ثَابِرٌ

Suffering loss; erring, or going astray; or becoming lost, or perishing; synonym خَاسِرٌ: so in the saying of El-Kumeyt,

مِنْ رَأْىَ مَثْبُورٍ وَثَابِرْ

وَرَأَتْ قُضَاعَةُ فِى الأَيَا

And Kudá'ah, in asserting their relationship to El-Yemen, formed the opinion of one who is made to suffer loss, or to err, &c., and one who is suffering loss, or erring, &c.; مثبور here meaning مَخْسُور. (S.)
