ج alphabetical letter ج

The fifth letter of the alphabet: called جِيمٌ, which is one of the names of letters of the fem.

gender, but which it is allowable to make masc.: it is one of the letters termed مَجْهُورَة [or vocal, i. e. pronounced with the voice, and not with the breath only]: and of the number of the letters termed مَحْقُورَة, and حُرُوفُ القَلْقَلَةِ, because it cannot be uttered in a case of pause without a strong compression, and a strong sound: and it is also one of those termed شَجْرِيَّة, from الشَّجْرُ, which is the place of opening of the mouth. (TA.)

b2: It is sometimes substituted for ى, when the latter letter is doubled, (K,) or is so substituted by some of the Arabs; (AA, S;) as in فُقَيْمِجٌّ, for فُقَيْمِىٌّ; (AA, S, K;) and مُرِّجٌّ, for مُرِّىٌّ. (AA, S.) An Arab of the desert recited to Khalaf El-Ahmar, الْمُطْعِمَانِ الَّحْمَ بِالْعَشِجِّ خَالِى عُوَيْفٌ وَأَبُو عَلِجِّ

[My maternal uncle is 'Oweyf, and Aboo-'Alijj, who feed with flesh-meat at nightfall]; meaning عَلِىّ and عَشِىّ. (S.) It is also sometimes substituted for a single ى. (S, K.) Az gives the following ex.: يَا رَبِّ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَبِلْتَ حُجَّتِجْ

فَلَا يَزَالُ شَاحِجٌ يَأْتِيكَ بِجْ

[O my Lord, if Thou accept my plea, a brayer (or mule) shall not cease to bring me to Thee (i. e. to thy temple)]; (S;) meaning حُجَّتِى (K) [and بِى]. أَمْسَجَتْ and أَمْسَجَا are also mentioned as occurring in a verse, for أَمْسَتْ and أَمْسَى [because originally أَمْسَيَتْ and أَمْسَىَ]. (S.) But all these substitutions are abominable, (S, Ibn-'Osfoor,) and only allowable in cases of poetical necessity. (Ibn-'Osfoor.) It is further said that some of the Arabs, among whom were the tribe of Kudá'ah, changed ى, when occurring immediately after ع, into ج; and said, for رَاعٍ, [originally رَاعِىٌ,] رَاعِجٌ: this is what is termed عَجْعَجَةٌ: Fr attributes the substitution of ج for ى to the tribe of Teiyi, and some of the tribe of Asad. (TA.)

b3: Some of the Arabs also changed it into ى; saying شَيَرَةٌ for شَجَرَةٌ, and جَثْيَاثٌ for جَثْجَاثٌ, and يَصَّصَ for جَصَّصَ. (Az, S in art. يص.)

A2: [As a numeral, ج denotes Three; and, as such, is generally written without the dot, but thus ح, or thus ح, to distinguish it from ح, which denotes eight.]

(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.

(TA.)

(K.) مُعِمٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مِعَمٌّ, with kesr to the first letter, (K, TA, [in the CK, مِعَمُّ خَيْرِ بكَسْرِ اَوَّلِهِ is erroneously put for مِعَمٌّ بِكَسْرِ أَوَّلِهِ خَيّرٌ,]) One who is good, or very good, (K, TA,) who includes mankind in common, in general, or universally, within the compass of his goodness, (Kr, T, K, TA,) and his superabundant bounty; (T, TA;) and ↓ عَمَمٌ signifies the same: (K:) [see also an ex. and explanation voce مِثَمٌّ, in art. ثم:] مِعَمٌّ is almost the only instance of an epithet of the measure مِفْعَلٌ from a verb of the measure فَعَلَ, except مِلَمٌّ [and مِثَمٌّ, with both of which it is coupled].

