Full Definition
سَاسَبٌ
and
سَيْسَبٌ , i. q.
سَبْسَبٌ, with two ب s, the second of which is commonly pronounced سِيسب, and by some سيسم, A kind of tree, a kind of lofty tree, of which arrows are made, and bows. In the saying of Rubeh,
[She went, and he went, like the rods of the seysáb, (of which see another reading voce سَبْسَبٌ, in art. سب,) meaning, like arrows], it may be that السيساب is a dial. var. of السَّيْسَب, or it may be that the ا is added for the sake of the rhyme like as it is in العَقْرَاب in a verse cited in art. عقرب. (M. [Accord. to the K and TA, is used by Ru-beh for السَّيْسَبَان: but this is evidently a mistake.])رَاحَتْ وَرَاحَ كَعِصِىِّ
