syn. with ظِلٌّ [as meaning (
tropical:) Shade, or shadow; or cover, or protection]. (

لِذٰلِكَ فِى صَحْرَآءَ جِذْمٍ دَرِينُهَا
(

I made him a cover, or screen, to me, in order that he might not see me: and by جِذْم he means “ old,” because الجِذْمُ signifies الأَصْلُ, and there is nothing older than the أَصْل; and he uses it as an
epithet because it implies the meaning of an
epithet. (

TA:) or,
accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, (
TA,) in the language of the Arabs [of the desert] it signifies [a space such as is termed] a فِنَآء pertaining to a tent of hair-cloth and the like; and those who make it to be like a صُفَّة, or like a سَقِيفَة, explain the word
accord. to the way in which it is used by the people of the towns and villages: (
Msb,
TA:) or it signifies the door [itself]: (
S,
A,

A'Obeyd,

ISk,
S,
M,
Msb,
K,) but the former is the more chaste, (
