1 xa$aba * , (S, K,) aor. xa$iba , (K,) inf. n. xa$obN , (TA,) He mixed a thing (S, K) with ( bi ) another thing. (S.) ― -b2- And He picked out, chose out, or selected, a thing: the verb thus having two contr. significations. (K, TA.) -A2- Also, (S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) He polished a sword, (S, K,) by laying on it a broad and smooth spearhead and rubbing it therewith: so accord. to ElAhmar, who relates that an Arab of the desert said to him, I said to a sword-polisher, “ Hast thou finished my sword? ” and he answered, naEamo A_il~aA A^an~iY lamo A^axo$ibohu [ Yes, except that I have not polished it ]. (S.) And [or, as in the TA, “ or ”] He sharpened it. (K, TA.) ― -b2- And He forged a sword: (K:) or fashioned it with the file, without polishing it: (TA:) or he made it imperfectly, not thoroughly, or not well: (A:) thus, again, the verb has two contr. significations: (K:) also he thus made an arrow: (A:) or he shaped out a bow, (AHn, K,) and an arrow, (TA,) [ in a rough manner, or] by the first operation, (AHn, K, TA,) without perfecting it, or making it smooth, or even. (TA.) You say of a sword, before it has been filed, maA A^aHosana maA xu$iba [ How well has it been forged! ]: and in like manner one says of an arrow, when it has been filed, before the safan [with which it is smoothed] has been applied to it. (Skr, on a verse of Sakhr, cited below, voce xa$iybapN .) ― -b3- [Hence,] xa$aba Al$~iEora , (ISk, S, A, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (A,) (tropical:) He said, spoke, or uttered, the poetry (ISk, S, A, K) as it came, (ISk, S,) [ unpolished, and unstudied, ] without affecting nicety, or refinement, therein, (ISk, S, A, K,) and without study, or labour: (A, K:) Jereer did thus, and Farezdak trimmed his verses; but the verses of Jereer thus produced are better than the trimmed verses of Farezdak: (A, TA:) and ↓ Axt$bhu signifies the same. (A, K.) You say also, humo yaxo$ibuwna AlkalaAma waAlEamala (tropical:) [ They say, speak, or utter, words, and do work, without affecting nicety, or refinement, and without study, or labour ]: (A:) or imperfectly, or not thoroughly; inelegantly, or not well. (TA.) And Ait~axa*a Als~ayofa xa$abFA : see 8.

xa$abN * [ Wood, such as is used in carpentry and the like; timber; ] thick wood: (A, K:) [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. xa$abapN [signifying a piece of wood or timber ]: (Msb:) the pl. of the latter, (S, Msb, *) or of the former, (K,) is xa$abN , (S, K, [i. e., accord. to the K, the pl. is the same as the sing., but properly speaking, as said above, this is a coll. gen. n.,]) and xu$ubN and xu$obN (S, Msb, K) and xu$obaAnN , (S, K,) [which last is agreeable with analogy as pl. of xa$abN ,] or xu$obaAnN is pl. of xu$obN , and xu$obN is pl. of xa$abapN . (JK.) The hypocrites are described in a trad. as xu$ubN biAll~ayoli SuxubN biAln~ahaAri Like timbers, or pieces of wood, in the night; [ clamorous in the day; ] meaning that they pass the night in sleep, without prayer. (TA.) ― -b2- maAlN xa$abN (assumed tropical:) Cattle that are lean, or emaciated, syn. hazolaY , (K,) in consequence of their feeding upon dry herbage. (TA.) [And it seems that ↓ xa$abN signifies the same: for I find in the TA, and in a copy of the A which I believe to have been used by the author of the TA, mentioned as tropical, maAlN xa$abN waHaTibN jazolN , app. meaning that maAlN xa$ibN and HaTibN signify jazolN ; but jazolN , I think, is here evidently a mistranscription for hazolaY ; as HaTibN is explained in the S and K as signifying “ very lean or meagre. ”]

xa$ibN * Rough, or coarse; as also ↓ A^axo$abuxa$iybN : (K:) the former applied in this sense to a male ostrich: (S:) and both signify anything gross, or big, and rough, or coarse; (A 'Obeyd, S;) as also ↓ xa$iybN : (TA:) and the first, (K,) applied to a man and to a camel, (TA,) tall, and gross, rude, or coarse, with bones uncovered by flesh, and hard, or hardy, and strong; (K, * TA;) as also ↓ xa$iybN and ↓ xa$iybiY~N : (K:) or these three signify, or signify also, dry, or rigid, or tough: (Kr, ISd:) and xa$ibN , a man hard, or hardy, strong, and vigorous, in body: (A, TA:) and the same, (JK,) or ↓ xa$iybN , (TA,) a man whose bones are uncovered by flesh, and whose sinews are apparent; (JK, TA;) hard, or hardy, and strong: (JK:) and the last, a gross, big, or coarse, camel: (S, TA:) a camel gross, coarse, or rude, in make, and ugly: (TA:) and a horse thick, or big, in the bones. (Ham p. 207.) See also xa$abN . And see A^axo$abu , in two places. ― -b2- Also (assumed tropical:) Life in which one is not dainty, nice, or scrupulous. (K.)
