lambheti

Dictionary Definition: 

Lambheti [Caus. of labh, for which usually labbheti (q. v. under labhati). The Sk. form is lambhayati. -- The Dhtm. (840) puts it down as a special root, although it occurs only in cpd. pa˚ in this special meaning: "labhi vañcane"] see palambheti (to deceive, dupe). It may be possibie that reading lampetvā at A ii.77 (v. l. lambitvā) is to be corrected to lambhetvā (combd with hāpetvā). -- alambhavissa at S v.146 is to be read alam abhavissa, as at J ii.59.
