جنف

جَنَفَ جنف is [an epithet] like دَنَفَ, applying to a sing. and a pl., [being] also an inf. n. [of جَنِفَ, q. v.]: Abu-l-'Iyál El-Hudhalee says, أَلَّا دَرَأْتَ الخَصْمَ حِينَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ جَنَفًا عَلَىَّ بِأَلْسُنٍ وَعُيُونِ [ Wherefore didst not thou repel the adversaries, when thou sawest them inclining, or acting wrongfully, against me with tongues and eyes? ]: or, accord. to one reading, جُنُفًا [which is a pl. of ↓ جَانِفٌ]: (Skr p. 128:) [or, as some say,] جَنَفًا is a pl. [or rather quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ جَانِفٌ, like as رَوَحَ is of رَائِحٌ: or it may be for ذَوِي جَنَفٍ. (TA.)
