جو

جَوٌّ The air: (K:) or [the atmosphere; i. e.] what is between the heaven, or sky, and the earth; (S, Mgh;) the air [or the region] between the heaven, or sky, and the earth: pl. أَجْوَآءٌ. (TA.) فِى جَوِّ السَّمَآءِ, in the Kur [xvi. 81], means In the air between the heaven, or sky, and the earth: (Jel:) or in the middle of the sky: (Katádeh, TA:) or in the air that is remote from the earth.

(in the latter sense, Msb, or in the former, K, TA) جِوَآءٌ (Msb, K) and [of pauc.] أَجْوِيَةٌ. (TA.) It has the latter meaning in the saying of Tarafeh, [addressing a lark,] خَلَا لَكِ الجَوُّ فَبِيضِى وَاصْفِرِى

[The wide part of the valley has become vacant for thee; so lay thine eggs, and whistle]. (AA, S.) Az says, I entered, with an Arab of the desert, a [hollow place in which water collected, termed a] دَحْل, in El-Khalsà, and when we came to the water, he said, هٰذَا جَوٌّ مِنَ المَاءِ لَا يُوقَفُ عَلَى أَقْصَاهُ [This is an abyss of water: one knows not the utmost extent of it].

(TA.) b5: [Hence,] جَوَّةٌ I desire concealment, or secrecy, and he desires publicity. (A in art. بر.) جَوَّةٌ: see جَوٌّ, in two places.

جَوَّانِىٌّ: see جَوٌّ. Hence the saying of Selmán, مَنْ أَصْلَحَ جَوَّانِيَّهُ أَصْلَحَ اللّٰهُ بَرَّانِيَّهُ [explained in art. بر]. (TA.) [It generally signifies Inner, inward, or interior; and secret, or private; opposed to بَرَّانِىٌّ; and is now vulgarly pronounced جُوَّانِىْ.] It is a rel. n. [irregularly formed] from جَوٌّ signifying “ any low, or depressed, part of the ground. ” (T in art. بر.)

ضفاف [thus written without any syll. sign] The quality denoted by the epithet ضَفُوفٌ applied to a she-camel or a ewe or goat.

And ضُمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers were drawn together upon it. (Ham p. 21. [See also a similar phrase in what follows, with the verb in the act. form, virtually meaning the same.]) b2: [Also He compacted it: and he compressed it. b3: And He, or it, comprised it; or enclosed it: and he grasped it: as also ضَمَّ عَلَيْهِ, in both of these senses.] You say, ضَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَنَامِلُ The ends of the fingers grasped it. (Ham p. 21. [See a similar phrase above.]) And ضَمَّ عَلَى المَالِ He took [or grasped] all the property. (TA.) and ضَمَّ مِنْ مَالِهِ He took of his property.

Q. 1.]6 تَضَامُّوا They became, or drew, near, or close, together, or one to another; or became conjoined, one with another. (S, MA, TA. [See also 8.]) Hence the saying in a trad., لَا تَضَامُّونَ فِى رُؤْيَتِهِ [originally تَتَضَامُّونَ]; but some relate it otherwise, saying ↓ لا تُضَامُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَامُونَ, from الضَّيْمُ; (TA in this art.;) and some, لا تُضَارُّونَ; and some, لا تُضَارُونَ, from الضَّيْرُ.

(S, * MA, K. *) [And it signifies also He adjoined himself, got him or got himself, betook him or betook himself, repaired, or resorted, to him, or it. And انضمّ عَلَيْهِ It became drawn together upon it. انضمّ الى كَذَا is expl. in the TA as meaning اِنْطَوَى: but I think that الى is evidently a mistranscription for عَلَى; and that the meaning therefore is, It infolded such a thing, or enclosed it, like اضطمّ عليه, q. v.]8 اضطمّ الشَّىْءَ He drew, brought, or gathered, the thing to himself: (K:) the ط is substituted for ت because of the ض. (Az, TA.) b2: Hence, in a trad., اضطمّ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ [They drew near, or close, one to another]. (TA. [See also 6.]) And, in another trad., اضطمّ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ The people, or men, pushed, pressed, crowded, or thronged, together upon him.
