(IB.) And [عَمٌّ signifies also A paternal great uncle, &c.: therefore] one says, هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ

(S, K.) b4: And All [herbs such as are termed]

عُشْب. (Th, K.) عَمَّ in the phrase عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ [Respecting what do they ask one another? in the Kur lxxviii. 1] is originally عَمَّا, [for عَنْ مَا,] the ا being elided in the interrogation [after the prep. عَنْ]. (S.) عُمٌّ: see عَمٌّ, last sentence but one: A2: and see also عُمُمٌ.

(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].

الرَّمْلِ وَيَزْجُرُ [The diviner makes lines, or marks, with his finger upon the sand, and divines]. (S.) Th says, on the authority of IAar, that عِلْمُ الخَطِّ is عِلْمُ الرَّمْلِ [or geomancy]: I 'Ab says that it is an ancient science, which men have relinquished: but Lth says that it is practised to the present time; [to which I may add, that it has not even now ceased; being still practised on sand and the like, and also on paper;] and they have conventional terms which they employ in it, and they elicit thereby the secret thoughts &c., and often hit upon the right therein: the diviner comes to a piece of soft ground, and he has a boy, with whom is a style; and the master makes many lines, or marks, in haste, that they may not be counted; then he returns, and obliterates leisurely lines, or marks, two by two; and if there remain two lines, or marks, they are a sign of success, and of the attainment of the thing wanted: while he obliterates, his boy says, for the sake of auguring well, اِبْنَىْ عِيَانْ أَسْرِعَا البَيَانْ [O two sons of 'Iyán (meaning two lines or marks), hasten ye the manifestation]: I 'Ab says that when he has obliterated the lines, or marks, and one remains, it is the sign of disappointment: and Az and Lth relate the like of this. (TA.)

(TA.) One says to him who puts on a new garment, أَبْلِ وَأَجِدَّ وَاحْمَدِ الكَاسِى [Wear out, and make, or put on, new, and praise the Clother, meaning God]. (S.) And you say, بَهِىَ بَيْتُ فُلَانٍ فَأَجَدَّ بَيْتًا مِنْ شَعَرٍ [The tent of such a one was, or became, rent, or pierced with holes; therefore he made a new tent of haircloth]. (S.) And الأَمْرَ ↓ جدّد, and اجدّهُ, and ↓ استجدّهُ, He originated, or innovated, the thing, or affair; or did it newly, or for the first time (Msb.) And الوُضُوْءَ ↓ جدّد (tropical:) [He renewed the ablution termed وضوء], and العَهْدَ (tropical:) [the compact, or contract, or covenant, &c.]. (TA.) b2: اجدّ فُلَانٌ أَمْرَهُ بِذٰلِكَ Such a one established, or settled, firmly his affair, or case, thereby, or therein: so says As, and he cites the following verse: أَجَدَّ بِهَا أَمْرًا وَأَيْقَنَ أَنَّهُ لَهَا أَوْخْرَي كَالطَّحِينَ تُرَابُهَا [He established, or settled, firmly his case thereby, or therein, and knew certainly that he was for it, (app. meaning a war, or battle, حَرْب, which is fem.,) or for another whereof the dust would be like flour]: Aboo-Nasr says, It has been related to me that he said, اجدَ بها امرًا means اجدّ أَمْرَهُ بِهَا; [and so this phrase is explained in the K;] but the former explanation I heard from himself: (L:) or this phrase means أَجَدَّ أَمْرُهُ بِهَا [so in two copies of the S, app., (assumed tropical:) his affair, or case, became easy, or practicable, thereby, like ground termed جَدَد, which is easy to walk, or travel, upon; see the next sentence]; امر being put in the accus. case as a specificative, like عَيْنًا in the phrase قَرِرْتُ بِهِ عَيْنًا, meaning قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِى. (S.) A3: اجدّ also signifies It (a road) was, or became, what is termed جَدَد [i. e. hard, or level, &c.]. (S, K.) And اجدّت لَكَ الأَرْضُ The ground hath become to thee free from soft places, and clear to thy view. (TA.) b2: Also He walked along, or traversed, what is termed جَدَد. (K.) And اجدّ القَوْمُ The people, or company of men, came to what is so termed: (S:) and ascended upon the surface (جَدِيد) of the ground: or went upon sand such as is termed جَدَد. (TA.) A4: See also 1, in three places.5 تجدّد [originally It became cut, or cut off. b2: And hence,] It (an udder) lost, or became devoid of, its milk: (S, K:) and [in like manner]

