3 أَسْوَدُ غِرْبِيبٌ means Intensely black: but if you say غَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ, you make the latter word a substitute for the former; because a word corroborative of one signifying a colour cannot precede; nor can the corroborative of any word: or, accord. to Hr, غَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ [in the Kur xxxv. 25], relating to mountains, means Streaks having black rocks.
