  31

Although it was practically displaced by its augmentative farfantón, it still finds exactly the same meaning of "braggart, boastful and pedantic mouthful".

The Arabic original is 1604; 1593; 1617; 1610; 1576; ( luaib "performance, skill") , which is surely influenced by 1604; 1575; 1593; 1576; ( laeib "player, footballer" ) . As a curious fact, that fat?ah (similar to a sharp accent) on the letter ?ayn undoubtedly marks that it is pronounced as a short "/a/; and avoids some confusion since 1604; 1593; 1610; 1576; ( luaib ) can be interpreted as "with mistakes, defective". . . which is how they write it on most non-Arab sites. 128552;
