رَبِيثٌ

i. q. ↓ مَرْبُوثٌ, (M, K,) Hindered, withheld, &c.: (M, * K:) the former, (T, M,) and the latter also, (M,) applied to an affair, or an event. (T, M.) One says, جَرْيُهُ كَرِيثٌ وَأَمْرُهُ رَبِيثٌ [apparently meaning His running is attended with difficulty, and the accomplishment of his affair is hindered]: (T: [in a copy of the A, as cited in the TA, حِزْبُهُ is put in the place of جَرْيُهُ, which appears to be the right reading, from what here follows:]) and

جَرْىٌ كَرِيثٌ أَمْرُهُ رَبِيثُ

[apparently meaning A running attended with difficulty, the affair of which is hindered]: (M:) كَرِيثٌ is [here] synonym with مَكْرُوثٌ. (T.)
