَكَ رَبْدًا حَسَنًا I stowed thy dates in the مِرْبَد in a good manner.
