R. Q.1 نَجْنَجَ الأَمْرَ ذ , (inf. n. نَجْنَجَةٌ, S,) He agitated the thing, or affair, to and fro, in his mind, (S,) and did not execute it; (TA;) he thought upon the thing, or affair, but did not determine upon it. (S, K.) See R. Q. 2. ― -b2- نَجْنَجَ الاـِبِلَ He drove back the camels from the water: (L:) or he drove them back time after time to the tank, or cistern; expl. by رَدَّدَهَا على الحَوْضِ: (S, K:) [but عَلَى, meaning here to, seems to be a mistake for عَن, from ]. Dhu-r-Rummeh says, حَتَّى اـِذَا لَمْ يَجِدْ وَعْلًا وَنَجْنَجَهَا مَخَافَةَ الرَّمْىِ حَتَّى كُلُّهَا هِيمُ [ Until, when he finds not a place of refuge, and drives them back from the water, (accord. to the explanation in the L,) fearing to be shot at, so that all of them are thirsting ]. (S.) ― -b3- نَجْنَجَ He moved about [a thing; in the S, on the authority of A'Obeyd, a man], (S, K,) and turned over and over. (TA.) ― -b4- One says, نَجْنِجْ أَمْرَكَ فَلَعَلَّكَ تَجِدُ اـِلَى الخُرُوج سَبِيلًا [ Turn the thing over and over in thy mind, and perhaps thou wilt find a way of egress, or escape ]. (TA.) ― -b5- نَجْنَجَ, (inf. n. نَجْنَجَةٌ, S,) He went round about in fright, or fear. (S, K.) ― -b6- نَجْنَجَ اللُّقْمَهَ He moved the morsel to and fro in his mouth, and did not swallow it; like لَجْلَجَ. (Aboo-Turáb.)
