מְתָאבָן   adj.  very greedy


  very greedy  LJLA.  TgProv18:8 : מילוי דחביננא/דחבננא/ מתאבנן/מדאבנן/ ליה  [MT דִּבְרֵי נִרְגָּן כְּמִתְלַהֲמִים] †.

The correct reading and meaning are very dubious. Note especially the different reading at the precise Hebrew equivalent at 26:22 and the differences in the Peshitta tradition in both passages with itself and with the LJLA text. If "greedy" then from tˀb; if "to weigh down" then a verbal noun of a denominative verbal form from "stone."
