קוּבְלָנָא, (v. קִבְלָא III) a formula to ward off danger, e.g. when complaining of a trouble to a friend, to say, ‘may it never occur to you!’ Snh. 104ᵇ (ref. to Lam. I, 12 לא אליכם) מכאן לק׳ מן התורה (Ar. לקָבְלָ׳) here we have a Biblical support for the custom of saying, ‘not to you’; [another interpret. in Rashi: complaint (v. קְבַל II), i.e. that a man in trouble should make it known to friends and appeal to their sympathy; v. Ḥull. 78ᵃ].