↓ جُدَّ, aor. ـَ inf. n. جَدَدٌ, it, (a breast, and an udder,) became dry. (A Heyth, TA.) b3: Hence also, [It was newly made; as though newly cut off from the web;] said of a garment: (TA:) and it (a thing, S, A) became new: (S, A, K:) and it (a thing, or an affair,) originated; was originated, or innovated; or was done newly, or for the first time: and sometimes ↓ استجدّ is used intransitively [in the same senses]. (Msb.) [Also (assumed tropical:) It (an action, as, for instance, ablution, and a compact, or the like,) was renewed. See جَدَّدَ as syn. with أَجَدَّ.]10 إِسْتَجْدَ3َ see 4, in two places: A2: and see also 5.

جَدٌّ Fortune, or particularly good fortune, syn. حَظٌّ, (S, A, Mgh, L, K,) and بَخْتٌ, (S, A, L, K,) in the world, or in wordly circumstances; (TA;) advance in the world, or in worldly circumstances: (Mgh:) pl. [of mult.] جُدُودٌ (S) and [of pauc.] أَجْدَادٌ and أَجُدٌّ. (TA.) Yousay, فُلَانٌ ذُو جَدٍّ فِى كَذَا Such a one is possessed of good fortune in such a thing. (L.) And it is said in a trad. respecting the day of resurrection, وَإِذَا أَصْحَابُ الجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ And lo, the people who were possessed of good fortune and riches in the world were imprisoned. (L.) and in a prayer, (L,) لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ The good worldly fortune of him who is possessed of such fortune will not profit him, (Mgh, L,) in the world to come, (L,) in lieu of Thee; (Mgh, L; *) i. e., of obedience to Thee: (Mgh, and Mughnee in art. مِنْ:) or in lieu of the good fortune that cometh from Thee: or, as some say, will not defend him from Thee. (Mughnee ubi suprà. [See also another explanation below.]) Hence, أَجَدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ [or أَجَدِّكَ]; and, accord. to some, وَجَدِّكَ: see جِدٌّ. b2: One's lot in life; and the means of subsistence that one receives from the bounty of God. (L, K.) One says, لِفُلَانٍ فِى

هٰذَا الأَمْرِ جَدٌّ Such a one has in this thing, or state of affairs, means of subsistence. (A'Obeyd, L.) b3: Richness; competence, or sufficiency; or the state of being in no need, or of having no wants, or of having few wants. (S, L, Msb.) لا ينفع ذا الجدّ منك الجدّ, [explained above, is said to mean] Riches, &c., will not profit the possessor thereof with Thee; for nothing will profit him but acting in obedience to Thee: منك here signifies عِنْدَكَ. (S, Msb.) b4: Greatness, or majesty; (Mujáhid, S, Mgh, Msb, K;) accord. to some, specially of God: (TA:) so in the Kur lxxii. 3: (S, TA:) or his freedom from all wants or the like; syn. غِنًى. (S.) Hence, تَعَالَى جَدُّكَ, (Mgh, TA,) in a trad. respecting prayer, (TA,) Exalted be thy greatness, or majesty. (Mgh, * TA.) b5: See also أَجَدَّكَ, as an interrogative phrase, voce جِدٌّ.

