جح
R.
Q. 1 جَحْجَحَ He mentioned a جَحْجَاح [or chief, &c.] of his people. (
TA.)
b2: جَحْجَحَتْ She gave birth to a جحجاج. (
TA.) and جحجحت بِوَلَدِهَا She brought forth her child a جحجاح. (
A.) جَحْجَحٌ: see the following paragraph.
b2: Also A low, an ignoble, a vile, a mean, or a sordid, man; possessing no manly qualities. (
AA,
T,
K.) [Thus it bears two
contr. significations.]
جَحْجَاحٌ (
S,
A,
K) and ↓ جَحْجَحٌ (
K) A chief, lord, master, or man of rank or quality or distinction: (
S,
A,
K:) or one who is liberal, bountiful, or munificent; or one who is noble, or generous: (
TA:) and one who hastens [to render aid] in cases of evil: (
A:)
pl. (of the former,
S,
A,
TA, [or of the latter
accord. to
analogy,]) جَحَاجِحُ (
S,
A,
K) and (of the same,
A,
TA) جَحَاجِحَةٌ (
A,
K) and جَحَاجِيحُ: (
K:) it is said in the
S that these two are pls. of the first
pl.; the ة in the former of them being substituted for the ى in the latter of them, which is rejected; for one of these two letters must be retained, but both cannot be together: this assertion in the
S, however, is well refuted by
MF. (
TA.)
