[1] أَبَّ , (T, S, M, &c.,) aor. يَئِبُّ , (M, K,) agreeably with analogy in the case of an intrans. verb of this class, (TA,) and يَؤُبُّ , (AZ, T, S, M, K,) contr. to analogy, (TA,) inf. n. أَبٌّ (T, S, M, K) and أَبِيبٌ (M, K) and أَبَابٌ and أَبَابَةٌ (S, M, K) and إِبَابَةٌ; (M;) and ↓ ٱئْتَبَّ [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَبَّ]; (T, K;) He prepared himself, (AZ, S, M, A, K,) and equipped himself, (AZ, S, A,) for (لِ) departing, or going away, (AZ, S,) or for journeying: (M, A, K:) or he determined upon journeying, and prepared himself. (T.) El-Aashà says, صَرَمْتُ وَلَمْ أَصْرِمْكُمُ وَكَصَارِمٍ أَخٌ قَدْ طَوَى كَشْحًا وَأَبَّ لِيَذْهَبَا (T, S, M, TA,) i. e. I cut [in effect, while I did not really cut] you: for like one who cuts is a brother who has determined and prepared to go away. (TA.) [Hence,] لَا عَبَابَ وَ لَا أَبَابَ, [or لا عَبَابِ ولا أَبَابِ,] a prov. [which see explained in art. عب]. (TA.) [And hence the saying,] هُوَ فِى أَبَابِهِ, (S, M, K,) and أَبَابَتِهِ, and إِبَابَتِهِ, (M,) He is in his [state of, or he is engaged in his,] preparation or equipment [for departing or journeying]. (S, M, K.) The hemzeh in أَبَّ is sometimes changed into و; and thus وَبَّ, inf. n. وَبٌّ, signifies He prepared himself to assault, or charge, in battle.
