أَبِىٌّ is أَبِيُّونَ; (M, K;) of which an instance occurs wherein the plural ن is likened to a radical ن; the gen. case being written, at the end of a verse, أَبيِينِ: (M:) the plural of

And ابِيَةٌ, (M,) so in some copies of the K, but in others
أَبِيَّةٌ, (TA,) She [apparently a camel] that dislikes, or loathes, and will not drink, water: and she that desires not the evening-food: and she (a camel) that is covered and does not conceive, or become pregnant: (M, K:) and أَوَابٍ, [its plural,] she-camels that refuse, or refrain from, the stallion. (TA. [See also أَبِىٌّ.]) It is said in a prov., العَاشِيَةٌ تَهِيجُ الابِيَةَ [She that is eating her eveningfood, or pasturing in the evening, excites her that has no desire for that food]; i. e., when the camels that desire not the evening-food see the camels eating that food, they follow them, and pasture with them. (M, and so in the S in article عشو.)
