(TA.) Hence some explain وَ اتْرُكِ البَحْرَ رَهْوًا [mentioned above] as meaning And leave thou the sea motionless, or calm: some, as meaning dry. (TA.) And you say, اِفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ رَهْوًا Do thou that quietly, or calmly. (S.)

(S.) b4: He did well: they say to the shooter, or thrower, when he does ill, أَرْهِهْ, i. e. Do thou well. (TA.) b5: أَرْهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ Be gentle with, or to, thyself: (S, K, TA;) [in the CK ارْهُ; and (hence, perhaps,) thus in the printed edition of Har, p. 498; where it is said to be from رها فى السير, meaning رفق: but the right reading is أَرْهِ, for] one says also مَا أَرْهَيْتَ إِلَّا عَلَى

(TA.) b2: And applied to A بِرْذَون [or horse for ordinary use and for journeying] that has an easy back in going along: a genuine Arabic word: (TA:) or رَهَوَانٌ [thus I find it written, but it is commonly pronounced رَهْوَان, or رَحْوَان with ح,] is a vulgar term applied to a pacing horse.

جفو: جفاه: أبعده، وهجره، وتركه (تعليقات فليشر على المقري 2: 77 في الزيادات والتصحيحات، وفي التعليقات على المقري ص273 - 274). وتقول العرب فيما قرره فليشر: جفت جفوني النوم، في حين تقول (نحن الفرنسيين): جفا النوم جفوني. ولذلك يمكن أن تقرأ ما جاء في المقري (2: 195): جفا جفني المنامَ (بنصب المنام كما يرى فليشر). غير أن رفع المنام كما نشرته صحيح أيضاً، لانا نجد في المقدمة (3: 398) بيتا من الشعر فيه: جفا جفوني النومُ، والضمة فوق الميم في مخطوطتنا رقم 1350، ولا شك أن الشاعر قالها بالضم وإلا لقال: جفت جفوني.
ويقال: جفا الرقاد بمعنى جفا جنبه عن الفراش (عند فريتاج ولين) (ألف ليلة 2: 101).
وجفاه: لامه وعذله، أنبه وبكنه (فوك) جَفَّى بالتشديد (أنظر لين) تعني كما يقول جوليوس: قابله بجفاء. وعامله بجفاء (بوشر). وهذا المعنى قديم نجده في بيت للأعشى نقله ابن خلكان (1: 186).
وفي مخطوطة ليدن: نُجَفَّى (أنظر أيضاً معجم مسلم).
جافاه: أبعده، وأساء إليه، وجافته خليلته أبعدته وقست عليه (بوشر).
تجافي: لم يلزم مكانه، ومال من جانب إلى جانب. (البكري 159). وتجافى عنه: تولى عنه، وكف عنه، وعفَّ (المقري، 1: 55، 2: 75، 634، 2: 164، 273، 434) وفي كتاب الخطيب (24و): لم يكن من أهل نباهة ووقع لابن عبد الملك في ذلك مقل كان حقه التجافي عنه لو وفق (المقدمة 1: 160، 229)، (تاريخ البربر 2: 64، 148، 316، 318، 323، 334، أماري 387).
وقد تكون بمعنى لم يرغب فيه وامتنع عنه، ففي العبدري (58 ق): وأجرت بيتا في مكة وكان لا يزال يسكنه قوم من تونس (فتجافيت عن التضييق عليهم في السكنى معهم وانتظرت خروجهم. وفي تاريخ البربر (1: 12): وتجافى عن قبول شيء من السلطان.
وتجافى عن فلان: عفا عنه وامتنع عن الإساءة إليه. ففي حيان- بسام (3: 50 و): فتجافى الكفرة عنهم وخرجوا يريدون مدينة منشون. (في نسخة ب، 1: فتجفى غير أن المزيد تفعَّل من جفا غير مستعمل).
وتجافى عن دمه: امتنع عن قتله، وعفا عنه (تاريخ البربر 1: 597، 2: 22).
وتجافى عنه: ابتعد عنه وتركه (تاريخ البربر 1: 649، 2: 181).
وتجافى عن ملك الحضرة: ترك امتلاك العاصمة وامتنع عن ذلك (تاريخ البربر 1: 657).
وتجافى عن الإمارة: ترك الملك وتنازل عنه (تاريخ البربر 1: 620).
وتجافى لفلان عن الشيء: تركه له (بيان 2: 283، تاريخ البربر 1: 552، 581، 583، 595، 2: 98، 124 ومواضع أخرى، أبن بطوطة 3: 340).
وتجافى عن الشيء: نفر منه وكرهه، ففي تاريخ البربر (1: 367): وضمن هو تخريب المساجد لتجافيهم عنها (تاريخ البربر 1: 488، 2: 179، 192).
وتجافى بهم المنبت عن الحضارة والأمصار بعض الشيء، ابتعد أصلهم عن البقاء في المدن والسكنى في بيوت ثابتة (دي سلان) (المقدمة 1: 298).
وتجافى عن فلان: عفا عنه (دي ساسي قواعد 1: 78، شرح الحريري 413، تاريخ البربر 1: 42).
وتجافى لفلان عنه: تركه له (بدرون 296 حيث يجب قراءة النص كما ذكرناه) وانظر التعليقات في صفحة 127 - 128 منه.
وتجافى به: أبعده، وأقصاه (شرح ديوان مسلم).
استجفاه: وجد حافيا، ففي المقري (2: 560) في كلامه عن شاعر استجفاه أي وجد شعره ثقيلا غليظا غير (حلو المنزع) جَفْوَة: تباعد، تنافر. ففي تاريخ البربر (2: 185): كانت جفوة بين السلطان وخالد.
جفاء: قسوة، وشدة، صرامة. ففي الكلام عن الخليلة يقال: أعطته عين الجفاء: أي قست عليه وعاملته بشدة، ونظرت إليه بصرامة (بوشر).
جاف: فظ، غليظ، قاسي القلب، يقال: جافية على العاشق أي قاسية القلب على حبيبها (بوشر).
وجاف: ثقيل، توصف به وسائل النقل، وقطع الحجارة، والأسلحة (معجم الادريسي).
وجاف: بليد، أحمق، غليظ الذهن (فوك) وثقيل الروح، ثقيل الظل، مملّ، مضجر (فوك).
الأم الجافية: الغشاء الخارجي المغلف للدماغ والحبل الشوكي (بوشر).
مَجْفُوّ: كريه النظر، مشوه الخلقة.
ففي المقري (1: 306): رث الهيأة، مجفو الطلعة.

