(M, L, TA.) 4 أَصَبُّوا They (a company of men, TA) took  their way down a declivity, or declivous place. (M, K, TA.) 5 تَصَبَّّ see 7, in four places. b2:  And see also what here follows.6 تَصَابَبْتُ المَآءَ I drank what remained of the water (S, A, K) in a vessel: (S, A:) [or] you  say, تصابّ الصُّبَابَةَ and ↓ اصطبّها and ↓ تصبّبها [he drank what remained of the water, or of the milk, in a vessel]; (M, L;) all signifying the same. (L, TA.) b2:  And [hence,] تَصَابَّ فُلَانٌ المَعِيشَةَ بَعْدَ فُلانٍ [lit. Such a one drank the remains of life after such a one], meaning (tropical:)  such a one outlived such a one: (A, * TA:) and تَصَابَبْتُهُمْأَجْمَعِينَ إِلَّا وَاحِدًا (tropical:)  [I outlived them all except one]. (TA.) Esh-Shemmákh says, (M,) or ElAkhtal, (TA,) لَقَوْمٌ تَصَابَبْتُ المَعِيشَةَ بَعْدَهُمْأَعَزُّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ عِفَآءٍ تَغَيَّرَا (tropical:)  [Verily the loss of a people whom I have outlived is more severe to me than abundant and long hair that has become altered in colour]: he means, the loss of those with whom I was in a state of ease and plenty is more severe to me than my hair's becoming white: (M:) Az says, he likens what remained of his life to the remains of beverage that he was sipping up.

(K.) One says, المَآءُ يَنْصَبُّ مِنَ الجَبَلِ, (TA,) and من الجبل ↓ يَتَصَبَّبُ, (S, TA,) The water descends, little by little, from the mountain. (S, TA.) And العَرَقُ ↓ تصبّب [The sweat flowed], and الدَّمُ [the blood]. (A.) And عَرَقًا ↓ تَصَبَّبْتُ [which may be rendered I flowed with sweat] is a phrase of the Arabs, meaning تصبّب عَرَقِى [my sweat flowed]: thus the act is literally ascribed to the speaker, and what is essentially the agent becomes a specificative: it is not allowable to say عَرَقًا تَصَبَّبْتُ; for, as it is not allowable to put the agent before the verb, so it is not allowable to put the specificative, when it is virtually the agent, before the verb. (IJ, M.) b2:  One says also, انصبّ الكُوزُ [The mug had its contents poured out or forth]. (TA in art. دفق.) b3:  See also 1, in three places. b4:  انصب النَّاسُ عَلَى المَآءِ [generally implies descent, but] means (assumed tropical:)  The people collected together, or assembled, at the water.

(assumed tropical:)  Thou inclinest to diversion, or sport..]8 اصطبّ المَآءَ is expl. by Sb as signifying He took for himself the water; agreeably with general analogy: (M:) [but it is more properly rendered he poured out for himself the water:] one says, اِصْطَبَبْتُ لِنَفْسِى مَآءً مِنَ القِرْبَةِ لِأَشْرَبَهُ [I poured out for myself water from the skin that I might drink it]: and اِصْطَبَبْتُ لِنَفْسِى قَدَحًا [I poured out for myself a cup].

Q. 2 تَصَبْصَبَ (assumed tropical:)  It was, or became, annihilated, caused to pass away, or done away with; (S, M, K;) it passed, or went, away; said of a thing. (S, M.

