جحفل: الجَحْفَل: الجيش الكثير، ولا يكون ذلك حتى يكون فيه خَيْل؛
وأَنشد الليث:
وأَرْعَنَ مَجْرٍ عليه الأَدا
ةُ، ذي تُدْرَإِ لَجِبٍ جَحْفَلِ
والجَحْفَل: السَّيِّد الكريم. ورجل جَحْفَل: سيد عظيم القَدْر؛ قال
أَوس بن حجر:
بَني أُمِّ ذي المال الكثير يَرَوْنَه،
وإِن كان عبداً، سَيِّدَ القَوْم جَحْفَلا
وتَجَحْفَل القومُ: تَجَمَّعوا، وهو من ذلك. وجَحافل الخَيْل:
أَفْواهُها. وجَحْفَلة الدّابة: ما تَنَاوَلُ به العَلَفَ، وقيل: الجَحْفَلة من
الخَيْل والحُمُر والبغالِ والحافر بمنزلة الشفة من الإِنسان والمِشْفَر
للبعير؛ واستعاره بعضهم لذوات الخُفِّ؛ قال:
جاب لها لُقْمانُ في قِلاتِها
ماءً نَقُوعاً لَصَدى هاماتِها،
تَلْهَمُه لَهْماً بجَحْفَلاتها
وأَنشد ابن بري لراجز يصف إِبلاً:
تَسْمَعُ للماء كصَوْتِ المَسْحَلِ،
بَينَ وَرِيدَيْها، وبَينَ الجَحْفَلِ
ابن الأَعرابي: الجَحْفَل العريضُ الجنبين. وجَحْفَله أَي صَرَع ورماه،
وربما قالوا جَعْفَله.
والجَحَنْفَل، بزيادة النون: الغليظ، وهو أَيضاً الغليظ الشفتين، ونونه
مُلْحِقة له ببناء سَفَرْجَلٍ.
الجَحْفَلُ، كجَعْفَرٍ: الجَيشُ الكَثيرُ قَالَ الحُطَيمة:
(وجَحْفَلٍ كبَهِيمِ اللَّيلِ مُنْتَجِعٍ ... أَرضَ العَدُوِّ بِبُؤْسَى بَعْدَ إنعامِ)
وَقَالَ شيخُنا: لامُه زائدةٌ، لِأَنَّهُ مِن الجَحْفِ، وَهُوَ الذَّهابُ بالشَّيْء، يُقَال مِنْهُ: جَحَفَ السَّيلُ الشَّجَرَ والمَدَرَ، وسَيلٌ جَحّافٌ، فَهُوَ ثُلاثيٌّ لَا رُباعِيّ، قَالَه ابْن القَطّاع فِي كِتاب الأبْنِية، لَهُ.
وَعَلِيهِ فمَوضِعُه الْفَاء، وَإِن ذَكره جماعةٌ ك الْجَوْهَرِي هُنَا، وتَبِعَهم المُصنِّفُ. الجَحْفَلُ: الرجُلُ العَظِيمُ القَدْرِ. أَيْضا: السَّيدُ الكَرِيمُ. قَالَ ابنُ الْأَعرَابِي: الجَحْفَلُ: العَظِيمُ الجَنْبَيْنِ. والجَحْفَلَة: بمَنْزِلَة الشَّفَةِ للخَيل والبِغالِ والحَمِير كالشَّفَة للْإنْسَان، وَقد استعارها جَرِيرٌ للْإنْسَان، حَيْثُ قَالَ:
(وُضِعَ الخَزِيرُ فقِيلَ أينَ مُجاشِعٌ ... فَشَحَا جَحافِلَهُ جُرافٌ هِبلَعُ)
قَالَ: شيخُنا: وَلَا تَخْتَصُّ بالشَّفَةِ العُلْيا، كَمَا زَعمه ابنُ حِجَّةَ وغيرُه، وجَزَم بِهِ فِي نَوْعِ سَلامَة الاختِراع، بل تُطْلَق على كل مِنْهُمَا، كَمَا هوظاهِرُ المُصنِّف ونَصِّ غيرِه. الجَحْفَلَتانِ: رَقْمَتانِ فِي ذِراعَيِ الفَرَسِ كَأَنَّهُمَا كَيّتانِ مُتقابِلتانِ فِي باطنِهما تَجَحْفَلُوا: تَجَمَّعُوا. وجَحْفَلُه. جَحْفَلَةً: صَرَعَهُ ورَماه وربّما قَالُوا: جَعْفَلَهُ. جَحْفَلَهُ أَيْضا: بَكَّتَهُ بفعْلِه نقلَه الصاغانيُّ. والجَحَنْفَلُ بزِيادة النُّون: الغَلِيظُ الشَّفَةِ.
