سَحْبَانُ

Root: سحب

Full Definition

سَحْبَانُ A man who takes, or carries, or sweeps, away everything by which he passes.
2 [Golius explains سَحْبَانٌ, as on the authority of Meyd, as meaning A portion of water remaining in a skin or other thing: but I think that this is a mistranscription for سُحْبَةٌ.]
