Full Definition

طَبَّبَII see the last sentence above, in two places.
2 تَطْبِيبٌ also signifies The inserting a بَنِيقَة [or gore] for the purpose of widening دِيبَاج [or silk brocade]: or, as in the A, one says of a tailor, طبّبِ الثَّوْبَ, meaning he added, in the garment, a بَنِيقَة [or gore], in order that it might become [more] wide.
3 Also The hanging a سِقَآء [or milk-skin] to a pole (عَمُود, S, this is the right word, not عُود [as in copies of the K], TA) of the tent, and then agitating it to produce the butter: but Az says, I have not heard تطبيب explained in this sense except on the authority of Lth, and I think that it is تطنيب.
