شَخَبَ, (Mgh, TA,) aor. ـُ {يَشْخُبُ} [and ـَ,] inf. n. شَخْبٌ, said of milk, (Mgh,) and of anything, It flowed. (Mgh, TA.) And شَخَبْتُهُ I made it to flow. (Mgh.) You say, شَخَبَ اللَّبَنُ, aor. ـُ {يَشْخُبُ} and ـَ {يَشْخَبُ}, (Ṣ, O, CK,) inf. n. شَخْبٌ, (Ṣ, O,) The milk flowed in an extended stream from the udder when milked; (Ṣ, O, CK;) and † in like manner one says of blood: (O:) or شَخَبَ اللَّبَنَ, aor. ـُ {يَشْخُبُ} and ـَ {يَشْخَبُ}, he made the milk to flow in a continuous stream from the udder (Ḳ accord. to the TA [and accord. to the context in the Ḳ, in which it is immediately added فَٱنْشَخَبَ, showing thatانشخب↓ has the former of these two significations as quasi-pass. of شَخَبَ, and the like is said in the A,]) between the vessel and the teat. (TA.) Hence, i. e. from شَخَبَ اللَّبَنُ, the saying of El-Kumeyt,

* وَوَحْوَحَ فِى حِضْنِ الفَتَاةِ ضَجِيعُهَا *

*وَلَمْ يَكُ فِى النُّكْدِ المَقَالِيتِ مَشْخَبُ↓ *

[And he who lay upon his side with her, or her bedfellow, breathed audibly, by reason of the cold, in the bosom of the young woman, and there was not, among the she-camels that had no young ones living, and that should therefore abound with milk, because not suckling, any flowing of milk in a continuous, or an extended, stream, or any time, or place, thereof, for مَشْخَبٌ may be, agreeably with a general rule, an inf. n. or a n. of time or of place]. (Ṣ.) And some expl. شَخْبٌ as signifying The sounding, or sound, of milk when it is being drawn from the udder. (TA.) One says also, شَخَبَتْ أَوْدَاجُ القَتِيلِ دَمًا i. e. ‡ [The external jugular veins of the slain person] streamed, or flowed with blood: (Mṣb, TA:* [and the like is said in the Mgh:]) and شَخَبْتُهُ أَنَا † [I made it to stream, or flow]: the verb being intrans. and trans. (Mṣb.) And هُوَ يَشْخُبُ دَمًا † He, or it, flows [or streams] with blood; the last word being in the accus. case as a specificative: and be, or it, pours forth, or makes to flow [or stream], blood; the last word, when this is the meaning, being in the accus. case as an objective complement: but the former is that which is commonly known. (Mgh.) And شَخَبَتْ يَدَاهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ † [His hands flowed, or streamed, with blood, until he died: or poured forth blood,, &c.]: said, in a trad., of one whose knuckles, or finger-joints, were cut. (TA.) انشخب↓, also, is said of blood [as meaning † It flowed, or streamed]. (TA.) Andانشخب↓ دَمًا, said of a vein, means † It flowed, or streamed, with blood. (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA.) And it is said in a trad. respecting the حَوْض [or pool (of the Apostle)], يَشْخُبُ فِيهِ مِيزَابَانِ مِنَ الجَنَّةِ † [Two spouts will pour forth into it from Paradise]. (TA.) And one says, شَخَبْتُ اللِّقَاحَ I milked the milch camels. (A, TA.)

And مَرَّ يَشْخَبُ فِى الأَرْضِ † He went, or passed by, (O,) or ran, (El-Fáïk, TA,) swiftly [in the land, or upon the ground]. (El-Fáïk, O, TA.)
