تلازب التَّمْرُ The dates stuck together. (L, art. نضح .)

لَزْبٌ Strait; narrow; difficult. E. g. عَيْشٌ لَزْبٌ A strait, or difficult life. (TA.)

لِزْبٌ A narrow road, or way. (K.)

لَزَبٌ immediately following عَزَبٌ , (in the CK, غَرَبٌ ,) [meaning a man “ who has no wife, ”] is an imitative sequent [used by way of pleonasm and corroboration]. (K.) So likewise لَزَبَةٌ after عَزَبَةٌ . (Ibn-Buzruj.)

لَزِبٌ Little in quantity or number: pl. لِزَابٌ . (K.) E. g. مَاءٌ لَزِبٌ Little water. (TA.)

لَزْبَةٌ Adversity; difficulty; distress; (S, K;) drought: (S:) pl. لِزَبٌ (IJ, K: in the CK لَزْبٌ ) and لَزْبَاتٌ : (S, K:) the latter with the ز quiescent, because it is [originally] an epithet. (S.) E. g. أَصَابَتْهُمْ لَزْبَةٌ Distress and drought befell them. (S.) ― -b2- سَنَةٌ لَزْبَةٌ A severe year; a year of drought. (TA.)

لَازِبٌ Adhering, or adhesive, or cohesive, clay or mud. (S.) ― -b2- Being, or remaining, fixed, settled, firm, or constant. (S.) ― -b3- صَارَ الشَّىْءُ ضَرْبَةَ لَازِبٍ The thing became fixed, settled, firm, or constant, (S, K,) and severe: (TA:) [or, a constant infliction:] or, indispensable, or necessary: i. e., the blow of a sword that sticks, or remains fixed, [in the wound]. (Aboo-Bekr, cited in the TA.) لازب is here the same as لازم : (K:) the latter is the original word; the م being changed into ب ; and is also used in this phrase: (TA:) but لازب , in this in- stance, is the more chaste. (S.) En-Nábighah says, فَلَا تَحْسِبُونَ الخَيْرَ لَا شَرَّ بَعْدَهُ وَلَا تَحْسِبُونَ الشَّرَّ ضَرْبَةَ لَازِبِ [Then think ye not that good shall have no evil after it, nor think ye that evil shall be a constant infliction]. (S.) Sgh says, of the conversion of رِوَاغَةٌ into رِيَاغَةٌ , or of و into ى because of kesreh before it, هٰذَا القَلْبُ لَيْسَ بِضَرْبٍ لَازِبٍ [This conversion is not a necessary sort.] (TA in art. روغ .)

مِلْزَابٌ Very avaricious; tenacious, or niggardly: (S, K:) pl. مَلَازِيبُ . (S.)
