زِرْبٌ

Also A channel in which water flows; (K;) and so زَرْبٌ. (TA.) It is said in a rejez of Kaab,

تَبِيتُ بَيْنَ الزِّرْبِ وَالكَنِيفِ

She passes the night between the channel of water and the concealing, or protecting, place: meaning that she is fed in the enclosures for camels &c., [فِى الحظايءر, thus I read for الحضايءر (an evident mistranscription) in the TA,] and among the tents, or houses; not in the pasture-land. (TA.)