(TA.) And جَفَا السَّرْجُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ الفَرَسِ, (S Msb, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above; (Msb;) and ↓ تجافى; (S, Msb;) The saddle heaved, or rose, from the back of the horse: (S, Msb:) or did not keep, or cleave, to its place upon his back.

[He who abides in the desert] becomes coarse, rough, or rude, of nature or disposition; [or unkind, hard, churlish, &c.;] by reason of mixing little with men. (TA.) b5: جَفَا عَلَيْهِ كَذَا Such a thing was, or became, heavy, onerous, burdensome, or oppressive, to him. (K.) A2: جَفَا جَنْبَهُ عَنِ الفِرَاشِ: and جَفَا السَّرْجَ: see 3. b2: جَفَتِ القِدْرُ زَبَدَهَا The cooking-pot cast forth its froth, or foam; as also ↓ اجفت; (TA;) [like جَفَأَت and اجفأت;] originally without ء. (Er- Rághib, TA.) And جَفَا السَّيْلُ The torrent drove away [things in its course]. (Msb.) b3: جَفَا الرَّجُلَ, aor. as above, He turned away from the man; avoided him; or shunned him: or he drove away the man; from جفا السَّيْلُ, explained above: sometimes meaning, with hatred. (Msb.) And جَفَاهُ He withdrew, or removed, far, or to a distance, from him: whence the saying of Mohammad Ibn-Sookah, لَمَّا قَلَّ مَالِى جَفَانِى إِخْوَانِى [When my property became little, my brethren withdrew far from me]. (TA) b4: And جَفَا مَالَهُ He did not keep, or cleave, or hold fast, to his property.

[Thus the Muslim is enjoined to do in prostrating himself in prayer.] And جافى السَّرْجَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ الفَرَسِ, (S, * Msb,) and ↓ اجفاهُ, (S, K,) and ↓ جَفَاهُ, (K, [said in the TA to be a mistake, but a similar usage of this verb has been mentioned above on the authority of the Mgh,]) He raised the saddle from the back of the horse: (S, Msb, K:) and in like manner, القَتَبَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ البَعِيرِ ↓ أَجْفَيْتُ [I raised the saddle from the back of the. camel].
