From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root خيب. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

خَابَ خاب , (S, A, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. يَخِيبُ (Msb, K) and يَخُوبُ , (TA,) inf. n. خَيْبَةٌ , (S, Msb, K,) He (a man, S) was disappointed of attaining what he desired or sought; was balked; was unsuccessful; failed of attaining his desire: (S, Msb, K:) he was denied, refused, prohibited from attaining, or debarred from, what he desired or sought. (A, K.) You say, مَنْ هَابَ خَابَ [He who fears will be disappointed]. (A, TA.) And خَابَ سَعْيُهُ وَأَمَلُهُ [His labour, and his hope, or expectation, resulted in disappointment; were disappointed, balked, or frustrated;] he attained not what he sought or desired. (A, TA.) [See also خَيْبَةٌ , below.] ― -b2- Also He suffered loss. (K.) ― -b3- And i. q. كَفَرَ [He disbelieved; or be came an unbeliever, or infidel; &c.]. (K.)

خيّبهُ خيب خيبه خيبة , (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَخْيِيبٌ , (S,) He (God, A, Msb, K, or a man, S) disappointed him; or caused him to be disappointed of at taining what he desired or sought, to be balked, to be unsuccessful, or to fail of attaining his desire: (S, Msb:) he denied him, refused him, prohibited him from attaining, or debarred him from, that which he desired or sought. (A, K.)

خَيْبَةٌ خيب خيبه خيبة inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, Msb, K.) It is said in a prov., (S, Msb, K,) الهَيْبَةٌ خَيْبَةٌ [Fear is a cause of disappointment]. (S, A, Msb, K.) And one says, خَيْبَةً لِزَيْدٍ [May God send dis appointment to Zeyd], and خَيْبَةٌ لِزَيْدٍ [Disappointment be to, or befall, Zeyd]: (S, K:) خيبة in the former instance being in the accus. case as governed by a verb understood; and in the latter, in the nom. case as an inchoative: (S:) each being a form of imprecation. (K.)

قَدْحٌ خَيَّابٌ قدح خياب (tropical:) [An endeavour to produce fire with a زَنْد ] that does not produce fire ( لَايُورِى ). (A, K. * [In some copies of the K, for قَدْح , we find قِدْح . Golius explains خَيَّابٌ as meaning ignitabulum fallens, quod non excudit semina ignis: but I cannot anywhere find قَدْحٌ or قِدْحٌ in the sense which he assigns to one of these words, which is that of مِقْدَحَةٌ &c.]) ― -b2- In the following verse, quoted by Th, اُسْكُتْ وَلَا تَنْطِقْ فَأَنْتَ خَيَّابْ كُلُّكَ ذُو عَيْبٍ وَأَنْتَ عَيَّابٌ حيّاب may be [an epithet] of the measure فَعَّال from الخَيْبَةُ ; [so that the meaning may be (assumed tropical:) Be thou silent, and speak not, for thou art habitually unsuccessful; thou art altogether vitious, or faulty, and thou art a great imputer of vices, or faults, to others;] or the person there men tioned may be meant to be likened to the قدح above mentioned. (TA.) ― -b3- One says also, سَعْيُهُ فِى خَيَّابِ بْنِ هَيَّابٍ (tropical:) His labour [has ended, or ends, or will end,] in loss. (A, K.)

خَايءِبٌ part. n. of 1. (Msb, TA.) -A2- خَايءِبِكَ and بِخَايءِبِكَ : see خَا=ءَ بِكَ in art. خوأ .

قِدْحٌ أَخْيَبُ (assumed tropical:) An arrow of those employed in the game called المَيْسِر , to which no lot, or portion, pertains: for there are three such arrows; namely, the مَنِيح , the سَفِيح , and the وَغْد : occurring in a trad. of 'Alee. (TA.)

وَقَعُوا فِى وَادِى تُخُيِّبَ وقعوا في وادي تخيب , (Ks, S, A, K, but in the last وَقَعَ ,) and تُخَيِّبَ , (A, K,) the last word being imperfectly decl. [in each of these instances], (Ks, S, A, K,) meaning فِى البَاطِلِ [i. e. They fell into that which was vain, unreal, nought, futile, or the like, and consequently, into disappointment], (Ks, S, K,) or فى بَاطِلٍ [into a state of things that was vain, &c.]. (A.)
