جر

. Also جرّر, maṣdar تَجْرِيرٌ [and apparently تَجِرَّةٌ, said to be of the measure تَفْعِلَةٌ from الجَرُّ], with teshdeed to denote repetition or frequency of the action, or its relation to many objects, or intensiveness. Also اجترّ, and اِجدرّ, in which the ت is changed into د, though you do not say اِجْدَرَأَ for اِجْتَرَأَ, nor اِجْدَرَحَ for اِجْتَرَحَ.

Mentioned in the article on بعد.

Mentioned in the article on دعو.

Said of a woman: she went beyond nine months without bringing forth, exceeding that term by four days, or three.

.

Said of a camel: she reached the time of year in which she had been covered, then went some days beyond it without bringing forth; or she withheld her fetus in her womb after the completion of the year, for a month, or two months, or forty days only. Th says that she sometimes withholds her fetus a month beyond the usual time. [See also جَرَّتْ.]

Said of a mare: she exceeded eleven months and did not foal. The more she exceeds the usual term, the stronger her foal is; and the longest excess after eleven months is fifteen nights. According to AO, the time of a mare's gestation, from when she ceases to be covered to her foaling, is eleven months; and if she exceeds that time at all, they say of her اللَّيْلَةُ.

See form 1, first sentence.

Maṣdar مُجَارَرَةٌ or مُجَارَّةٌ: he delayed with him, or put him off, by promising him payment time after time; same as طَاوَلَهُ or مَا طِلَهُ. Or: he put off giving him his due, and drew him from his place to another. Or the same as جَانَاهُ, meaning he committed a crime against him. Or حَابَاهُ. [But this seems to be a mistranscription.]

Or: and do not act towards him in an evil, or hostile, manner; or do not do evil to him, obliging him to do the like in return; or do not contend, or dispute, with him. Or: do not bring an injury upon him.

According to one reading it is لَا تُجَارِهِ, without teshdeed, from الجَرْىُ, and means: do not contend with him for superiority.

The expression is as though it meant: he made him drag along the spear.

اجرّ as an intransitive verb: see form 8.

See form 1, in three places.

Said of a camel, and of any other animal having a كَرِش, that is, any cloven-hoofed animal.

Also اجرّ.

See form 1, in two places.

As though I became to him one that was dragged, or drawn, along.

He (a stallion-camel) reiterated his voice, or cry, or his braying, in his windpipe.

He poured water down his throat, maṣdar as above; also تَجَرْجَرَ. Or: he swallowed it in consecutive gulps, so that it made a sound, or sounds; and so also the latter verb.

Said in a tradition of one who drinks from a vessel of gold or silver.

Or: he shall make the fire of Hell gurgle again and again in his belly; from جَرْجَرَ, said of a stallion-camel.

Most read النارَ, as above; but according to one reading it is النارُ, and the meaning is that the fire of Hell shall produce sounds in his belly like those which a camel makes in his windpipe. The verb is used figuratively here, and is masculine, with ى, because of the separation between it and النار; but this reading and explanation are not right.

لَا ذَا جَرَ, for لَا جَرَمَ, and لَا ذَا جَرَمَ: see the article on جرم.

The foot, bottom, base, or lowest part, of a mountain; like ذَيْلٌ. Or: the place where it rises from the plain to the rugged part.

Or الجّرُّ أَصْلُ الجَبَلِ is a mistranscription of Fr's, and is correctly الجُرَاصِلُ الجَبَلُ [that is, جُراصِلٌ means 'a mountain']. But جُرَاصِلٌ is not mentioned anywhere else in the K, nor by any of the writers on strange words; and SM says there is clearly no mistranscription.

This occurs in a tradition.

Its plural is جِرَارٌ.

See also جَرَّةٌ.

لَا جَرَّ is the same as لَا جَرَمَ: see the article on جرم.

A jar; a well-known vessel; an earthen vessel, made of potters' clay. Or: anything made of clay.

Diminutive جُرَيْرَةٌ; plural جِرَارٌ, جَرَّاتٌ, and جَرٌّ [or this last is rather an ism jamʿ, meaning pottery, or jars, and the like], like تَمْرٌ in relation to تَمْرَةٌ. Or, according to some, this last is a dialectal variant of جَرَّةٌ.

Beverage of the kind called نَبِيذ made in such a vessel is forbidden in a tradition; but according to IAth the tradition means a vessel of this kind glazed inside, because the beverage grows strong, and ferments, more quickly in a glazed earthen vessel.

See also جِرَّةٌ.

And see what follows next.

Also جَرَّةٌ. A small piece of wood, or a piece of wood about a cubit long, with a snare at the head and a cord at the middle, with which gazelles are caught. When the gazelle is caught in it, he struggles with it for a while and labours at it to escape; and when it has overcome him and he is worn out by it, he becomes still and stays in it — and this is what is meant by his becoming at peace with it.

Or it is a staff, or stick, tied to a snare hidden in the earth, for catching the gazelle, having cords of sinew. When his fore leg enters the snare, the cords of sinew tie in knots upon that leg; and when he leaps to escape and stretches out his fore leg, he strikes with that stick his other fore leg and his hind leg, and breaks them.

A proverb, applied to one who opposes the counsel, or opinion, of a people and is then obliged to agree; or to one who falls into a case, struggles in it, and then becomes still.

Another proverb.

From a saying of Ibn-Lisán-el-Hummarah, referring to sheep. By جرّتيها he means their place of pasture in a severe season, when they are liable to perish, and when they are scattered by night and liable to be attacked, or destroyed, by beasts of prey; so says ISk. Az says that he calls their مجر two snares, into which they might fall and perish.

A mode, or manner, of dragging, drawing, pulling, or stretching.

The stomach of the camel, and of a cloven-hoofed animal. This is the primary meaning; by extension it has the meaning that follows.

A female that exceeds the usual time of pregnancy. A she-camel that withholds her fetus in her womb after the completion of the year — for a month, or two months, or forty days only; or three months after the year.

Those that do so are the most generous of camels. None do so but those that usually bring forth in the season called الرَّبِيع, not those that usually bring forth in the season called الصَّيْف; and only those that are red, or brown, those of a white hue mixed with red, and those that are ash-coloured — never, or hardly ever, those of a dark grey colour without any admixture of white, because of the thickness of their skins, the narrowness of their insides, and the hardness of their flesh. So IAar. [See also form 1, and see خَصُوفٌ.]

See also what follows next.

This phrase, and من جَرَّائِكَ, من جَرَاك, من جَرَائِكَ, and من جَرِيرَتِكَ, mean من أَجْلِكَ — that is, originally, I did so as a result of your committing it, namely a crime; and then, by extension of its application, because of you, or of what you did, on your account, for your sake, indicating any kind of causation.

This is Bd's explanation, in verse 35, of من جَرَّاكَ and من أَجْلِكَ.

One should not say مِجْرَاكَ or بِجْرَاكَ.

Written in the Towsheeh with fet-h to the ج as well.

The eel; a kind of fish, long and smooth, resembling the serpent, and called in Persian مَارْ مَاهِى. It is said to be a dialectal variant of جِرِّيثٌ. It is not eaten by the Jews, and 'Alee forbade eating it; it has no scales. Or: any fish having no scales. So the Towsheeh.
