عبط عبق عبقر


1. ⇒ عبق

[عَبِقَ بِهِ الطِّيبُ, aor. ـَ {يَعْبَقُ},] inf. n. عَبَقٌ (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ) and عَبَاقِيَةٌ (Ṣ, O, Ḳ) and عَبَاقَةٌ, (O, Ḳ,) The perfume clung to him, or it, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Ḳ, TA,) and remained; and so عَسِقَ به; (TA;) and the odour of the perfume clung to him, or it: (Mgh:) or the odour of the perfume was, or became, perceptible in his garment or his person: and it is said to relate only to fragrant odour. (Mṣb.)

Root: عبق - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

And in like manner one says of a garment, عَبِقَ بِالجِسْمِ [It clung to the body]. (TA.) And عَبِقَ الشَّىْءُ بِغَيْرِهِ The thing clave, or kept, to another. (Mṣb.) And عَبِقَ الشَّىْءُ بِقَلْبِىThe thing stuck to my heart. (TA.) And عَبِقَ بِالمَكَانِ He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place. (O, Ḳ.) And عَبِقَ بِهِHe became attached to him, or it.

2. ⇒ عبّق

التَّعْبِيقُ signifies التَّذْكِيَةُ [used in relation to wine, app. as meaning The becoming old; though the latter word, thus used, is probably tropical]. (O, Ḳ.) 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd says, describing wine,

* صَانَهَا التَّاجِرُ اليَهُودِىُّ حَوْلَيْ *
* نِ فَأَذْكَى مِنْ نَشْرِهَا التَّعْبِيقُ *

[which seems to be cited as meaning, The Jewish merchant kept it two years, and the becoming old enhanced its fragrance: but I think that the last word may be more properly rendered the making it to remain long in its jar]. (O.)


Q. Q. 3. ⇒ اِعْبَنْقَى

اِعْبَنْقَى He (a man, Ṣ) became cunning, or very cunning: (صَارَ دَاهِيَةً: Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) or became evil in disposition: (Ḳ:) and in like manner signifies اِبْعَنْقَى. (TA.)
