لَحِيبٌ

Root: لحب

Full Definition

لَحِيبٌ A she-camel having little flesh in her back: originally, it seems, in the sense of مَلْحُوب, as though meaning “ peeled ” by travel; and afterwards, its original attributive character being forgotten among a people, used without ة [when not preceded by the noun which it qualifies, as when preceded by that noun].