A2: Also, (S, K,) and ↓ مَجْدُودٌ, (S, A, Mgh, K,) and ↓ جَدِيدٌ, (S, Msb, K,) and ↓ جَدِّيٌّ, (S,) and ↓ جُدٌّ, and ↓ جُدِّيٌّ, the last two with damm, (K,) applied to a man, Fortunate; or possessed of good fortune; (S, A, Mgh, Msb;) or possessed of good worldly fortune: (TA:) or possessing great fortune, or great good fortune: (K:) [the words here given from the S are there coupled with synonyms of the same form, thus; جَدِيدٌ ↓ حَظِيظٌ, and مَحْظُوظٌ ↓ مَجْدُودق, and جَدٌّ حَظُّ, and حَظِّىٌّ ↓ جَدِّيٌّ; on the authority of ISk:] ↓ جُدٌّ, with damm, as an epithet applied to a man, is said by Sb to be syn. with مَجْدُودٌ; and its pl. is جُدٌّونَ only. (L.) A3: Also جَدُّ, A grandfather; the father's father, and the mother's father: (S, Msb, K:) and (assumed tropical:) a higher ascendant; an ancestor: (Msb:) and ↓ جَدَّةٌ a grandmother; the father's mother, and the mother's mother: (K:) [and (assumed tropical:) a female ancestor:] pl. of the former, أَجْدَادٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and جُدُودٌ and جُدُودَةٌ: (K:) and of the latter, جَدَّاتٌ. (TA.) Hence, accord. to some, وَجَدِّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ: see جِدٌّ.

A4: See also جُدَّةٌ: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ.

جُدٌّ: see جَدٌّ, in two places.

