لَبِثَ , aor.
لَبَثَ , inf. n. لَبْثٌ (which is contr. to
analogy, because the inf. n. of an intrans. v. of
the measure فَعِلَ is, accord. to rule, of the measure
فَعَلٌ, S,) and لَبَيثٌ (agreeably with analogy, occurring in a verse of Jereer, S,) and لَبَاثٌ (S, K)
and لُبْثٌ (which is the first form given by ISd)
TA, [and the most common,]) and لُبَاثٌ and لَبَاثَةٌ
and لَبِيثَةٌ, (K,) which are all contr. to analogy,
(TA,) and لُبْثَانٌ, (ISd,) [this last, which is also
contr. to analogy, is said in the TA, to be like
سحبان, but this I suppose to be a mistake for
سُبْحَان,] or لُبْثٌ and لَبَاثٌ are substs., (Msb,)
