[i. e. pl. of انبار] is أَنَابِيرُ.
2 أَنْبَارٌ also signifies A merchant's magazine, or chamber, (بَيْت,) in which he puts together, in order, or piles up, his goods. [In the K, it is added, that the sing. is نِبْرٌ: but this addition seems to be misplaced: for انبار in the last of the senses here explained, as well as when applied to a granary. and to a collection of طعام, appears to be a pl. without a sing.]
