Root: طنب

Full Definition

مُطَنَّبٌ A tent, (بَيْت, O, or خِبَآء, S,) and a رِوَاق, tied, or made fast, with أَطْنَاب [or tentropes]. A man is related to have said to Ubeí Ibn-Kaab, in reply to the latter's advising him to buy a beast to convey him to the place of prayer of the Prophet, مَا أَحِبُّ أَنْ بَيْتِى مُطَنَّبٌ بِبَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ i. e. [I do not like] that my tent should be tied with tent-ropes to the tent of Mohammad: as though he reckoned upon a reward for his many foot-steps to the mosque.
2 And قَوْسٌ مُطَنَّبَةٌ A bow having an إِطْنَابَة [q. v.] attached to it.
