(Bd.) b2:  Also It became high. (Msb, * TA.) b3: رَبَا, aor.  as above; and رَبِىَ, aor. ـْ said of a child, He grew up. (Msb.) You say, رَبَوْتُ فِىبَنِى فُلَانٍ, (S,) or فِى حَجْرِهِ, inf. n. رُبُوٌّ (M, K, TA) and رُبْوٌ, (M, TA,) with damm, (TA,) this  latter on the authority of Lh, (M, TA,) accord. to the K رَبْوٌ, with fet-h, but correctly with damm; (TA;) and رَبِيتُ, (S, M, TA,) in the copies of the K erroneously written رَبَيْتُ, (TA,) inf. n. رَبَآءٍ and رُبِىٌّ; (M, K, TA; [the latter, accord. to the CK, رَبِىٌّ, which is a mistranscription;]) I grew up [among the sons of such a one, or in his care and protection]. (S, M, K.) b4:  رَبَتِ الأَرْضُ The ground [being rained upon] became  large, and swelled. (M, TA.) In the Kur xxii. 5 and xli. 39, for وَرَبَتْ, some read وَرَبَأَتٌ: the former means and [becomes large, and swells; or] increases: the latter means “ and rises. ” (T. [See art. ربأ.]) b5:  رَبَا السَّوِيقُ, inf. n. رُبُوٌّ, The سويق [or meal of parched barley] had water poured upon it, and in consequence swelled: (M, TA:) in the copies of the K, رَبَا السَّوِيقَ, expl. as meaning he poured water on the سويق, and it consequently swelled.

[We pursued the chase until] we became out of breath; &c.; syn. بُهِرْنَا. (M.) b8:  See also 4.A2:  رَبَوْتُ الرَّابِيَةَ I ascended, or mounted, upon the hill, or elevated ground.

(Er-Rághib, TA. [See 1 in art. رب, in two places.]) [Thus رَبَّيْتُ signifies I reared, or cultivated, plants or trees.] And ربّى is said of earth, or soil, meaning It fostered plants or herbage. (L in art. رشح, &c.) And يُنَوِّرُ وَلَا يُرَبِّى is said of a tree [as meaning It produces blossoms, but does not mature its produce].

(K, * TA.) 4 أَرْبَيْتُهُ (in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, ارتبيته, TA) I increased, or augmented, it. (M, K, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [ii. 277], وَيُرْبِى الصَّدَقَاتِ (M, TA) And He will increase, or augment, alms-deeds; (Jel;) will  multiply the recompense thereof, (Bd, Jel,) and bless them. (Bd.) See also an ex. in the first paragraph.A2:  أَرْبَيْتُ I took more than I gave. (S.) b2:  [Hence,] اربى, said of a man, signifies [particularly] He engaged in, or entered upon, الرِّبَا [i. e. the practising, or taking, of usury or the like; he practised, or took, usury or the like; as also ↓ رَبَا, aor. ـْ for] إِرْبَآءٌ and رَبْوٌ, as inf. ns., both signify, in Pers\., رِبَا خوُرْدَنْ. (KL. [In the TA, رَبَا, said of a man, is expl. by the words حصل فى ربوة: but I think that the right reading must be حَصَّلَ فِى رِبًوا, or مِنْ رِبًوا; and the meaning, He acquired in the practice of usury or the like, or he acquired of usury or the like.]) See, again, an ex. in the first paragraph. b3: اربى عَلَى الخَمْسَينَ, (M, Msb,) وَنَحْوِهَا, (M,) He exceeded [the age of fifty, and the like]. (M, Msb.) b4:  [أَرْبَى said of the عَرْفَج, in a copy of the S, in art رقط is a mistranscription for أَدْبَى, with dál.]5 تربّى, said of a child, (Mgh, Msb,) He was, or became, fed, or nourished; (Mgh;) or reared, fostered, or brought up. (Msb.) A2:  See also 1, near the end of the paragraph.A3:  تَرَبَّيْتُهُ: see 2.رَبْوٌ: see رُبْوَةٌ. b2:  Also A company (IAar, T, K, TA) of men: (IAar, T, TA:) pl. أَرْبَآءُ: (IAar, T, K, TA:) and ↓ رِبْوَةٌ likewise signifies a company; or, as some say, ten thousand; as also رُبَّةٌ; (M, TA;) or the former of these two words, (i. e. ربوة,) accord. to the A, signifies a great company of men, such as ten thousand. (TA.) It is said in the K that ↓ رِبْوَةٌ signifies Ten thousand dirhems; as also ↓ رُبَةٌ: but in this assertion are errors; for the former of these two words signifies as explained in the foregoing sentence; and the latter of them is with teshdeed, belonging to art. رب, and signifies a company [or great company] of men. (TA.) A2:  Also, (T, S, M, K, TA,) and ↓ رَبْوَةٌ, (M, TA,) The state of being out of breath; interruption of the breath by reason of fatigue or running &c.: or a panting, or breathing shortly or uninterruptedly: syn. بُهْرٌ, (T, M, TA,) and اِنْبِهَارٌ: (TA:) or a loud (lit. high) breathing: (S:) and a state of inflation of the جَوْف [or chest].

