1.
, (S,) or
طَبْنٌ and
طُبْنٌ and
طِبْنٌ (K) and
طَبَنٌ and
طَبِنٌ (TA) and
طُبَنٌ, (K,) or this last is plural of طُبْنَةٌ, (S, TA,) A certain game, (S, K, TA,) [said to be] played by children, by means of a circular line, [drawn on the ground, (but see what follows,)] and [also] called by them الرَّحَى; (TA;) called in Pers.
سِهْ بَرَهٌ, or سِيدَرَهِ, (according to different copies of the S,) or سِدْرَه, (according to some copies of the K, and the TA, [this and سِيدَرَه being apparently for سِهٌ
دَرَهٌ, which is synonym with سِهْ بَرَهْ,] in a MS. copy of the K سَذْ مَرَهْ, and in the CK سِدْ مَزْه, [both apparently mistranscriptions for سِهْ بَرَهْ,]) i. e. “ having three doors; ” (TA;) [apparently the same that is sometimes called in Pers. سِهْ دَرَكْ;] the game that is called in Turkish طوقورجون [and طُوقُرْجِنْ], and in Arabic called also قرق; (TK;) [i. e. قِرْقٌ, which is said in the K and TA in article قرق to be the game called
سُدَّر; according to an explanation and diagram there given, played by means of twenty-four lines, composed of four squares, or parallelograms, one of these having within it another, the latter having within it another, and this last having within it another; to which are added a line drawn from each angle of the outermost of these to the corresponding angle of the innermost and another line drawn from the middle of each side of the outermost to the middle of the corresponding side of the innermost; within which combination of twenty-four lines they place (يَضَعُونَ, in the CK يَصُفُّونَ,) pebbles.
سُدَّر is evidently from the Pers. سِهْ دَرَهْ: it is said in the TA in article سدر to be also pronounced سِدَّر and سَدَّر, and to be a Pers. term arabicized. Golius, without mentioning any other authority than that of the K, explains طُبَنٌ as follows: “ Pers.
سَدَرَهْ, Turc.
دُقُرْجُنْ اُويُنِى, Græc.
τριώδιον, Trium, vel novem, scruporum ludus. ” Freytag explains the same word as meaning “ Triodii seu trivalli ludus; ” adding a loose rendering of the explanation of قِرْق in the K.]
