جَلَلٌ جلى جلل A great, momentous, or formidable, thing, affair, matter, case, or event; as also ↓ جُلَّى (S, K, TA) and ↓ جُلَّاآءُ: (TA:) or ↓ جُلَى [as also جَلَلٌ and ↓ جُلَّاآءُ] signifies a hard, difficult, severe, or distressing, and a great, momentous, or formidable, thing, or affair, &c.: (Msb:) pl. [of جَلَلٌ,] أَجْلَالٌ; (TA;) and of ↓ جُلَلٌ جُلَّى; (S, K.) El-Hárith Ibn-Waaleh says, قَوْمِى هُمُ قَتَلُوا أُمَيْمَ أَخِى فَاـِذَا رَمَيْتُ يُصِيبُنِى سَهْمِى فَلَئِنْ عَفَوْتُ لَأَعْفُوَنْ جَلَلًا وَلَئِنْ سَطوْتُ لَأُوْهِنَنْ عَظْمِى [ My people, they have slain, O Umeymeh, (أُمَيْمَ being apocopated, for أُمَيْمَةُ,) my brother; so, if I shoot, my arrow will strike me; and verily, if I forgive, I shall indeed forgive a great thing; but verily, if I assault, I shall indeed weaken my bone: see Ham p. 97]. (S.) And Beshámeh Ibn-Hazn says, وَمَكْرُمَةً ↓ وَاـِنْ دَعَوْتَ اـِلَى جُلَّى يَوْمًا سَرَاةً كِرَامَ النَّاسِ فَا@دْعِينَا [ And if thou invite to a great affair, and a generous act, any day, manly and noble persons, the generous of mankind, invite us ]: (TA:) or جُلَّى is here an inf. n. in the place of جَلَالٌ and جَلَالَةٌ, like رُجْعَى, &c. (Ham p. 218.) ― -b2- Also, i. e., جَلَلٌ, A small, (K,) an easy, or a mean, paltry, or contemptible, thing, affair, matter, case, or event: (S, K, TA:) thus bearing two contr. significations. (S, K.) Imra-el-Keys says, on the occasion of his father's having been slain, أَلَا كُلُّ شَىْءٍ سِوَاهُ جَلَلْ بِ قَتْلِ بَنِى أَسَدٍ رَبَّهُمٌ meaning [ By Benoo-Asad's slaying their lord: now surely everything beside it is ] a mean, paltry, or small, matter. (S, * TA.) ― -b3- فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ جَلَلِكَ I did that on account of thee, for thy sake, or because of thee; syn. مِنْ أَجْلِكَ; (S, K *) as also ↓ من جُلِّكَ, (K,) and ↓ من جَلَالِكَ, (S, K,) and ↓ من تَجِلَّتِكَ, and ↓ من اـِجْلَالِكَ, and من أَجْلِ ↓ اـِجْلَالِكَ. (K.) Jemeel says, رَسْمُ دَارٍ وَقَفْتُ فِى طَلَلِهْ كِدْتُ أَقْضِى الغِداةَ مِنْ جَلَلِةْ meaning [ The remains marking the site of a house, I paused at the relic thereof that was still standing: I almost died, in the early morning, ] on account of it (مِنْ أَجْلِهِ), or, as some say, because of its greatness in my eye. (S.) -A2- Accord. to Zj, جَلَلْ is a particle syn. with نَعَمْ. (Mughnee.)
