بِالوَادِ (Fr, S, TA) And Thamood, who made holes
in the rocks, (Fr, TA,) or cut the rocks, (Bd,

(S, K, and Msb in art. جيب;) and aor. يَجِيبُ,
(S, K,) [inf. n., app., جِيبٌ, originally جَوْبٌ; see

2-b2- [Hence, also,] جاب, (S, A,
Msb, TA,) aor. يَجُوبُ (S, Msb, TA) and يَجِيبُ,
(S, TA,) inf. n. جَوْبٌ; (TA;) and ↓ اجتاب; (S,
A, TA;) (tropical:) He traversed, or crossed, (S, A, * Msb,
TA,) or cut through by journeying, (TA,) a
country, (S, TA,) or a land, (Msb,) and a desert,
and the darkness: (A, * TA:) and جَوْبٌ signifies
likewise the pouncing down of a bird. (TA.) A
rájiz says,
بَاتَتْ تَجِيبُ أَدْعَجَ الظَّلَامِ
جِيبَ البِيَطْرِ مِدْرَعَ الهُمَامِ
(assumed tropical:) [She passed the night cutting through the black
darkness, like as the tailor cuts through the woollen
tunic of the valiant chief, making the opening at
the neck and bosom]: (S: [but in one copy, instead of جِيبَ, I here find جَيْبَ; and in art. بطر,
شَقَّ:]) and Sh remarks that this [verb تجيب, or
the inf. n. جيب,] is not from الجَيْبُ [meaning
“ the opening at the neck and bosom ” of a shirt
&c.], because its medial radical is و, and that of
الجيب is ى: (TA:) [i. e., جاب, aor. يجيب, is
originally جَوَبَ, aor. يَجْوِبُ.] One says also, of
news, يَجُوبُ الأَرْضَ مِنْ بَلَدٍ إِلَى بَلَدٍ (assumed tropical:) [It traverses
the earth from country to country, or the land
from town to town]. (S, TA.) And of proverbs,
تَجُوبُ البِلَادَ (assumed tropical:) They are current in the countries,
or towns. (TA.) ―
2-b3- It is said in a trad., جِيبَتِ
العَرَبُ عَنَّا كَمَا جِيبَتِ الرَّحَا عَنْ قُطْبِهَا (assumed tropical:) The Arabs
were rent from us, like as the mill-stone is rent
from its pivot; we being in the midst, and they
around us. (TA.) ＝