A2: See also جُدَّةٌ. b2: Also The side (جَانِب) of anything. (K.) A3: And A well in a place where is much herbage, or pasture: (S, Msb, K:) a well abounding with water; (K;) [and] so ↓ جُدْجُدٌ; (KL;) but A'Obeyd says that this is not known: (L:) and, contr., a well containing little water: a scanty water, or water little in quantity: a water at the extremity of a [desert such as is called] فَلَاة: (K:) an old water: (Th, K:) an old well: (KL:) pl. (in all these senses, TA) أَجْدَادٌ. (Msb, TA.) جِدٌّ [accord. to some an inf. n., but accord. to others a simple subst., (see جَدَّ,)] Seriousness, or earnestness, contr. of هَزْلٌ, (S, A, Msb, K,) in speech. (Msb.) Hence, ثَلَاثٌ جِدُّهُنَّ جِدٌّ وَهَزْلُهُنَّ جِدٌّ [There are three things in relation to which what is serious is serious and what is jesting is serious]: a saying of Mohammad, whereby he forbade a man's divorcing and emancipating and marrying and then retracting, saying “ I was jesting; ” as was customary in the time of paganism. (Msb.) أَجِدَّكَ and ↓ أَجَدَّكَ signify the same; (S;) but the former is the more chaste; (TA;) جِدّ and جَدّ being thus used only as prefixed nouns: (S, K:) As says that the meaning is, أَبِجِدٍّ مِنْكَ هٰذَا [Does this proceed from thee in seriousness, or in earnest?]; and that جِدّ is put in the accus. case because of the rejection of the [prep.] ب: AA says that the meaning is, مَا لَكَ أَجِدًّا مِنْكَ [What aileth thee? Doth it proceed from thee in seriousness, or in earnest?]; and that جدّ is put in the accus. case as an inf. n.: Th says that the phrase as it occurs in poetry is أَجِدَّكَ, with kesr: (S:) but when it occurs with وَ [in the place of أَ, or with أَ in the sense of وَ, as a particle denoting an oath,] it is ↓ وَجَدِّكَ [or أَجَدِّكَ], with fet-h: (S, K:) yon say, وَجَدِّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ, (K, in the CK وَجَدَّكَ,) meaning, By thy grandfather, do not [such a thing]: or by thy fortune, or good fortune, do not: (TA:) also, when you say, أَجِدَّكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ, [or أَجِدِّكَ, for أَ (q. v.) is substituted for a particle of swearing, as in أَللّٰهِ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ,] the meaning is, I adjure thee by thy truth, (Lth, K,) and by thy seriousness, or earnestness, (Lth, TA,) do not: and when you say, لَا تَفْعَلْ ↓ أَجَدَّكَ, [or أَجَدِّكَ,] the meaning is, I adjure thee by thy fortune, or good fortune, do not: (Lth, K:) Aboo- 'Alee Esh-Shalowbeenee asserts that it implies the signification of an oath. (MF.) In the phrase اجدّك لا تَفْعَلُ, AAF says, we may consider لا تفعل as put in the place of a denotative of state; or the phrase may be originally اجدّك أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَ, ان being suppressed, and its government annulled: [therefore it may be rendered, in the former case, Is it with seriousness on thy part, thou doing such a thing? and in the latter case, Is it with seriousness on thy part that thou will not do such a thing? i. e. dost thou mean seriously that thou will not do it? or in this case, اجدّك may be used as a form of adjuration in one of the senses explained above, and لَا تَفْعَلُ may mean, that thou do not such a thing; or اجدّك may mean وَجَدَّكَ, (explained above, and so in the three exs. below,) and لَا تَفْعَلُ, thou wilt not do it:] and, as AHei says, there is here a nice point, which is this; that the noun [meaning the pronoun] to which جدّ is prefixed should agree in person with the verb which follows it; so that one should say, اجدِّى لَا أُكْرِمُكَ, and اجدّكَ لَا تَفْعَلُ, and اجدّهُ لَا يَزُورُنَا; because جدّ is an inf. n. corroborating the proposition that follows it. (MF.) b2: Also, [and in this case, likewise, accord. to some an inf. n., but accord. to others a simple subst., (see, again, جَدَّ,)] A striving, labour, or toil; exertion of one's self, or of one's power or efforts or endeavours or ability; vigorousness, strenuousness, laboriousness, diligence, studiousness, sedulousness, earnestness, or energy; painstaking, or extraordinary painstaking; (S, L, Msb, K;) in affairs, (S,) or in an affair. (Msb, K.) Hence, جِدًّا [meaning In a great, or an extraordinary, degree; greatly, much, exceedingly, or extraordinarily; very; very greatly, or very much; extremely]; as in the phrase, (Msb,) فُلَانٌ مُحْسِنٌ جِدًّا [Such a one is beneficent in a great, or an extraordinary, degree; very, exceedingly, or extremely, beneficent]: you should not say جَدًّا. (S, Msb. * [In my copy of the Msb, it is محسن جدّا بالفتح: but the context shows that there is an omission here, and that, after جدّا, we should read, as in the S, وَلَا تَقُلْ جَدًّا.]) جِدًّا [in a phrase of this kind] is put in the accus. case as an inf. n. [of which the verb is understood; so that, in the ex. given above, the proper meaning is, يَجِدُّ فِى الإِحْسَانِ جِدًّا striving in beneficence with a great striving]; because it is not from the same root as the preceding word, nor is it identical with it [in meaning]. (L.) You say also, فِى هٰذَا خَطَرٌ جِدَّ عَظِيمٍ, meaning عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا [(assumed tropical:) In this is a very, or an extremely, great danger, or risk]. (S.) And هٰذا العَالِمُ جِدَّ العَالِمِ This is the learned man, the extremely [or the very] learned man. (L.) And هٰذَا عَالِمٌ جِدَّ عَالِمٍ This is a learned man, an extremely [or a very] learned man. (L, * K.) b3: Also (tropical:) Haste. (S, L, K, TA.) So in the phrase فُلَانٌ عَلَى جِدِّ أَمْرٍ (tropical:) Such a one is in haste in an affair. (S, L, TA.) A2: Also Executed seriously, or in earnest, [in which there is no jesting,] and excessive; syn. مُحَقَّقٌ مُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ [meaning مُحَقَّقٌ فِيهِ وَمُبَالَغٌ فِيهِ; (see جَدَّ فِى أَمْرِهِ;) جِدٌّ thus used as an epithet having an intensive signification because it is originally an inf. n., or as some say, a simple subst.]: (L, K:) applied in this sense to a punishment: (L:) and also applied to a pace. (K in art. نص.) A3: See also جُدَّةٌ: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ.

