جنح

جَنَاحٌ جناح The يَد (S, K) [meaning wing ] of a bird or flying thing; (S;) i. e., of a bird or flying thing, the limb that corresponds to the يد of a man: (Msb:) and also the يد [i. e. arm, sometimes also meaning hand, (see a signification of جَنَحَ,)] of a man: (L, TA:) and (K) the upper arm, or arm from the shoulder to the elbow: (Zj, L, K:) each of these is so called because it is on one side of the body: (L:) and the armpit: (K:) pl. أَجْنِحَةٌ (S, Msb, K) and أَجْنُحٌ: (IJ, K:) the sing., though masc., has the latter pl., which properly belongs to a fem. sing. [of this form], because جناح is assimilated to رِيشَةٌ; (IJ;) [or rather, I think, to يَدٌ, which is fem.;] but some assert جناح to be both masc. and fem. (MF.) [Hence,] هُوَ مَقْصُوصُ الجَنَاحِ [ He has the wing clipped; meaning] (tropical:) he is one who lacks strength or power or ability; he is impotent. (A, TA.) And خَفَضَ لَهُ جَنَاحَهُ (tropical:) [ He abased himself to him: lit. he lowered to him his wing: but see an explanation of a similar phrase in the Kur, below]. (A.) And رَكِبُوا جَنَاحَىِ الطَّائِرِ, (Fr, L, K,) in [some of the copies of] the K, الطَّرِيقِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) They quitted their homes, or accustomed places. (Fr, L, K.) And فُلَانٌ فِى جَنَاحَىْ طَائِرٍ Such a one is in a state of disquiet, and confounded, or perplexed, unable to see his right course. (L, A. *) And رَكِبَ فُلَانٌ جَنَاحَىِ النَّعَامَةِ (tropical:) Such a one employed himself vigorously, labouriously, sedulously, or diligently, in an affair; (A, K;) managing well. (K.) And نَحْنُ عَلَى جَنَاحِ السَّفَرِ [lit. We are on the wing of travel; meaning] (tropical:) we are about to travel, or journey. (K, TA.) And جَنَاحُ الفَرَسِ (assumed tropical:) A certain star [ γ ] of Pegasus; one of the four bright stars, in Pegasus, which form a square; the other three being that at the extremity of the neck, called عَيْنُ الفَرَسِ, [i. e. a of Pegasus,] that called مَنْكِبُ الفَرَسِ, [ β of Pegasus,] and the star [ a of Andromeda] that belongs to both Pegasus and Andromeda. (Kzw.) [And جَنَاحُ سَمَكَةٍ (assumed tropical:) The fin of a fish. ] And جَنَاحَا نَصْلٍ (assumed tropical:) The two wings, or blades, of a spear-head or of an arrow-head. (L.) And جَنَاحُ الرَّحَى (assumed tropical:) The wing (نَاعُور) of the mill or mill-stone. (L.) And جَنَاحَا عَسْكَرٍ (tropical:) The two wings of an army. (A, TA) And جَنَاحَا الوَادِى (tropical:) The two sides of the valley (A, L) down which the water runs, on the right and left. (L.)

(A, TA.) ― -b2- See also جِنْحٌ, in two places. ― -b3- Also The side, syn. جَانِبٌ. (K.) So in the saying in the Kur [xvii. 25], وَا@خْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ, meaning وَأَلِنْ لَهُمَا جَانِبَكَ الذَّلِيلَ (tropical:) [ And make soft to them [thy two parents) thy submissive side; i. e. treat them with gentleness and submissiveness: or the former words may be literally rendered lower to them the wing of submissiveness; meaning be submissive to them ]. (Jel, TA.) ― -b4- And A part, or portion, of a thing; as also ↓ جُنَاحٌ. (K.)
