شَرَابٌ

A beverage, or drink, (Mgh, L, Msb, K,) of any of the liquids, (Mgh, Msb,) or of anything that is not chewed, (L,) or of whatever kind and in whatever state it be; thus in a copy of the K: (TA:) and synonym with شَرَابٌ are ↓ شَرِيبٌ and ↓ شَرُوبٌ, (K,) according to a saying attributed to AZ: (TA:) or these two have another meaning, explained in the next paragraph: (K:) the plural of شَرَابٌ is أَشْرِبَةٌ; (Mgh, TA;) or it has no plural, as is said in the K in article نهر [according to one or more of the copies; but see نَهَارٌ, where it is shown that in copies of the K, as well as in the S, the word to which this statement relates is سَرَابٌ, with the unpointed س]. (TA.) The lawyers [and generally the post-classical writers, and sometimes others,] mean thereby [Win, and] such beverage as is forbidden. (Mgh.) [Also Sirup: plural شَرَابَاتٌ: so in the language of the present day.]
