[of the former] يَتَّبِسُ and [of the latter] يَاتَبِسُ , (M,) signifies the same as يَبِسَ : (M, K:) or is quasipass. of ↓ يَبَّسَهُ [and therefore signifies it became dried, or dried up; &c.]; (Ibn-Es-Sarráj, S;) [as also ↓ تيبّس , occurring in the TA, art. عكس .] You say, يَبِسَ النَّبَاتُ [The plant, or herbage, became dry; &c.] (S, K.) And يَبِسَتِ الأَرْضُ The land lost its water and moisture; its water and moisture went away. (M.) ― -b2- [Hence, يَبِسَتْ طَبِيعَتُهُ (assumed tropical:) He became costive. And] يَبِسَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا (tropical:) [That friendship which was between them two became withered; (see 2, and see also ثَرًى ;) i. e.,] they became disunited, each from the other; the bond of friendship that united them, each to the other, became severed; syn. تَقَاطَعَا . (A, TA.) ― -b3- Hence also, (M,) ↓ اِيبَسْ , (so in a copy of the M [agreeably with an explanation of its part. n. يَابِسٌ , q. v., and in a copy of the A written ايْبَسْ ,]) or أَيْبِسْ , [from أَيْبَسَ ,] like أَكْرِمْ , (K,) (tropical:) Be thou silent; or cease thou from speaking: (M, A, K:) said to a man.
