شَارِبٌ
1.
Drinking, or a drinker: plural شَارِبُونَ (Msb) and
شَرْبٌ, like as صَحْبٌ is of صَاحِبٌ, (S, Msb,) or, according to ISd, (TA,) شَرْبٌ, which signifies people drinking, (K, TA,) and assembling for drinking, is a quasi.-plural n. of شَارِبٌ, being like رَكْبٌ and رَجْلٌ; and شُرُوبٌ, which is said by IAar [and in the S] to be plural of شَرْبٌ, is plural of شَارِبٌ, like as شُهُودٌ is of شَاهِدٌ; (TA;) شَرَبَةٌ also is allowable as a plural of شَارِبٌ, like as كَفَرَةٌ is plural of كَافِرٌ; (Msb;) and أَشْرُبٌ is plural of شَرْبٌ, or it may be an anomalous plural of شَارِبٌ: (MF:) the plural شُرُوب occurs in the saying of El-Aashà,
[He is the giver of female singers to the drinkers, some clad in silk and some in linen]. (S.)هُوَ الوَاهِبُ المُسْمِعَاتِ الشُّرُوبَ بَيْنَ الحَرِيرِ وَبَيْنَ الكَتَنْ

[Hence, The mustache; i. e.] the defluent hair over the mouth; (Msb;) or so شَوَارِبُ, (Lh, A, K,) which is the plural, (Lh, S, Msb,) as though the sing, applied to every distinct part: (Lh:) the two [halves] are called شَارِبَانِ: (S, TA:) or, as some say, only the singular is used, and the dual is a mistake: (TA:) according to AHát (Msb, TA) and AAF, (TA,) the dual is is scarcely ever, or never, used; but according to AO, the Kilábees say شَارِبَانِ, with regard to the two extremities: (Msb, TA:) and the plural, (A, K,) or, according to the T &c., the dual, (TA,) signifies the long portions [of the hair] on the two sides of the
سَبَلَة [q. v.]: (T, A, K, TA:) or (K, TA) شَارِبٌ signifies the سَبَلَة
altogether, (A, K, TA,) as some say; but this is not correct. (TA.) One says, طَرَّ شَارِبُ الغُلَامِ [The mustache of the boy, or young man, grew forth]. (S.)

And hence, as being likened to the two long portions of hair on each side of the سَبَلَة, the شَارِبَانِ of the sword, (T, TA,) i. e. (tropical:) Two long projections (أَنْفَانِ طَوِيلَانِ) at the lower part of the hilt, (A, * K, TA,) [extending from the guard,] one on one side and the other on the other side of the blade, (T, * TA,) the
غَاشِيَة [or leathern covering of the scabbard] being beneath them: so says ISh. (TA.)
5.
الشَّوَارِبُ also signifies (tropical:) The
عُرُوق [or ducts] of the
حُلْقُوم [or windpipe]: (A:) or certain ducts (عُرُوق) in the
حَلْق [i. e. fauces or throat], (K, TA,) that imbibe the water [or saliva?], being the channels thereof: (TA:) and, (K,) or, as some say, (TA,) the channels of the water [or saliva?] (S, K, TA) in the
حَلْق [i. e. fauces or throat] (S) or in the neck: (K, TA:) or certain ducts (عُرُوق) adhering to the windpipe, and the lower parts thereof to the lungs: so says IDrd: or rather, some say, the hinder part thereof [adhering] to the
وَتِين [or aorta], having tubes from which the voice issues, and in which choking takes place, and whence the saliva issues: and those of the horse are said to be [certain ducts] by the side of the
أَوْدَاج [or external jugular veins], where the veterinary surgeon draws blood by cutting the
اوداج: the singular seems by implication to be شَارِبٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase حِمَارٌ صَخِبُ الشَّوَارِبِ (assumed tropical:) An ass that brays vehemently. (S, TA.) And صَخِبُ الشَّوَارِبِ (tropical:) [A man] having a disagreeable voice: thus likened to an ass. (A, TA.)

8.
Also (assumed tropical:) Weakness, or feebleness, in any animal: (K, * TA:) or a strain (عِرْق) thereof; as in the saying, نِعْمَ البَعِيرُ هٰذَا لَوْلَا
أَنَّ فِيهِ شَارِبَ خَوَرٍ (assumed tropical:) [Excellent, or most excellent, were the camel, this one, were there not in him a strain of weakness or feebleness]. (TA.)
