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

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,) He tarried; paused; tarried and waited or expected; was patient, and tarried and waited or expected: (S, K:) he tarried; remained; stayed; stopped; paused; (ISd, Msb;) as also ↓ تلبّث ; (Msb;) بِمَكَانٍ in a place: (ISd, Msb:) or ↓ تلبّث signifies he waited; or paused; syn. تَوَقَّفَ (K) ― -b2- مالَبِثَ أَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا He delayed not, or was not slow, to do, or in doing, such and such things.
