not in the copy of the K used by SM) and
صَبِغَ ,
(Fr, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. صَبْغٌ (S, O, Msb, K)
and صِبَغٌ (As, O, K) and صِبَغَةٌ, (AHn, TA,) [of
which last, صِبْغَةٌ (q. v.), also said to be an inf. n.,
is perhaps a contraction, or, as is said in the Ksh
ii. 132, it means a mode, or manner, of صَبْغ,]
He dyed it, or coloured it; (K TA;) namely,
a garment, or piece of cloth; (S, O, Msb, TA;)

[It is said that] the primary meaning of الصَّبْغُ
in the language of the Arabs is The altering
[a thing]: and hence صُبِغَ الثَّوْبُ, meaning The
garment, or piece of cloth, was altered in colour
to blackness or redness or yellowness [&c.].

صَبُغَ , inf. n.
صَبْغٌ, (assumed tropical:) He moistened the mouthful with oil or
grease [or any kind of صِبْغ i. e. sauce & c.]; and
he dipped it, or immersed it; and in like manner
any other thing. (TA.) [Thus] one says, صَبَغَ
يَدَهُ بِالمَآءِ (As, O, K) and فِى المَآءِ (TA) (tropical:) He
dipped, or immersed, his hand, or arm, in the
water. (As, O, K, TA.) And صَبَغَتِ النَّاقَةُ

2-b3- [Hence also,] the term صَبْغٌ is used by the
Christians as meaning (assumed tropical:) The dipping, or immersing, of their children, [i. e. baptizing them,]
in water. (Az, S, * TA.) One says, صَبَغَ وَلَدَهُ

preceding sentence) and] صِبْغَةٌ, (assumed tropical:) He introduced
his child into the Christian communion, it is said,
by dipping, or immersing, him in the water of
baptism. (TA.) And صَبَغَ وَلَدَهُ فِى اليَهُودِيَّةِ (assumed tropical:) He
introduced his child into the Jewish communion
[probably by baptism combined with circumcision:
but see صِبْغَةٌ, an explanation of which seems to
indicated that circumcision alone is meant in this
case]. (TA.) ―

―
2-b5- And صَبَغُوهُ فِى عَيْنِهِ (assumed tropical:) They altered him in his

altered from the state in which he was. (TA.)
And it is said that صَبَغُونِى فِى عَيْنِكَ and صَبَغُونِى
عِنْدَكَ mean They pointed me out to thee as one
who would accomplish what thou desiredst of me;
from the saying of the Arabs, صَبَغْتُ الرَّجُلَ بِعَيْنِى
and بِيَدِى I pointed at the man with my eye and
with my hand: (O, K: *) but Az says that this is
a mistake; that the Arabs when they mean thus
say صَبَعْتُ, with the unpointed ع. (O.) ―

says also, صَبَغَ يَدَهُ بِالعِلْمِ, (Msb,) or بِفَنٍّ مِنَ
