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

زَبَدَهُ , (As, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. زَبُدَ , (As, S, A, Msb,) inf. n. زَبْدٌ , (As, Msb,) He fed him with, or gave him to eat, زُبْد [i. e. fresh butter]. (As, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K.) ― -b2- And hence, (Mgh,) زَبَدَهُ , (As, S, A, Mgh, Msb,) or زَبَدَ لَهُ , (K, [app. a mistranscription, for its aor. is there mentioned immediately after without the prep.,]) aor. زَبِدَ , (As, S, A, Mgh, Msb, K,) the verb in the sense here following being thus distinguished from that in the sense preceding, (As, Msb,) inf. n. as above, (As, S, Mgh,) (tropical:) He gave him a gift: (As, A, Mgh, Msb:) or he gave him somewhat, a little, not much, (S, K,) of property, (S,) or of his property. (K.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] زَبَدْتُهُ ضَرْبَةً , or رَمْيَةً , (tropical:) I struck him a blow, or shot or cast at him a missile, hastily, or quickly; as though feeding him with a piece of fresh butter. (A, TA.) ― -b4- زَبَدَتْ سِقَا=ءَهَا , (S, A,) or زَبَدَ السِّقَا=ءَ , (K,) inf. n. as above, (A,) She agitated her milk-skin, (S, A,) or he agitated the milk-skin, (K,) in order that its butter might come forth, (S, K,) or until its butter came forth. (A.) ― -b5- And زَبَدْتُ السَّوِيقَ [app. I put, or added, fresh butter to the meal of parched barley, like as one says سَمَنْتُ الطَّعَامَ and أَدَمْتُ الخُبْزَ &c.], aor. أَزْبِدُهُ , (A, TA,) with kesr; (A;) and السَّوِيقَ ↓ تَزَبَّدْتُ . (TA. [Both these phrases are mentioned together, as though to indicate that both signify the same: but Ibr D thinks that the latter means I swallowed the سويق like as one swallows fresh butter: in my copy of the A, it is written تَزَبَّدَتِ السَّوِيقُ , which is evidently wrong: perhaps the right reading is تَزَبَّدَ السَّوِيقُ ; and the verb in this phrase, quasi-pass. of that in the former phrase.]

زبّد شِدْقُهُ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَزْبِيدٌ ; (K;) and ↓ تزبّد ; both signify the same [i. e. The side of his mouth had froth, or foam, appearing upon it; like زَبَّبَ and تَزَبَّبَ ]: (S, K:) and ↓ تزبّد said of a man, [like تَزَبَّبَ ,] He being angry, froth, or foam, appeared upon each corner of his mouth. (TA.) See also 4, in two places. -A2- زَبَّدَتِ القُطْنَ , (A, L,) inf. n. as above, (S,) She separated, or loosened, the cotton [with her fingers, or by means of the bow and wooden mallet], (S, * L, A,) and prepared it well for spinning. (L.)

فُلَانٌ يُزَابِدُ فُلَانًا (tropical:) Such a one speaks in like manner as does such a one. (A, TA.)

ازبد , (S, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِزْبَادٌ , (Msb,) said of wine, or beverage, (S,) or of the sea, (A, Msb, K,) &c., (Msb,) or of the sea when in a state of commotion, (S, * A,) and of a cookingpot, and of the mouth of a braying camel, (A,) [&c., see زَبَدٌ ,] It frothed, or foamed, or cast forth froth or foam: (S, * A, Msb, K:) and [in like manner] ↓ زبّد , inf. n. تَزْبِيدٌ , said of milk, it [frothed, or foamed; or] had froth, or foam, upon it. (A.) ― -b2- [Hence,] said of the سِدْر [or lote-tree], (S, A, K,) (tropical:) It blossomed; (S, K, TA;) i. e. (TA) it put forth a white produce like the froth, or foam, upon water. (A, TA.) And, said of the قَتَادِ [or tragacantha], (assumed tropical:) It put forth its leaf ( خُوصَة ), and its wood, or branch, became strong, or hard, and its rind, or outer covering, coalesced, and it blossomed; as also ↓ زبّد . (L.) ― -b3- Also (tropical:) It became intensely white. (A, TA.)

