جَعْبَةٌ
1.
A
كِنَانَة [or quiver] (A, K) for arrows (S, A, Mgh, Msb, K) of the kind called
نُشَّاب (S, A, Msb, K) and for those that are called
نَبْل
also: (Ham p. 154:) but some make a distinction between جَعْبَةٌ and كِنَانَةٌ: the former, they say, is for نشّاب; and the latter, for نبل: (Mz, MF:) according to IDrd, the كنانة is only for نبل, and is of leather: that which is of wood is called جَفِير: and that which is of two pieces [of wood] joined together is called قرن [i. e. قَرَنٌ]: (Ham ubi suprà:) according to ISh, the جعبة is round and wide, with a cover on the top, over its mouth: the وَفْضَة is smaller, and its upper and lower parts are of equal size; whereas the جعبة is wide in its upper part, and contracted in its lower part; wide in its upper part that the feathers of the arrows [having ample room] may not become detached; for the arrows are put in the quiver with the points downwards: each of these two kinds is made of two corresponding pieces of wood: (TA:) the plural is جِعَابٌ (S, A, Msb, K) and جَعَبَاتٌ. (Msb.) You say, نَكَبُوا الجِعَابَ وَسَكَبُوا
النُّشَّابَ [They inverted, or inclined, the quivers, and poured forth the arrows]. (A, TA.) And مَعَهُ جَعْبَةٌ فِيهَا بَنَاتُ المَوْتِ [With him is a quiver in which are the daughters of death; i. e., deadly arrows]. (A, TA.)
