جل

2 جلّل جلى جلل , inf. n. تَجْلِيلٌ, said of a thing, i. q. عَمَّ [as meaning It included persons, or things, &c., in common, or generally, or universally, within the compass of its influence, or effects ]. (S, TA.) So in the phrase سَحَابٌ يُجَلِّلُ الأَرْضَ بِالمَطَرِ [ Clouds that include the land in common, or generally, or universally, within the compass of their rain; i. e., that rain upon the land throughout its general, or universal, extent ]: (S, TA:) or, as in the A, thundering clouds, covering the land with rain. (TA.) And so in the phrase, جَلَّلَ المَطَرُ الأَرْضَ The rain included the general, or universal, extent of the land within the compass of its fall; and covered the land so as not to leave anything uncovered. (IF, Msb.) ― -b2- And hence, [in a general sense,] He covered a thing. (Msb.) It [or he ] ascended, rose, mounted, got, was, or became, upon, or over, a thing; (Ham p. 45;) as also ↓ تَجلّل. (S, K.) ― -b3- He clad a horse (S, K) or beast (K) with a جُلّ [or covering for protection from the cold ]; (S, K;) as also ↓ جَلَّ. (K.)