تَزَبَّدَ see 1: ― -b2- and see also 2, in two places. ― -b3- تزبّدهُ (assumed tropical:) He swallowed it (K) like as one swallows a piece of fresh butter: (TA:) or he took the clear, or pure, or choice, part of it. (K, TA.) Of anything of which the clear, or pure, or choice part has been taken, one says, تُزُبِّدَ . (TA.) ― -b4- [Hence,] تزبّد اليَمِينَ (assumed tropical:) He took the oath hastily; was hasty in taking it. (AA, S, K.) It is said in a prov., تَزَبَّدَهَا حَذَّا=ءَ (assumed tropical:) He swallowed it [i. e. took it, namely, an oath, hastily,] like as one swallows butter. (TA in art. حذ .)

زَبْدٌ [originally an inf. n.,] (tropical:) A gift. (S, A, Mgh, Msb.) So in the saying (S, TA) of Mo- hammad, (TA,) mentioned in a trad., اـِنَّا لَا نَقْبَلُ زَبْدَ المُشْرِكِينَ (tropical:) [Verily we will not accept the gift of the believers in a plurality of Gods]. (S, TA.) And so in the saying, نَهَى عَنْ زَبْدِ المُشْرِكِينَ (tropical:) (A, Mgh, Msb) i. e. [He (Mohammad) forbade] the acceptance of the gift [of the believers in a plurality of Gods]. (Msb.)

زُبْدٌ [Fresh butter of the cow or buffalo or sheep or goat;] what is produced by churning from milk (Mgh, Msb) of cows [or buffaloes] and of sheep or goats; what is thus produced from camels' milk being termed جُبَابٌ , not زُبْدٌ ; (Msb;) the زُبْد of سَمْن before it is clarified over the fire; (L;) [i. e. butter before it is clarified over the fire;] the زُبْد [in the CK, erroneously, زَبَد ] of milk; (S, K;) what is extracted from milk; (M;) and ↓ زُبَّادٌ signifies the same as زُبْدٌ : (K:) ↓ زُبْدَةٌ is a more particular term, (S, M, L, Msb,) meaning a piece, bit, portion, or somewhat, of زُبْد : (L:) and زُبْدُ اللَّبَنِ signifies also the froth ( رَغْوَة ) of milk [if this be not a mistake occasioned by finding الزُّبْدُ expl. as meaning زَبَدُ اللَّبَنِ instead of زُبْدُ اللَّبَنِ ]. (L.) قَدْ صَرَّحَ المَحْضُ عَنِ الزُّبْدِ [The clear milk has become distinct from the fresh butter] is a prov., relating to the appearance of the truth after information that has been doubted. (L.) And ↓ اِرْتَجَنَتِ الزُّبْدَةُ is another prov. [expl. in art. رجن ]. (L.) ― -b2- ↓ زُبْدَةٌ has for its pl. زُبَدٌ , which is metonymically applied to (tropical:) The choice, or best, portions, [or what we often term the cream (by which word the sing. also may be rendered) of anything; as, for instance,] of discourse, or of a story or the like. (Har p. 222, q. v.) ― -b3- [And it also means (assumed tropical:) An issue, or event: (see an ex. voce مَخَضَ :) generally, such as is relishable, or pleasing. Hence, app.,] one says, العُمُرِ ↓ كَانَ لِقَاوءُكَ زُبْدَةَ (tropical:) [The meeting with thee was emphatically the event of life; meaning, the most relishable, or pleasing, event of life]. (A, TA.)

زَبَدٌ Froth, foam, spume, or scum: (L:) it is of water, (S, L, K,) &c.; (K;) of the sea, (A, Msb,) &c., like رَغْوَةٌ [in signification]; (Msb;) and of a cooking-pot; (A;) and of a camel, (S,) [i. e.] of a braying camel's mouth, (A,) or the white foam upon the lips of a camel when he is excited by lust; (TA;) and of the cud; and of spittle; (L;) and [the scum, or dross,] of silver: (S:) ↓ زَبَدَةٌ is a more particular term [meaning a portion, or somewhat, thereof]: (S:) the pl. of زَبَدٌ is أَزْبَادٌ . (A, TA.) ― -b2- تَخَرَّمَ زَبَدُهُ : see 5 in art. خرم , in two places.

