, aor. يَوْرَبُ, inf. n. وَرَبٌ, It, or he, (a root, origin, or stock, S, or a man, TA,) was, or became, corrupt. (S, K.)

, inf. n. تَوْرِيبٌ, [app., He expressed himself respecting a thing equivocally, or ambiguously, by words objectionable in one sense, and allowable in another: so thinks IbrD:] the inf. n. is thus explained: أَنْ تُوَرِّىَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ بِالمُعَارَضَاتِ وَالمُبَاحَاتِ. (T, K, but in the latter, the و before the last word is omitted.)

, inf. n. مُوَارَبَةٌ He strove to outwit, deceive, beguile, or circumvent [another]: syn. دَاهَى and خَاتَلَ. (K.) Accord. to IAth, it is from الوَرَبُ “ the being corrupt: ” or it may be from الارب “ intelligence, &c.; ” the أ being changed into و. The latter is the opinion of AM. (L.) ― -b2- One of the sages says, مُوَارَبَةُ الأَرِيبِ جَهْلٌ وَعَنَاءٌ [The striving to outwit the cunning, or intelligent, or sagacious, is ignorance and labour without profit]. (TA.) [See art. أرب, where this saying, but with موأاربة in the place of مواربة, is given as a trad.] ― -b3- It is said in a trad., إِنْ بَايَعْتَهُمْ وَارَبُوكَ, i. e., خَادَعُوكَ, If thou buy and sell with them, they will deceive thee, or endeavour to deceive the. (IAth.)

The hole of a wild beast: pl. أَوْرَابٌ. (K, TA.) ― -b2- وَرْبٌ The space between two ribs; مَا بَيْنَ الضِّلَعَيْنِ: (K:) but this (says SM) I find not in any other book than the K; and probably it should be ما بين إِصْبَعَيْنِ the space between two fingers; for we read in the L that ورب is said to signify مابين الأَصَابِعِ: (TA:) pl. أَوْرَابٌ. (K, TA.) [See also أَرْبٌ.] ― -b3- وَرْبٌ The space measured by the extension of the thumb and forefinger; syn. فِتْرٌ: pl. أَوْرَابٌ. (K, TA.) -A2- وَرْبٌ A member; a limb: pl. أَوْرَابٌ. (K, TA.) ↓ وِرْبٌ [also] is a dial. from of إِرْبٌ, (K,) as signifying “ a member, or limb. ” (TA.) The form of word commonly known, says AM, is إِرْبٌ; but I do not deny that ورب may be a dial. form, like as وِرْثٌ and إِرْثٌ are two words whereof one is a dial. form of the other. (TA.) ― -b2- وَرْبٌ and ↓ وَرْبَةٌ The podex: syn. إِسْتٌ: pl. of the former أَوْرَابٌ. (K, TA.) ― -b3- ↓ وَرْبَةٌ The pit, or hollow, that is in the lower part of the side, i. e., the hypochondre, or flank. (TA.) ― -b4- وَرْبٌ The mouth of the hole of a rat, or mouse, (فَأْرَة,) and of a scorpion: pl. أَوْرَابٌ. (K.)
