صَبَا , (S, M, K,) aor. يَصْبُو, inf. n. صَبْوَةٌ, (S,)
or صَبْوٌ, (M, K,) and صُبُوٌّ (S, M, K) and صِبًا [also
written صِبًى, in the CK (erroneously) صَبًى,] and
صَبَآءٌ, (M, K,) [app., in its primary acceptation,
He was a youth, or boy, or child; agreeably with
an explanation of a phrase in what follows, and
with explanations of صِبًا and صَبَآءٌ which will be
found below: ―
2-b2- and hence,] He was, or became,
youthfully ignorant, or foolish, or silly: (M, K:)
[and, as seems to be indicated in the TA, he indulged in amorous dalliance; a sense in which
the verb, more especially with صِبًا (q. v. infrà)
for its inf. n., is very frequently used:] or he inclined to ignorant, or foolish, or silly, and youthful,
conduct; and in like manner ↓ تصابى; from
الصِّبَا, which is from الشَّوْق [i. e. “ desire ”]: (S:
[see an ex. of the inf. n. of the latter verb in a
verse cited voce شَابَ, in art. شيب:]) or صِبًا and
صَبَآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the inclining the heart to
any one; and have other significations expl. in
what follows: and ↓ تَصَابٍ signifies the manifesting passionate love, and desire: (KL:) [but صِبًا
and صَبَآءٌ are often used in different senses: thus
Et-Tebreezee says that] in the following hemistich
of a poem by Dureyd Ibn-Es-Simmeh,
صَبَا مَا صَبَا حَتَّى عَلَا الشَّيْبُ رَأْسَهُ
the first صبا may be from الصِّبَى [or الصِّبَا], and
the second صبا from الصَّبَآءُ signifying الفَتَآءُ; so
that the meaning may be, He engaged in play, or
sport, and الصِّبَى [or amorous dalliance, &c.],
as long as he was a youth, [until hoariness came
upon his head;] or the meaning may be, he
engaged in الصِّبِى as long as he engaged therein,
&c. (Ham p. 380.) And صَبِىَ, (S, M, K,) [aor.
يَصْبَى,] inf. n. صَبَآءٌ, (S,) or صِبًا, (M,) [or both, as
will appear from what follows,] signifies He
played, or sported, with the صِبْيَان [i. e. youths,
or boys, or children]: (S:) or he acted in the
manner of the صِبْيَان: (M, K: *) or both صِبًا and
صَبَآءٌ, as inf. ns., signify the acting as a youth, or
boy, or child; and the playing, or sporting, with
youths, or boys, or children: (KL:) and ↓ تصبّى
and ↓ تصابى, said of an old man, signify he acted
in a youthful, boyish, or childish, manner. (TA.)