(M, K, * TA.) صَبٌّ is an inf. n. [and is] used [as an epithet] in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, or of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (TA:) [thus it is used as an epithet] applied to water, [meaning Pouring out or forth, or poured out or forth,] like as are سَكْبٌ and غَوْرٌ: (S, TA: [see also صَابٌّ and صَبِيبٌ:]) and hence, in 'Alee's description of Aboo-Bekr, when he died, كُنْتَ عَلَى الكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا صَبًّا (assumed tropical:)  [Thou wast, against, or upon, the unbelievers, a punishment pouring forth, or poured forth]. (TA.) b2:  And [hence, app.,] one  says, ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبًا صَبًّا, meaning (assumed tropical:)  He smote him with the edge of the sword [as though with a smiting pouring down, or poured down]; as also حَدْرً. (IAar, L, TA.) b3:  One says also, ضَرَبَهُ مِائِةً فَصَبًّا, (TA,) or أَخَذَ مِائَةً فَصَبًّا, (A,) meaning, (tropical:)  [He smote him with a hundred blows, or he took a hundred,] and less than that, i. e. فَدُونَ ذٰلِكَ, (TA,) contr. of فَصَاعِدًا; (A;) or and more [than that], or above [that], i. e. like فَصَاعِدًا, (A, TA,) i. e. مَا فَوْقَ ذٰلِكَ. (TA.) b4:  And عَلَيْهِ البَلَآءُ ↓ صُبَّ, مِنْ صَبٍّ, meaning (tropical:)  [Trial, or affliction, was poured upon him] from above. (A, TA.) A2:  Also, applied to a man, Affected with excessive love, or with attachment, or admiring love, (IAar, S, A, * TA,) and desire: (S:) or with desire: (M, A, * K:) or with tenderness of desire, (S, * M, A, * K,) and ardour thereof: (S: * [see صَبَّ:]) or with tenderness of love. (M, K.) One says, هُوَ صَبٌّ بِهَا (and إِلَيْهَا (see صَبَّ)] He is affected with excessive love of her; &c.: (A:) fem. صَبَّةٌ: (M, K:) dual  masc. صَبَّانِ, pl. masc. صَبُّونَ; dual. fem. صَبَّتَانِ, pl. fem. صَبَّاتٌ: thus accord. to those who hold رَجُلٌ صَبٌّ to be similar to رَجُلٌ فَهِمٌ and حَذِرٌ, originally صَبِبٌ: (TA:) [hence it appears that some hold صَبٌّ to be originally an inf. n., and therefore use it as an epithet in its original form, without regard to gender or number: but] accord. to Sb, صَبٌّ is [originally] of the measure فَعِلٌ, because you say صَبِبْتُ صَبَابَةً, like as you say قَنِعْتُ قَنَاعَةً. (M.) See also 1, last sentence.صُبٌّ: see صُبَّةٌ. b2: Accord. to AO, it may also be pl. of ↓ صَبُوبٌ or of ↓ صَابٌّ: but Az says that, accord. to others, it is not pl. of either of these two words; their pl. being صُبُبٌ: (L, TA:) it is said in a trad., (S, L, TA,) respecting conflicts and factions, or seditions, (L, TA,) لَتَعُودُنَّ فِيهَا أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ: (S, L, TA:) here  by أَسَاوِد are meant “ [great and noxious] serpents: ” (L, TA:) and صُبًّا, accord. to Ez-Zuhree, is from الصَّبُّ [“ the act of pouring out or forth ”]; for the serpent, he says, when it desires to bite, raises itself, and then darts down (lit. pours down) upon him that is bitten: (S, L, TA:) [as though the meaning were, Ye will be, therein, like great and noxious serpents, one portion of you smiting the necks of another portion:] Ez-Zuhree says  that صُبًّا is pl. of ↓ صَبُوبٌ, and originally صُبُبًا; like as رَجُلٌ صَبٌّ is originally صَبِبٌ; and so says IAmb: but IAar is related to have said that أَسَاوِد means companies, pl. of سَوَادٌ; and صُبًّا, pouring, one upon another, with slaughter: and some say that it is صُبَّى, in measure like حُبْلَى; and it is said to be from صَبَا, [for صَبَا إِلَى الدُّنْيَا,] aor. ـْ meaning “ he inclined to the things of the present world; ” and thus to be like غُزَّى, pl. of غَازٍ: [see صَابٍ, in art. صبو:] IAar used also to say that it is originally صُبَّأً, with ء, [pl. of صَابِئٌ,] from صَبَأً عَلَيْهِ “ he came, or came forth, upon him unexpectedly. ” (L, TA.) صُبَّةٌ A quantity of wheat or food, &c., that is poured out or forth (M, K) together, or collectedly; (M;) also (M, K) sometimes (M) termed ↓ صُبٌّ. (M, K.)

(M.) b3:  See also صُبَابَةٌ, with which it is syn. b4:  Also A company of men: (M, Msb, K:) [app. tropical; but it is said that] this is the primary meaning, and it is used in relation to camels, and sheep or goats, and the like, tropically. (TA.) b5:  (tropical:)  A detached number of horses, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) and of camels, (A, K,) and of sheep or goats, (A, Msb, K,) and of dirhems, or pieces of money: (A:) or from ten to forty: (A, K:) or from twenty to thirty and forty of camels and of sheep or goats: or less than a hundred (M, A, K) of camels: (M, K:) or of camels i. q. صِرْمَةٌ: (S:) and from ten to forty of goats: (Az, S:) or a flock of sheep or a herd of goats, as being likened to a company of men: (TA:) or from twenty to forty of sheep and of goats; or peculiarly of goats: or about fifty: or from sixty to seventy: and of camels about five or six: (IAth, TA:) and a collection of dirhems, or pieces of money, and of wheat, or food, &c.: and a piece of a thing: (Msb:) [or] a small quantity or portion of wealth or property.