جَدَّةٌ: see جَدٌّ, near the end of the paragraph.

جُدَّةٌ The bank, or side, or a river; as also جِدَّةٌ and ↓ جِدٌّ (IAth, L, K) and ↓ جُدٌّ (IAth, Mgh, L) and ↓ جَدٌّ, (Mgh, L, K,) accord. to some, but correctly جُدٌّ; so called because cut off from the river, or because cut by the water, in like manner as it is called سَاحِلٌ because it is abraded by the water: (Mgh:) or the part of a river that is near the land; as also ↓ جِدَّةٌ: (L:) and the shore of the sea: (MF:) accord. to As, جدّة is an arabicized word from the Nabathean كدّ. (L.) b2: The stripe, or streak, that is on the back of the ass, differing from his general colour. (S, A, * K.) And (tropical:) A streak (Fr, S, K, TA) in anything, (TA,) as in a mountain, (Fr, S,) differing in colour from the rest of the mountain, (S,) white and black and red; (Fr, TA;) as also in the sky: (A, TA:) pl. جُدَدٌ, (Fr, S,) occurring in the Kur xxxv. 25; (S;) where some read جُدُدٌ, pl. of ↓ جديدة [app. جَدِيدَةٌ], which is syn. with جُدَّةٌ; and some, جَدَدٌ [q. v.]. (Bd.) b3: A sign, or mark, syn. عَلَامَةٌ, (Th, K,) of, or in, anything. (Th, TA.) b4: A beaten way, marked with lines [cut by the feet of the men and beasts that have travelled along it]: (Az, L:) or a road, or way: pl. جُدَدٌ: (Msb:) and جُدُودٌ, also, [app. another pl. of جُدَّةٌ,] signifies paths, or tracks, forming lines upon the ground. (Az, L.) See also جَادَّةٌ. b5: [Hence, app., but accord. to the S from the same word as signifying “a streak,”] رَكِبَ جُدَّةً مِنَ الأَمْرِ, (S, A, TA,) or جُدَّةَ الأَمْرِ, (K,) (tropical:) He set upon a way, or manner, of performing the affair: (A:) or he formed an opinion respecting the affair, or case. (Zj, S, A, K.) b6: See also جِدَّةٌ.

