(Msb.) [It is said that] ↓ اِحْتِبَاكٌ is also synonym with اِحْتِبَاءٌ, on the authority of As: (S:) [i. e., that] احتبك is synonym with احتبى: (Msb:) [and that] احتبك بِإِزَارِهِ signifies احتبى, (K,) or احتبى بِهِ وَ شَدَّهُ إِلَى يَدَيْهِ: so says Aboo-' Obeyd, as on the authority of As: but Az says that this is a mistake: that what As said was, that الاحتياك, with ى, is synonym with الاحتباء, as ISk relates.

(Az, TA.)

[In the present day, حَبَكَ also signifies He sewed the leaves of a book: and he bound a book.]
