جن

4 أَجْنَ3َ see 1, in four places: -A2- and see 8. -A3- Also اجنّهُ He (God) caused him to be, or become, مَجْنُون [originally signifying possessed by a جِنِّىّ, or by جِنّ; and hence generally meaning bereft of reason; or mad, insane, unsound in mind or intellect, or wanting therein ]. (S, Msb, K.) [And so, vulgarly, ↓ جنّنهُ, whoever, or whatever, be the agent.] ― -b2- ما اجنّهُ [ How mad, or insane, &c., is he! ] is anomalous, (Th, S,) being formed from a verb of the pass. form, namely, جُنَّ; (Th, TA;) for of the مَضْرُوب one should not say, مَا أَضْرَبَهُ; nor of the مَسْلُول should one say, مَا أَسَلَّهُ: (S:) Sb says that the verb of wonder is used in this case because it denotes want of intellect [which admits of degrees]. (TA.) -A4- اجنّ also signifies وَقَعَ فِى مَجَنَّةٍ [app. meaning He fell into, or upon, a place containing, or abounding with, جِنّ]. (TA.)