جِدَّةٌ: see جُدَّةٌ, in two places: b2: and see جَدِيدٌ. b3: Also A rag; or piece torn off from a garment; and so ↓ جُدَّةٌ: thus in the saying, مَا عَلَيْهِ جِدَّةٌ and جُدَّةٌ [There is not upon him a rag]. (K.) b4: A collar upon the neck of a dog: (Th, L, K:) pl. جُدَدٌ [like لُحًى pl. of لِحْيَةٌ, or perhaps a mistake for جِدَدٌ]. (L.) جَدَدٌ Hard ground: (S:) or hard level ground: (Har p. 522:) [see also جَدْجَدٌ:] or rough level ground: (K:) or rough ground: or level ground: (TA:) or a level and spacious tract of land; a tract such as is called صَحْرَآء, and such as is called فَضَآء, containing no soft place in which the feet sink, nor any mountain, nor any [hill such as is called] أَكَمَة; sometimes wide, and sometimes of little width: (ISh:) [and] a conspicuous road: (Bd in xxxv. 25:) pl. أَجْدَادٌ. (ISh.) It is said in a prov., مَنْ سَلَكَ الجَدَدَ أَمِنَ العِثَارَ [He who walks along hard, or hard and level, ground is secure from stumbling]; (S, TA;) meaning, he who pursues the course marked out by common consent is secure from stumbling. (TA.) and مَكَانٌ جَدَدٌ occurs in a trad., meaning Level ground. (TA.) b2: See also جَدِيدٌ. b3: Also Sand that is thin, or fine, (K, TA,) and sloping down. (TA.) b4: And A thing resembling a سِلْعَة [or ganglion] in the neck of a camel. (K.) جَدَادٌ and ↓ جِدَادٌ The cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. (S, * A, * L, Msb, * K. *) You say, هٰذَا زَمَنُ الجَدَادِ and الجِدَادِ [This is the time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of the palmtrees]. (S, A, Msb. *) Some say that جداد signifies particularly [as above,] the cutting off [of the fruit] of palm-trees; and جذاذ, the cutting off of all fruits, in a general sense: others say that they signify the same. (TA.) b2: Also The time, or season, of the cutting off of the fruit of palm-trees. (S, * L.) You say جَدَادٌ and جِدَادٌ, like صَرَامٌ and صِرَامٌ, and قَطَافٌ and قِطَافٌ; (Ks, S;) whence it seems as though the measures فَعَالٌ and فِعَالٌ were uniformly applicable to every noun signifying the time of the action; such nouns being likened to أَوَانٌ and إِوَانٌ. (S.) جِدَادٌ: see جَدَادٌ, and جَادٌّ.

جَدُودٌ, (ISk, S, A, K,) or جَدُودَةٌ, (L,) Having little milk, (ISk, S,) or not from any imperfection; (L;) applied to a ewe, (ISk, S, K,) but not to a she-goat; the epithet مَصُورٌ being used in the latter case: (ISk, S:) or a ewe or she-goat having no milk; as also ↓ جَدَّآءُ: (A:) pl. جَدَائِدُ (S, L) and جِدَادٌ. (L.) b2: Also A fat she-ass: pl. جِدَادٌ. (Az, K.) جَدِيدٌ, of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ, [i. e. ↓ مَجْدُودٌ,] Cut, or cut off. (S, Msb.) A poet says, أَبِى حُبِّى سُلَيْمَى أَنْ يَبِيدَا وَأَمْسَى حَبْلُهَا خَلَقًا جَدِيدَا [My love of Suleymà hath refused to perish; but her cord (i. e. her tie of affection to me) hath become worn out and cut]: (S:) [as جديد signifies “new” more commonly than "cut,"] this verse appears as though it involved a contradiction. (MF.) b2: Applied to a garment, or a piece of cloth [sufficient for a garment or the like], Newly cut off [from the web] by the weaver: (S, K:) and so (without ة, S) applied to a مِلْحَفَة; (S, A;) thus applied to a fem. n. because syn. with ↓ مَجْدُودَةٌ; (S, ISd;) or, accord. to Sb, because by ملحفة in this case is meant إِزَار, and for a like reason in like cases; (Ham p. 555;) but one also says جَدِيدَةٌ; (ISd;) and accord. to some, جديد is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلٌ, and therefore the ة is regularly affixed to it: (Ham ubi suprà:) the pl. is جُدُدٌ (Mbr, Th, S, A, K) and جُدَدٌ; (Az, A'Obeyd, Mbr;) but the former is the more common. (TA.) b3: and hence, (L,) applied to a garment, (L, TA,) or a thing, (S, Msb,) New; contr. of قَدِيمٌ, (Msb,) or contr. of خَلَقٌ; (S, L;) from جِدَّةٌ as contr. of بِلًى: (K:) pl. [of pauc.] أَجِدَّةٌ and [of mult.] جُدُدٌ and جُدَدٌ. (L.) You say, أَصْبَحَتْ خَلَقُهُمْ جُدُدًا, a phrase mentioned by Lh, meaning خُلْقَانُهُمْ جُدُدًا [i. e. Their old worn-out garments became replaced by new]: or جُدُدًا may be here put for جَدِيدًا. (L.) b4: And hence, (TA,) الجَدِيدَانِ and ↓ الأَجَدَّانِ The night and the day; (S, Msb, K;) because they never become impaired by time. (TA.) Yousay, لَا أَفْعَلُهُ مَا اخْتَلَفَ الجَدِيدَانِ and ↓ الأَجَدَّانِ [I will not do it while the day and the night succeed each other]: (S:) or مَا كَرَّ الجَدِيدَانِ and الأَجَدَّانِ [while the day and the night return time after time: i. e., ever]. (A.) b5: Hence likewise, جَدِيدٌ also signifies A thing of which one has had no knowledge. (L.) b6: And hence, (L,) الجَدِيدُ signifies Death: (K:) or is applied as an epithet to death, in the dial. of Hudheyl. (L.) Accord. to Akh and El-Mugháfis El-Báhilee, جَدِيدُ المَوْتِ means The commencement of death. (L.) A2: Also The face, or surface, of the earth, or ground; [as though it were cut;] (S, K, TA;) and so ↓ جَدَدٌ, and ↓ جِدَّةٌ, and ↓ جَدٌّ, (K,) and ↓ جِدٌّ. (TA.) A3: See also جَدٌّ, in two places.

