سِخَابٌ

A necklace (قِلَادَة) made of [the composition termed] سُكّ and of other things, without any jewels: (S:) or a قِلَادَة of cloves and سُكّ and مَحْلَب [q. v.], without jewels, (A, K, TA,) and without pearls: and likewise, of gold: and of silver: or, according to Az, it is, with the Arabs, any قِلَادَة, whether with jewels or without: according to IAth, a string on which are strung beads, worn by boys and by girls: (TA:) it is thus called because of the sound of its beads when in motion: (MF, TA:) plural سُخُبٌ. (S, K.) [Hence] one says, وَجَدْتُكَ وَارِثَ السِّخَابِ [I have found thee to be the inheritor of the سخاب], meaning, (tropical:) like the boy that has no knowledge. (A, TA.)
