دَرْب • (darb) m (plural دُرُوب‎ (durūb))

1. path, pass, way

Lua error: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value)

• دَرْب التَّبَّانَة‎ (darb at-tabbāna, “Milky Way”)
• دَرَّاب‎ (darrāb, “way guardian”)

• → Classical Syriac: ܕܰܪܒܳܐ‎ (darbā, “way, path”)
• → Old Spanish: adarve, adarbe
  • Spanish: adarve

From the root د ر ب‎ (d-r-b). Possibly these verbs are all denominally formed from Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), since Derbe was a town to be passed for those who were drilled for war against the Greeks. The same even applies to Spain, the Pyrenees being called الدُرُوب (ad-durūb), to be passed for war against the Franks.
