إِبَالَةٌ

Also A bundle of firewood; (T, S, Msb;) and so إِبَّالَةٌ: (T, S:) or a great bundle of firewood; and so أُبَالَةٌ and بُلَةٌ (K) and إِبَّالَةٌ: (Bd in cv. 3; but there explained only as signifying a great bundle:) or a bundle of dry herbage; (M, TA;) and so إِبَّالَةٌ (K) and أَبِيلٌ and أَبِيلَةٌ (M, K) and إِيبَالَةٌ, (K, [in the CK اَيْبَالَة,]) with one of the two ب s changed into ى, and mentioned by Az, but it is said in the S and O that this is not allowable, because this change may not be made in a word of the measure فِعَّالَةٌ, with ة, but only in one without ة, as in the cases of دِينَارٌ and قِيرَاطٌ; (TA;) and وَبِيلَةٌ signifies the same, (K,) belonging to article وبل. (TA.) Hence the prov., (S, TA,) صِغْثٌ عَلَى إِبَالَةٍ and إِبَّالَةٍ, (S, K, &c.,) but the former is the more common, and إِيبَالَةٍ, which is allowed by Az but disallowed by J; (TA;) [lit. A handful of herbage, or the like, upon a bundle, or great bundle, of firewood, or a bundle of dry herbage;] meaning (assumed tropical:) a trial, or trying event, upon another (S, O, K) that had happened before: (S, O:) or plenty (خِصْبٌ) upon plenty; as though bearing two contr. significations. (K.)
