muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarجُنُوحٌ جَنْحٌ

Core sense — he, or it, inclined, or leant, towards itgenerated

1.1he, or it, inclined, or leant, to it—إِلَيْهِ

which agrees with analogy, of the dialect of Temeem, and the most chaste form; also جَنُحَ, of the dialect of Keys, and جَنِحَ.

اجتنح and اجنح have the same meaning.

he, or it, inclined, or leant, towards it—لَهُ

In some copies of the K, through the omission of a و after it, this is made to relate to what follows it there.

and if they incline to peace, incline to it—وَإِنْ جَنَحُوا لِلسَّلْمِ فَٱجْنَحْ لَهَا

Qur'ān 8:63. سلم is made feminine here because it has the same meaning as مُصَالَحَة.

One also says جَنَحُوا لِلسَّلْمِ and إِلَيْهِ.

1.1.1he inclined, or leant, on one side; he leant upon his bow—اجتنح

Said of a man.

he leant upon him—اجتنح عَلَيْهِ
she leant on one side—جَنَحَتْ

Said of a camel lying on her breast.

1.1.2

He (a man) set about a thing, to do it with his hands, his breast leaning over it.

1.1.3he rested himself upon his elbows, having set them on the ground or on a cushion—جَنَحَ عَلَى مِرْفَقَيْهِ

Said of a man.

.

1.1.4he inclined to them; he followed them and submitted to them—جَنَحَ إِلَيْهِمْ

Said of a sect.

Also لَهُمْ.

1.1.5[the sun inclined to setting]—جَنَحَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِلْغُرُوبِ
1.1.6it inclined to going, or to coming; or it came on, or approached—جَنَحَ

Said of the night, of the evening, and of the darkness.

.

1.1.7

Also, with the same muḍāriʿ and maṣdar, said of a bird: it contracted its wings to descend, or alight, and approached like one falling, going to a place of refuge.

1.1.8they lowered the fore part of the neck [in running]; or they went quickly, or swiftly—جَنَحَتْ

Said of camels.

1.1.9

Also, said of a ship: she came to shallow water and stuck to the ground, so that she ceased to move.

1.2he gave with his [جَنَاح, or] hand—جَنَحَ

. Said of a man.

1.3he hit, or hurt, its جَنَاح [or wing], that is, the جناح of the bird—جَنَحَهُ

.

he hit, or hurt, the arm of such a one—جَنَحَ فُلَانًا

In some copies of the K, through the omission of a و, this meaning is wrongly made to relate to اجنح; so in the copies used by MF and SM, who state that the right verb is جَنَحَ.

1.4he had his جَوَانِح [the ribs so called] broken by the heaviness of his load—جُنِحَ

Said of a camel. Or: he had the first of his ribs broken in the part next the breast.

With damm, like عُنِىَ.

1.5he regarded an act as a crime, or sin—جَنَحَ
I regard as a crime, or sin, my eating of it—إِنّى لَأَجْنَحُ أَنْ آكُلَ مِنْهُ

In a tradition about the property of the orphan.

Nounجَنَاحٌ4 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a wing; the arm of a man; a sidegenerated

1figurative · مجازthe wing of a bird or other flying thing—يَد

In a bird or flying thing it is the limb that corresponds to the يد of a man; and also the يد [i.e. arm, sometimes also meaning hand, (see a meaning of جَنَحَ)] of a man; and the upper arm, from the shoulder to the elbow — each of these is so called because it is on one side of the body; and the armpit.

Plural أَجْنِحَةٌ and أَجْنُحٌ. The singular, though masculine, takes the latter plural, which properly belongs to a feminine singular of this form, because جناح is assimilated to رِيشَةٌ [or rather, I think, to يَدٌ, which is feminine]; but some hold جناح to be both masculine and feminine.

[he has the wing clipped, meaning] he lacks strength, power or ability; he is powerless—هُوَ مَقْصُوصُ الجَنَاحِ
[he abased himself to him; literally, he lowered his wing to him]—خَفَضَ لَهُ جَنَاحَهُ
they quitted their homes, or usual places—رَكِبُوا جَنَاحَىِ الطَّائِرِ

But see the explanation of a similar phrase in the Qur'ān, below.

such a one is in a state of disquiet, and confounded, unable to see his right course—فُلَانٌ فِى جَنَاحَىْ طَائِرٍ
such a one worked hard and diligently at an affair, managing well—رَكِبَ فُلَانٌ جَنَاحَىِ النَّعَامَةِ
[literally, we are on the wing of travel; meaning] we are about to travel—نَحْنُ عَلَى جَنَاحِ السَّفَرِ
a certain star of Pegasus—جَنَاحُ الفَرَسِ

One of the four bright stars in Pegasus which form a square; the other three are the star at the extremity of the neck, called عَيْنُ الفَرَسِ [i.e. a of Pegasus], that called مَنْكِبُ الفَرَسِ [of Pegasus], and the star [a of Andromeda] that belongs to both Pegasus and Andromeda.
