(TA. [See more in the first paragraph {1} of art. تبن.])

طَبِنَ لَهَا, in which the pronoun refers to a woman, a phrase occurring in a trad., is expl. as meaning He apprehended what was the state, or disposition, of her mind, and that she was one who would comply with the endeavour to seduce her: or, accord. to Sh, it is طَبَنَ لَهَا, like ضَرَبَ, and means he deceived her, or corrupted her, and beguiled her: accord. to Az, طَبِنْتُ بِهِ, aor. ـَ {يَطْبَنُ}, inf. n. طَبِنٌ; and طَبَنْتُ, aor. ـِ {يَطْبِنُ}, inf. n. طَبَانَةٌ; signify I deceived him, or deluded him.

طَبْنٌ A numerous collection or body (Ḳ, TA) of men; (TA;) as alsoطَبَنٌ↓. (Ḳ, TA. [Freytag adds طِبْنٌ and طُبْنٌ in this sense; but they are mentioned in the Ḳ as syns. of طَبْنٌ meaning a certain game: and Golius adds, instead of these two, طِبِنٌ and طُبُنٌ, which are altogether wrong.])

And one says, مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ الطَّبْنِ هُوَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,*) meaning أَىُّ النَّاسِ هُوَ [i. e. I know not what one of mankind he is]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) and so أَىُّ الطَّبْلِ هُوَ. (Ṣ and O in art. طبل.)

الطِّبْنُ also signifies What the wind brings, [or bears along,] of firewood [app. meaning of fragments thereof], and النَّمَش: [but this seems to be a mistranscription; for it is immediately added,] and sometimes the house (البيت) that is built, or constructed, therewith is thus called. (TA.)

طُبْنَةٌ, (Ṣ,) orطَبْنٌ↓ andطُبْنٌ↓ andطِبْنٌ↓ (Ḳ) andطَبَنٌ↓ andطَبِنٌ↓ (TA) andطُبَنٌ↓, (Ḳ,) or this last is pl. of طُبْنَةٌ, (Ṣ, TA,) A certain game, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) [said to be] played by children, by means of a circular line, [drawn on the ground, (but see what follows,)] and [also] called by them الرَّحَى; (TA;) called in Pers. سِهْ بَرَهٌ, or سِيدَرَهِ, (accord. to different copies of the Ṣ,) or سِدْرَه, (accord. to some copies of the Ḳ, and the TA, [this and سِيدَرَه being app. for سِهٌ دَرَهٌ, which is syn. with سِهْ بَرَهْ,] in a MṢ. copy of the Ḳ سَذْ مَرَهْ, and in the CK سِدْ مَزْه, [both app. mistranscriptions for سِهْ بَرَهْ,]) i. e. “having three doors;” (TA;) [app. the same that is sometimes called in Pers. سِهْ دَرَكْ;] the game that is called in Turkish طوقورجون [and طُوقُرْجِنْ], and in Arabic called also قرق; (TḲ;) [i. e. قِرْقٌ, which is said in the Ḳ and TA in art. قرق to be the game called سُدَّر; accord. to an explanation and diagram there given, played by means of twenty-four lines, composed of four squares, or parallelograms, one of these having within it another, the latter having within it another, and this last having within it another; to which are added a line drawn from each angle of the outermost of these to the corresponding angle of the innermost and another line drawn from the middle of each side of the outermost to the middle of the corresponding side of the innermost; within which combination of twenty-four lines they place (يَضَعُونَ, in the CK يَصُفُّونَ,) pebbles. سُدَّر is evidently from the Pers. سِهْ دَرَهْ: it is said in the TA in art. سدر to be also pronounced سِدَّر and سَدَّر, and to be a Pers. term arabicized. Golius, without mentioning any other authority than that of the Ḳ, explains طُبَنٌ as follows: “Pers. سَدَرَهْ, Turc. دُقُرْجُنْ اُويُنِى, Græc. τριώδιον, Trium, vel novem, scruporum ludus.” Freytag explains the same word as meaning “Triodii seu trivalli ludus;” adding a loose rendering of the explanation of قِرْق in the Ḳ.]
