رَبِبْتُهُ is a dial. var. [of
رَبَبْ=تُهُ]: (M, K:) he says also that the verb is
used in like manner in relation to the young one
of an animal other than man; and he used to cite
this ex.:
كَانَ لَنَا وَهْوَ فَلُوٌّ نِرْبِبُهْ
[
He belonged to us when he was a young weaned,
or
one-year-old, colt, we rearing him]; with
the letter characteristic of the aor. meksoor, to
show that the second letter of the preterite is
meksoor, accord to the opinion of Sb in respect
of a case of this kind; and this, he says, is peculiar to the dial. of Hudheyl in this species of verb.

a thing
to a state of completion by degrees. (Bd
in i. l.) A poet says, (S,) namely, Hassán
Ibn-Thábit, (TA,)
مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَآءَ صَافِيَةٍ
مِمَّا تَرَبَّبَ ↓ حَائِرُ البَحْرِ
[
Than a white, clear, pearl, of those which the
depth of the sea has brought to maturity]; meaning a pearl which the shell has reared, or brought
to maturity in the bottom of the water. (S, TA.)
And the phrase
