نَكْبَاءُ [fem. of أَنْكَبُ] an epithet applied to Any wind that blows obliquely, taking a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds: (TA:) a wind that blows obliquely, deviating from the direction whence blow the right (القُوَّم [or the cardinal]) winds: (Ṣ:) or a [particular] wind that blows obliquely, and takes a direction between [the directions of] two [cardinal] winds; (Ḳ;) which destroys the camels and sheep, &c., and restrains the rain: (TA:) or a wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, wind, (الصَّبَا,) and that of the north, or northerly, wind, (الشَّمَال): (AZ, Ḳ:) that between the south, or southerly, and east, or easterly, winds, being called جِرْبِيَاءُ: (AZ:) [but see this word, and see below:] or what are termed نُكْبُ الرِّيَاحِ [نُكْبٌ being pl. of نكباء] are four: (IAạr, Th, Ṣ, Ḳ:) namely, first, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالجَنُوبِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the south, or southerly, wind; also called الأَزْيَبُ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) which is a very thirsty wind, that dries up much the leguminous plants; but Et-Tará- bulusee, in the Kf, and Mbr and IF, assert that the ازيب is the جنوب; not its نكباء: (TA:) second, the نكباءُ الصَّبَا وَالشَّمَالِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the east, or easterly, and that of the north, or northerly, wind; also called الصَّابَيةُ, and called also النُّكَيْباَءُ↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) a diminutive meant to convey the opposite of a diminutive sense; for they find this wind to be very cold; (Ṣ;) it is very boisterous and very cold; unattended by rain or by any good: (TA:) third, the نكباءُ الشَّمَالِ وَالدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the north, or northerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الجِرْبِيَاءُ; and termed نَيِّحَةُ الأَزْيَبِ the opposite wind to the ازيب; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) a cold wind; (Ṣ;) and sometimes attended by a little rain; but Ibn-El-Ajdábee asserts that the جربياء is the شمال: (TA:) fourth, the نكباءُ الجَنُوبِ والدَّبُورِ the wind that blows in a direction between that of the south, or southerly, and that of the west, or westerly, wind; also called الهَيْفُ; (in the CK, الهَيَفُ;) and termed نَيِّحَةُ النُّكَيْباَءِ the opposite wind to the نكيباء; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) a hot wind (Ṣ) and very thirsty. (TA.) Accord. to Ibn-Kubás, the tract whence blows the نكباء [by which he means only the wind that blows from the north-east or thereabout] is that extending between the point where rises the ذِرَاع [or the asterism composed of the stars α and β of Gemini, E. 33° N., in central Arabia; or α and β of Canis Minor, E. 7° N., in the same latitude] and the pole-star: and the tract between the pole-star and the point where sets the ذراع is the tract whence blows the شمال. Sh says, Each of the four [cardinal] winds has its نكباء, which is called in relation to it: that of the صبا is that which is between it and the شمال; [blowing from the north-east, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in gentleness; sometimes having sharpness, or vehemence; but this is seldom; only once in a long space of time: that of the شمال is that which is between it and the دبور; [blowing from the north-west, or thereabout;] and it resembles it in coldness: it is called الشمالُ الشَّامِيَّةُ: each of them is called by the Arabs شاميّة: that of the دبور is that which is between it and the جنوب; blowing from the point where sets سُهَيْل [or Canopus; i. e., Ṣ. 29 degrees W., in the latitude of central Arabia]; and it resembles it in its violence and boisterousness: and that of the جنوب is that which is between it and the صبا; [blowing from the south-east, or thereabout;] and it is the wind most resembling it in its softness and in its gentleness in winter. (L.) The pl. of نكباء is نُكْبٌ, as shown above. (Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.) [See also تَبُّوعُ الشَّمْسِ, in art. تبع.]

دَبُورٌ نكب [app.نَكْبٌ↓, originally an inf. n., used as an epithet, and therefore applicable without ة to a fem noun] i. q. نَكْباَءُ; [app., The نكباء of the دبور, a southwesterly wind]. (TA.)

(TA.) [It seems to be regarded by some as originally signifying “a place of deflection:” but] Sb denies its being a noun of place, because, were it so, it would be مَنْكَبٌ: he does not allow it to be included in the class of مَطْلِعٌ, because this is extr. Pl. مَنَاكِبُ. رَجُلٌ شَدِيدُ المَنَاكِبِ, signifies A man having a strong shoulder: as though the sing. were applied to denote each part of the joint, and the pl. to denote the whole. (TA.)

(Ṣ.)

المَنَاكِبٌ ‡ The feathers next after the قَوَادِم; [which latter are the anterior, or primary, feathers of a bird's wing;] (Ḳ;) the feathers of the wing of a vulture or an eagle that are next after the قوادم, which are the strongest and most excellent of the feathers; (TA:) four [feathers] in the wing of a bird, next after the قوادم (Ṣ.)
