كَبُرَ

1 kabura * , aor. kabura , (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. kuborN (A, Msb, K) and kibarN and kabaArapN , (A, K,) He, (TA,) or it, (Msb,) was, or became, great, [ big, or large in body, or corporeal substance: and in years, or age; (when said of a human being, often particularly signifying he attained to puberty; ) and in estimation or rank or dignity; ] contr. of Dagura ; (A, K;) syn. EaZuma , (S, Msb, K,) and jasuma . (K.) [In the K the pret. is twice mentioned: where it is explained as signifying the contr. of Sagura , the above inf. ns. are mentioned, as in the A: where it is explained by EaZuma and jasuma in the K, no inf. n. is mentioned; but in the TA it is there said that in the sense of EaZuma it relates to an affair or case, and that the inf. n. is kibarN and kabaArapN ; and that in the sense of jasuma it relates to anything.] ― -b2- kabura AlA^amoru [ The affair, or case, was, or became, of great moment; it was, or became, momentous: or it signifies as in the phrase next following]. (A.) ― -b3- kabura Ealayohi AlA^amoru The affair, or case, was, or became, difficult, hard, severe, grievous, distressing, afflictive, troublesome, or burdensome, to him or in its effect upon him; syn. $aq~a . (A, * TA.) In this sense the verb is used in the Kur, x, 72, (TA,) and xlii, 11. (Bd, ii. 42.) And so in the Kur again, xvii, 53, A^awo xaloqFA mim~aA yakoburu fiY Sduwrikumo , (TA,) meaning, A^awoxaloqFA mim~aA yakoburu Einodakumo Eano qubuwli AlHayaApi [ Or a created thing of those which are too difficult in your minds to receive life ], as being the thing most remote from capability to receive life. (Bd.) [This signification is from the primary application of the verb.] -A2- kabira , aor. kabara , inf. n. kibarN and makobirN , He (a man, S, a human being, and a beast, TA, and a child, Msb,) became full-grown, or old, or advanced in age. (S, K.) Hence the prov., kabira Eamoruw Eani AlT~awoqi : see art. Twq .] ― -b2- [In modern Arabic, and, I believe, sometimes, in classic authors, it also signifies He became big; (said of a boy, or child, in the TA in art. rE , &c.;) i. e. attained to full growth: and to adolescence: and to puberty: see kabiyrN .] This form of the verb and that first mentioned are sometimes erroneously used, each for the other, by persons of distinction as well as by the vulgar. (TA.) ― -b3- See kaborapN , below. -A3- kaAbarotuhu fakabarotuhu , aor. of the latter, kabura : see 3. ― -b2- kabarahu bisanapK , aor. kabura , He exceeded me in age by a year. (K.) And maA kabaraniY A_il~aA bisanapK He did not exceed me in age save by a year. (IAar.)
