جنس

3 جانسهُ جانس جانسه جانسة , [inf. n. مُجَانَسَةٌ and جِنَاسٌ,] It was, or became, homogeneous, or congenial, with it; or similar, or conformable, to it; syn. شَاكَلَهُ: (Mgh, Msb:) المُجَانَسَةُ is from الجِنْسُ. (S, TA.) You say, هٰذَا يُجَانِسُ هٰذَا This is homogeneous with this; syn. يُشَاكِلُهُ: (Mgh, Msb:) so says Kh. (Msb.) And كَيْفَ يُؤَانِسُكَ مَنْ لَا يُجَانِسُكَ [ How will he be sociable with thee who will not be congenial with thee? ]. (A.) And of a man who has not discrimination nor intelligence, one says, فُلَانٌ يُجَانِسُ البَهَائِمَ وَلَا يُجَانِسُ النَّاسَ [ Such a one resembles the beasts, and does not resemble men ]: (Mgh, Msb, * TA:) so says Kh. (Mgh.) But As says that this usage, (Mgh, Msb,) in the first and last of the above-mentioned phrases, (Msb,) is post-classical. (Mgh, Msb.) The usage of the term جِنَاسٌ by rhetoricians [to signify the complete or partial conformity of two or more words] is post-classical [like تَجْنِيسٌ]. (TA.)