زُبْدَةٌ : see زُبْدٌ , in four places.

زُبْدِىٌّ [Butyraceous: a rel. n. from زُبْدٌ ]. See خَشْخَاشٌ .

زَبَادٌ [Civet;] a certain perfume, well known: the lawyers and the lexicologists err in saying that it is a certain beast, [meaning the civet-cat,] from which the perfume is milked: (K:) or this assertion is not to be reckoned as a mistake, the word being tropically thus applied: so says El- Karáfee: and Z and other authors worthy of confidence thus apply it [as a coll. gen. n.]: Z also mentions a saying in which ↓ زَبَادَةٌ is applied [as a n. un.] to an animal of the kind from which the perfume is obtained: (TA:) this animal is the cat, (K,) i. e. the wild cat, which is like the tame, but longer and larger, and its hair inclines more to blackness: it is brought from India and Abyssinia: (TA:) the perfume above mentioned is a fluid, or matter, exuded, ( رَشَحٌ , thus in the TA and in my MS. copy of the K, but in the CK وَسَخٌ [i. e. dirt],) resembling black viscous dirt, (TA,) which collects beneath the animal's tail, upon the anus ( المَخْرَج ), (K,) and in the inner sides of the thighs also, as says Ed-Demámeenee: (TA:) [see also زُهْمٌ :] the beast is taken, and prevented from struggling, and the said exuded fluid or matter, or dirt, ( رَشَح , or وَسَخ , accord. to different copies of the K,) collected there, is scraped off with a piece of the exterior part of a cane, (K,) or, more commonly, with a spoon, (TA,) or with a piece of rag, (K,) or a thin [silver coin such as is called] دِرْهَم . (TA. [Other accounts of this perfume, which are less correct, I omit.]) -A2- See also زُبَّادٌ .

زُبَادٌ , like غُرَابٌ [in measure], Fresh butter ( زُبْد ) that has become bad, or spoiled, in the churning: or, as some say, thin milk. (TA voce اِخْتَلَطَ , q. v.) [See also زُبَّادُ اللَّبَن , below.]

زَبَادَةٌ : see زَبَادٌ .

زُبَّادُ اللَّبَنِ [The watery part of milk;] that [part] in which is no good, of milk. (S, K. [See also زُبَادٌ .]) It is said in a prov., اِخْتَلَطَ الخَاثِرُ بِالزُّبَّادِ (S) [The thick milk became mixed with the thin watery part: or] (tropical:) the good became mixed with the bad: relating to a case of difficulty, and applied to the mixture of truth with falsehood. (L. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., i. 434: and see اِخْتَلَطَ .]) ― -b2- See also زُبْدٌ . -A2- زُبَّادٌ and ↓ زُبَّادَى A certain plant, (S, K,) growing in the plains, or soft land, having broad leaves, and a [pericarp such as is called] سِنْفَة : it sometimes grows in hard ground, is eaten by men, and is good, or pleasant: AHn says that it has small, contracted, dust-coloured leaves, like those of the مَرْزَنْجُوش , and its branches, or twigs, spread out: and he adds, AZ says that the زُبَّاد , as also ↓ زَبَاد , the latter like سَحَاب [in measure], is of the [kind of plants called] أَحْرَار [pl. of حُرٌّ , q. v.]: (TA:) [some say that it is the psyllium. (Freytag's Lex.) See, again, اِخْتَلَطَ .]

زُبَّادَى : see the next preceding paragraph.

زَابِدٌ Possessing, or a possessor of, زُبْد [or fresh butter]; (L;) as also ↓ مُزْدَبِدٌ . (K.)

بَحْرٌ مُزْبِدٌ [A frothing, or foaming, sea; or] a tumultuous, frothing, or foaming, sea. (S, A.) ― -b2- [Hence,] أَبْيَضُ مُزْبِدٌ (tropical:) Intensely white. (A, TA.)

مُزْدَبِدٌ : see زَابِدٌ .