[The former word is now often used as signifying Asthma.]رِبًا, (T, M, Msb, K,) or ↓ رِبًوا, (S, Mgh,) [for it is often thus written, and generally thus in the copies of the Kur-án,] with the short ا accord. to the pronunciation best known, (Msb,) [which implies that it is also pronounced ↓ رِبَآءٌ,] An excess, and an addition: (Msb:) an addition over and above the principal sum [that is lent or expended]: but in the law it signifies an addition obtained in a particular manner: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [i. e. usury, and the like; meaning both unlawful, and lawful, interest or profit; and the practice of taking such interest or profit:] it is in lending, (Zj, T,) or in buying and selling, (S,) and in giving: and is of two kinds; unlawful, and lawful: the unlawful is any loan for which one receives more than the loan, or by means of which one draws a profit; [and the gain made by such means:] and the lawful is a gift by which a man invites more than it to be given to him, or a gift that he gives in order that more than it may be given to him; [and the addition that he so obtains:] (Zj, T:) [it generally means] an addition that is obtained by selling food [&c.] for food [&c.], or ready money for ready money, to be paid at an appointed period; or by exchanging either of such things for more of the same kind: (Bd in ii.276:) or the taking of an addition in lending and in selling: (PS:) [it is said to be] i. q. عِينَةٌ: (M, K:) [but although رِبًا and عِينَةٌ are both applicable sometimes in the same case, neither of them can be properly said to be generally explanatory of the other, or syn. therewith: رِبَا النَّسِيْئَةِ is a term specially employed to signify profit obtained in the case of a delay of payment: and رِبَا الفَضْلِ to signify profit obtained by the superior value of a thing received over that of a thing given:] the dual of رِبًا (M, Msb, K) or رِبًوا (S) is رِبَوَانِ and رِبَيَانِ; (S, M, Msb, K;) the former being agreeable with the original; (M, Msb;) the ى in the latter being because of the imáleh occasioned by the preceding kesreh. (M.) See an ex. near the beginning of the first paragraph of this art. ↓ رُبْيَةٌ, thus pronounced by the Arabs, but by the relaters of a trad., in which it occurs, ↓ رُبِّيَّةٌ, (Fr, T, S, Mgh,) or, as some say, ↓ رُبَيَّةٌ, as though this were the dim. of رُبْيَةٌ, (Mgh,) is a dial. var. of رِبًوا [or رِبًا]; and by rule should be رُبْوَةٌ: (Fr, T, S, Mgh:) or, accord. to Z, رُبّيَّةٌ may  be of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ from الرِّبَا.
