شَغْبٌ

verbal noun of شَغَبَ [q. v. passim]. (S, * A, * K, * TA.)

Also Clamour, or a confusion of cries or shouts or noises: (Ham p. 505:) or much clamour and confused or indistinct speech, leading, or conducing, to evil, or mischief. (Har p. 311.) One says شَغْبُ الجُنْدِ [The clamour, &c., of the army]. (S, and Ham ubi suprà.)

[Hence, apparently, this word, or the next, is used by some postclassical writers as signifying The plaintive cry of the بُلْبُل. (See De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., sec. ed., iii. 500 — 502.)]
