مَشُوبٌ

Root: شوب

Full Definition

مَشُوبٌ and مَشِيبٌ, the latter from شِيب [“ it was mixed ”], Mixed. A poet says, وَمَآءُ قُدُورٍ فِى القِصَاعِ مَشِيبُ i. e. [And the water of cooking-pots, in the wooden bowls,] mixed with seeds for seasoning and with sauces.
2 الفَتْحَةُ المَشُوبَةُ بِالكَسْرَةِ means [The fet-hah that is mingled with kesreh; which is] the fethah that precedes the ا of إِمَالَة; as in عَابِدٌ and عَارِفٌ [when they are pronounced “ 'ébidun ” and “ 'érifun ”]; for امالة consists in inclining [the sound of] fet-hah towards [that of] kesreh; whereby [the sound of] the ا that follows it is inclined, and is not a pure ا; for like as [the sound of] the fet-hah is mingled [with that of kesreh], so is [the sound of] the ا [mingled with that of ى].