(TA.) b4: And دَكَّهُ signifies also He pushed him, or thrust him; like صَكَّهُ and لَكَّهُ. (As, TA.) b5: [Hence,] دَكَّ جَارِيَتَهُ (tropical:) He (a man) distressed his young woman, or female slave, by throwing his weight upon her when desiring to compress her. (AA, TA. [See also رَكَّ.]) And دَكَّ الدَّابَّةَ بِالسَّيْرِ (tropical:) He distressed, or jaded, or fatigued, the beast by journeying. (TA.) And دُكَّ الرَّجُلُ, (S, K,) i. e. دَكَّتْهُ الحُمَّى, (Az, S,) or دَكَّهُ المَرَضُ, (K,) meaning (tropical:) Fever, or disease, weakened the man: (TA:) or he became sick, or ill. (K.) b6: And دَكٌّ also signifies The sending forth camels all together. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) 2 دكّكهُ He mixed it; namely, colocynth with dates or some other thing. (O, L, K.) Yousay, دَكِّكُوا لَنَا Mix ye for us. (L, O.) [See مُدَكَّكٌ.]6 تداكّ عَلَيْهِ القَوْمُ The people pressed, or crowded, upon him. (TA.) It is said in a trad. of 'Alee, ثُمَّ تَدَاكَكْتُمْ عَلَىَّ تَدَاكُكَ الإِبِلِ الهِيمِ عَلَى حِيَاضِهَا, i. e. Then ye pressed [upon me like the pressing of thirsty camels upon their wateringtroughs]. (TA.) And one says, تَدَاكَّتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الخَيْلُ The horses, or horsemen, pressed upon them. (TA.) 7 اندكّ It (a place) became levelled, its elevations and depressions being made even. (K.) b2: It (a camel's hump) became spread upon the animal's sides, (TA,) or upon his back. (IDrd, TA.) b3: It (sand) became compact. (TA.) R. Q. 1 دَكْدَكَ, inf. n. دَكْدَكَةٌ: see 1, in two places. b2: One says of the stallion-camel when he covers, يُدَكْدِكُ النَّاقَةَ [app. meaning He distresses the she-camel by his weight: see دَكَّ الجَارِيَتَهُ, above]. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) R. Q. 2 تَدَكْدَكَثِ الجِبَالُ The mountains became دَكَّاوَات, i. e. hills of mould or clay. (S.) دَكٌّ An even, or a level, place; (K;) [and so ↓ أَدَكُّ, as is shown by an explanation of its fem. in this paragraph:] or land, or ground, broken, and made even: (S:) you say أَرْضٌ دَكٌّ: (Akh, S:) pl. دُكُوكٌ. (S, K.) Hence, in the Kur [vii. 139 and xviii. 98], جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا, (Akh, S, TA,) i. e. [He made it, in the former instance, and shall make it, in the latter instance,] even, or level, (Az, Az, Ibn-'Arafeh,) without any hill: (Ibn-'Arafeh: [this addition relating to the former instance:]) or crumbled: (Ksh, * Bd:) or, accord. to Akh, دَكًّا may be here an inf. n.; as though the meaning were ↓ دَكَّهُ دَكًّا: [see 1:] or it may be elliptical, meaning جَعَلَهُ ذَا دَكٍّ: another reading is ↓ جَعَلَهُ دَكَّآءَ, (S,) meaning in the former instance a hill rising from the ground like the دَكَّةَ: (Ksh:) or meaning جَعَلَهُ أَرْضًا دَكَّآءَ, (S,) i. e. He made it even, or level, ground; (Ksh, Bd;) because the word جَبَل [to which دكّآء virtually relates] is masc. (S.) b2: Also, [as a subst.,] Even, or level, sand; and so ↓ دَكَّةٌ: pl. [of either, agreeably with analogy,] دِكَاكٌ. (K.) b3: And A [mound, or hill, of dust or earth, such as is called] تَلّ: (K:) or the like of a تَلّ: (L:) in some of the copies of the K, التكّ is erroneously put for التّل. (TA.) دُكٌّ A low mountain: (S, K:) or an elevated, or overlooking, hill of mould, or clay, in which is somewhat of ruggedness: (As, TA:) pl. دِكَكَةٌ; (As, S, K;) and دِكَكٌ [app. another, though irregular, pl. of the same,] is said to signify قِيرَان [i. e. small isolated mountains, or knolls of mountains, &c., (see قَارَةٌ,)] breaking, or crumbling, down: or disintegrated [hills, or mountains, such as are called] هِضَاب. (TA.) b2: [See also أَدَكُّ, of which it is a pl.]

A2: Also Strong and bulky. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) دَكَّةٌ A certain thing, (S,) [i. e.] an elevated place, (Msb,) a flat-topped structure, (K,) upon which one sits; (S, Msb, K;) i. q. مَسْطَبَةٌ [a kind of wide bench, of stone or brick &c., generally built against a wall]: (Msb:) pronounced by the vulgar ↓ دِكَّةٌ [and commonly applied by them to a long seat of wood]: (TA:) and ↓ دُكَّانٌ signifies the same; (S, Msb, K;) but accord. to some, this belongs to art. دكن [q. v.]: (S, Msb, TA:) the pl. of the former is دِكَكٌ, like as the pl. of قَصْعَةٌ is قِصَعٌ: (Msb:) and the pl. of ↓ دُكَّانٌ is دَكَاكِينُ. (TA.) [For another modern application, see مَحْفِلٌ.] b2: See also دَكٌّ.

دِكَّةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph. b2: [It is also vulgarly used for تِكَّةٌ, q. v.]

دَكَكٌ The state of having no hump, or no prominence of the hump, in a camel. (K.) [See أَدَكُّ.]

دُكُكٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned] She-camels having their humps broken, bruised, or crushed. (TA.) دُكَكَةٌ A thing [meaning food] made of هَبِيد [i. e. colocynths, or colocynth-seeds,] and flour, when flour is scarce. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) [See also مُدَّكَكٌ.]

دَكِيكٌ, applied to a year, (S, TA,) and a month, (TA,) and a day, (K,) Complete. (S, K.) دَكَّآءُ, fem. of أَدَكُّ [q. v.], used as a subst., (TA,) A hill of mould or clay, (As, S, M, K,) not rugged, (As, M, K,) nor amounting to a mountain: (TA:) or the pl. signifies natural [mounds, or hills, of dust or earth, such as are called] تِلَال: (TA:) the pl. is دَكَّاوَاتٌ, (As, S, M, K,) because it is used as a subst.: (TA:) or it has no sing.: (K:) ISd says, this is what the lexicologists say; but in my opinion the sing. is دَكَّآءُ. (TA.) دُكَّانٌ: see دَكَّةٌ, in two places: and see also art. دكن.

دَكْدَكٌ and دِكْدِكٌ: see what next follows.

دَكْدَاكٌ (As, S, K) and ↓ دَكْدَكٌ and ↓ دِكْدِكٌ (K) Sand that is compact, and cleaving to the ground, (As, S, K,) not elevated, (S,) or not much elevated: (As, TA:) or sand containing dust or earth, compacted together: (AHn, TA:) or sand pressed, and even, or level: or land in which is ruggedness: (K:) or a low, or depressed, and even, or level, tract of land: (TA:) n. un. of the first [and app. of each of the others] with ة: (ISh, T in art. ربو:) pl. دَكَادِيكُ and دَكَادِكُ. (S, K.) أَدَكُّ, and its fem. دَكَّآءُ: see دَكٌّ. You say also أَكَمَةٌ دَكَّآءُ, meaning A hill wide [and app. flat, or nearly so,] in its top: (TA:) or an expanded hill: (Msb:) pl. دَكَّاوَاتٌ, which is extr. in this case, because دكّآء is here an epithet. (TA.) And دُكٌّ, [its regular pl.,] applied to sands, Even and compact. (AHn, M in art. ذلف.) b2: [Hence,] A horse contracted [in make] and broad in the back; (S;) or a horse broad in the back, (Ks, A 'Obeyd, Mgh, K, TA,) and short (Ks, A 'Obeyd, Mgh, TA) therein; (TA;) of the sort called بَرَاذِين; (A 'Obeyd, TA:) pl. دُكٌّ. (S, Mgh, K.) b3: And the fem. signifies A she-camel having no hump: (S, K:) or whose hump is not prominent, (K, TA,) but spreading upon her sides: (TA:) pl. دُكٌّ and دَكَّاوَاتٌ, (S,) said in the S to be like حُمْرٌ and حَمْرَاوَاتٌ, but one does not say حَمْرَاوَاتٌ, like as one does not say أَحْمَرُونَ: (IB:) and in like manner the masc. is applied to a he-camel: (K:) or دَكَّآءُ [in the sense here explained] has no masc., and therefore it is allowable to say دَكَّاوَاتٌ. (IB.) مِدَكٌ (tropical:) A strong man, that treads the ground vehemently: (S, TA:) or strong to work; (K;) and the fem., with ة, is applied in this latter sense to a female slave. (S, K.) A2: Also a dial. var. [now vulgarly used] of مِتَكٌّ [q. v.]. (TA.) حَنْظَلٌ مَدَكَّكٌ Colocynth eaten with dates or other things. (K.) [See also دُكَكَةٌ.]

مَدْكُوكٌ [Broken, crushed, or bruised, &c.: see its verb, 1]. b2: أَرْضٌ مَدْكُوكَةٌ Land having no أَسْنَاد [or elevations (in the CK, erroneously, اِسْنَاد)], producing [the shrub called] رِمْث. (AHn, K.) b3: مَدْكُوكٌ applied to a horse, Having no prominence of his حَجَبَة [or crest of the hip or haunch]; (K;) and so مَدْلُوكٌ. (K in art. دلك.) b4: Applied to a man, Weakened by fever, (S, * TA,) or by disease: or sick, or ill. (TA.) b5: See also what follows.
