2 مَنْبِتٌ A place in which plants, or herbs, grow: dev. from the constant course of speech: analogically it should be مَنْبَتٌ : as the Present.T of the verb from which it is derived is not يَنْبِتُ, with kesreh: but there are other examples like it; as مَسجِدٌ and مَطْلِعٌ &c.: مَنْبَتٌ , however, also sometimes occurs.