جُدَادَةٌ What is cut off from the roots, or eradicated, of, or from, palm-trees &c. (Lh, TA.) جَدِيدَةٌ The kind of pad, or stuffed thing, (رِفَادَةٌ,) and the felt, stuck, or attached, beneath the two boards of a horse's saddle: there are two such things, called جَدِيدَتَانِ: (S:) or the جديدتان consist of the felt that is stuck, or attached, in the inner side of a horse's and of a camel's saddle: (L:) but جديدة thus applied is a post-classical word: the [classical] Arabs say جَدْيَةٌ, (S,) or, as in J's own handwriting, جَدِيَّةٌ. (So in the margin of a copy of the S.) A2: See also جُدَّةٌ.

جَدِّىٌّ: see جَدٌّ, in two places.

جُدِّىٌّ: see جَدٌّ.

جَدْجَدٌ Hard level ground: (S, K:) [see also جَدَدٌ:] smooth ground: and rough ground: (TA:) a smooth tract such as is called فَيْف. (AA, TA.) جُدْجُدٌ [The cricket;] i. q. صَرَّارُ اللَّيْلِ, (S, M,) a small flying thing, (K,) that leaps, or springs, or bounds, much, (S, M,) and creaks by night, (TA,) and bears a resemblance to the جَرَاد [or locust]: (S, M, K:) and a certain insect like the جُنْدَب, (M, L, K,) except that it is generally blackish, and short, but in some instances inclining to white; also called صَرْصَرٌ: (M, L:) or i. q. صَدًى and جُنْدَبٌ: (El-'Adebbes:) pl. جَدَاجِدُ. (S.) Accord. to IAar, A certain insect that clings to a skin, or hide, and eats it. (TA.) A2: See also جُدٌّ.

جَادٌّ act. part. n. of جَدَّ; (Mgh, L;) Cutting, or cutting off. (Mgh.) A2: أَجَادُّ أَنْتَ أَمْ هَازِلٌ Art thou serious or jesting? (A.) It is said in a trad., لَا يَأْخُذَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَتَاعَ أَخِيهِ لَاعِبًا جَادًّا [By no means shall any one of you take the property of his brother in play and in earnest]; by which is meant taking a thing without meaning to steal it, but meaning to vex and anger the owner, so that the taker is in play with respect to theft, but in earnest in annoying. (TA in art. لعب.) b2: فُلَانٌ جَادٌّ Such a one is striving, labouring, or toiling; exerting himself or his power or efforts or endeavours or ability; &c. (TA.) And ↓ فُلَانٌ جَادٌّ مُجِدٌّ, thus with the two similar words together, (As, S, L,) signifies the same [in an intensive degree]. (L, TA.)
