ركّبهُII , [Verbal.Noun as below,] He lent him the horse, [or mounted him on the horse,] to go forth on a warring and plundering expedition, on the condition of receiving from him one half of the spoil: or for a portion of the spoil that he should obtain. [See also 4.]
2 And ركّبهُ, Verbal.Noun تَرْكِيبٌ, He put, or set, one part of it upon another: [he set it, or fixed it, in another thing: he composed it; constituted it; or put it together.] تَرْكِيبٌ signifies The putting together, or combining, things, whether suitable or not, or placed in order or not: it is a more general term than تَأْلِيفٌ, which is the collecting together, or putting together, suitable things. You say, رَكَّبَ الفَصَّ فِى الخَاتَمِ He set the stone in the signet-ring: and ركّب السِّنَانَ فِى القَنَاةِ He fixed the spearhead in the shaft; and النَّصْلَ فِى السَّهْمِ [the arrow-head in the shaft]. And شَىْءٌ حَسَنُ التَّرْكِيبِ [A thing good, or beautiful, in respect of composition or constitution; well, or beautifully, composed or constituted or put together].
3 Also He removed it from one place to another in which to plant it; namely, a shoot of a palm-tree.
