Full Definition
نَقِيبَةٌ
Mind: syn. نَفْسٌ. You say فُلَانٌ مَيْمُونُ النقيبةِ
Such a one is of a fortunate mind, when the person referred to is fortunate in his affairs, succeeding in what he seeks after, or strives to accomplish: or when he is fortunate in his counsel, or advice: or the phrase signifies such a one is fortunate in his actions, and in gaining what he seeks. See also what follows. نَقِيبَةٌ is also said, in the K, to signify the same as عَقْلٌ ; but, says SM, I have not found this in any other lexicon: only I have found the word explained in the L as signifying يُمْنُ الفِعْلِ : so probably عَقْلٌ is a mistake for فِعْلٌ.
2 Also, Counsel, or advice. See above.
3 Also, Penetration of judgment; acuteness; sagacity.
4 Also, Nature; or natural, or native, disposition, temper, or other quality: i. q. نَقِيمَةٌ and عَرِيكَةٌ and طَبِيعَةٌ. (T, art. عرك.) Agreeably with this explanation, the phrase above mentioned is rendered in the T, in art. عرك, Such a one is of a fortunate nature, or natural disposition: or it signifies, in this phrase, as also نقيمة, i. q. لَوْنٌ, Colour, complexion, species, &c. Also هُوَ حَسَنُ النَّقِيبَةِ He is of a good nature, or natural disposition: and in like manner, فُلَانٌ فِى جَمِيلَةٍ Such a one is a person of good dispositions, or natural qualities.
def.2 نَقِيبَةٌ A she-camel having a large udder: having her udder bound up with a cloth or the like, on account of its greatness and excellence: but AM says this is a corruption, and that the correct word is ثقيبة, with ث, meaning a she-camel “ abounding with milk. ”
