Full Definition
قَلَبَهُI
, Present.T
ـِ Verbal.Noun قَلْبٌ, He altered, or changed, its, or his, mode, or manner, of being; and
قلّبهُ signifies the same, or is like قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above and in other senses but denotes intensiveness and muchness; and
also signifies the same as قَلَبَهُ in the sense expl. above, on the authority of Lh, but is of weak authority. Hence, He inverted it; turned it upside-down; turned it so as to make its upper most part its undermost; namely, a thing; for instance, a [garment of the kind called] رِدَآء: and
قلّبهُ has a similar meaning, but [properly] denotes intensiveness and muchness. (Msb. See two exs. of the latter verb voce قَلَبَةٌ.) And, like
قلّبهُ , [except that the latter properly denotes intensiveness and muchness,] it signifies حَوَّلَهُ ظَهْرًا
لِبَطْنٍ [He turned it over, or upsidedown as meaning so that the upper side became the under side; lit. back for belly; accord. to the TA, meaning back upon belly (ظَهْرًا عَلَى بَطْنٍ); but this is hardly conceivable; whereas the former explanation is obviously right in another case: and another meaning of قَلَبَهُ and
, i. e. he turned it inside-out, is indicated in the TA by its being added, so that he knew what was in it].
2 See an ex. voce قَلَابِ. One says, قَلَبَ كَلَامًا [meaning He altered, or changed, the order of the words of a sentence or the like, by inversion, or by any transposition]. [And in like manner, قَلَبَ كَلِمَةً He altered, or changed, the order of the letters of a word, by inversion, or by any transposition.] Es-Sakháwee says, in the Expos. of the Mufassal, that when they transpose [the letters of a word], they do not assign to the [transformed] derivative an Verbal.Noun, lest it should be confounded with the original, using only the Verbal.Noun of the original that it may be an evidence of the originality [of the application of the latter to denote the signification common to both]: thus they say يَئِسَ, Verbal.Noun يَأْسٌ; and أَيِسَ is مَقْلُوبٌ مِنْهُ [i. e. formed by transposition, or metathesis, from it], and has no Verbal.Noun: when the two inf. ns. exist, the grammarians decide that each of the two verbs is [to be regarded as] an original, and that neither is مقلوب from the other, as in the case of جَذَبَ and جَبَذَ: but the lexicologists [in general] assert that all such are [of the class termed] مقلوب. (Mz, close of the 33rd نوع.) [And قَلَبَ likewise signifies He changed, or converted, a letter into another letter; the verb in this sense being doubly trans.: for ex., one says, قَلَبَ الوَاوَ يَآءً He changed, or converted, the و into ى.]
3 And [hence] one says, قَلَبَهُ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ
4 And قَلَبَ عَيْنَهُ, and حِمْلَاقَهُ, or حِمْلَاقَ عَيْنِهِ, [He turned about, or rolled, his eye, and therefore the parts of his eye that are occasionally covered by the eyelids,] on the occasion of anger, and of threatening.
5 قَلَبَ, Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun قَلْبٌ; and likewise, but this is of weak authority, mentioned by Lh; signify also He turned over bread, and the like, when the upper part thereof was thoroughly baked, in order that the under side might become so. And you say, قَلَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ [I turned over the vessel upon its head]. (Msb, in explanation of كَبَبْتُ الإِنَآءَ.) And قَلَبْتُ الأَرْضَ لِلزِّرَاعَةِ [I turned over the earth for sowing]: and , also, I did so much.] And يُقْلَبُ التُّرَابُ بِالحَفْرِ [The earth is turned over in digging]: whence قَلَبْتُ قَلِيبًا means I dug a well.
6 And [hence also] one says, قَلَبْتُ الشَّىْءَ لِلْاِبْتِيَاعِ I turned over the thing, or
def.2 قَلَبٌ signifies اِنْقِلابٌ, meaning A turning outward, and being flabby, of the lip, or of the upper lip, of a man: it is the Verbal.Noun of قَلِبَت said of the lip (الشَّفَةُ); [and also, accord. to the TK, of قَلِبَ said of a man as meaning His lip had what is termed قَلَبٌ:] and hence أَقْلَبُ as an epithet applied to a man; and [its fem.] as an epithet applied to a lip.
def.3 قَلَبَهُ, Present.T ـُ and ـِ He hit his heart. And It affected, or attacked, his heart. And قُلِبَ He was affected, or attacked, by a pain in his heart, from which one hardly, or nowise, becomes free. And قُلِبَ said of a camel, Verbal.Noun قُلَابٌ, He was attacked by the disease called قُلَاب expl. below: or he was attacked suddenly by the [pestilence termed] غُدَّة, and died in consequence.
2 [Hence,] قَلَبَ النَّخْلَةَ
3 And قَلَبَتِ البُسْرَةُ
