Ajā': Ajā' on fa'ala with vowelization: a mountain of Tayy which is referred to as masculine and feminine.
وهنالك ثلاثة أجبل: أجأ وسلمى والعوجاء.
And there are three mountains: Ajā', Salma, and al-Awjā'.
وذلك أن أجأ اسم رجل تعشق سلمى وجمعتهما العوجاء، فهرب أجأ بسلمى وذهبت معهما العوجاء، فتبعهم بعل سلمى، فأدركهم وقتلهم، وصلب أجأ على أحد الأجبل، فسمي أجأ، وصلب سلمى على الجبل الآخر، فسمي بها، وصلب العوجاء على الثالث، فسمي باسمها.
And that is because Ajā' is the name of a man who was in love with Salma, and al-Awjā' brought them together. So Ajā' fled with Salma, and al-Awjā' went with them. Then Salma's husband followed them and overtook them and killed them. Ajā' was crucified on one of the mountains, so it was named Ajā'. Salma was crucified on the other mountain, so it was named after her. And al-Awjā' was crucified on the third, so it was named after her.
إذا أجأ تلفعت بشعافها ... علي، وأمست، بالعماء، مكلله
When Ajā' wrapped itself in its peaks... upon me, and it spent the night, crowned in the open sky.
وأصبحت العوجاء يهتز جيدها، ... كجيد عروس أصبحت متبذله
And al-Awjā' became, its neck swaying... like the neck of a bride who has become promiscuous.
قد حيرته جن سلمى وأجا أراد وأجأ فخفف تخفيفا قياسيا، وعامل اللفظ كما أجاز الخليل رأسا مع ناس، على غير التخفيف البدلي، ولكن على معاملة اللفظ، واللفظ كثيرا ما يراعى في صناعة العربية.
The jinn of Salma and Ajā' have confused him. He intended Ajā' and shortened it with a standard shortening, treating the word as al-Khalil permitted for 'ra's' with 'nas', not as a substitution shortening, but by treating the word, and the word is often considered in the art of Arabic.
مثل خناذيذ أجا وصخره
Like the peaks of Ajā' and its rock.
والخناذيذ رءوس الجبال: أي إبل مثل قطع هذا الجبل.
And al-Khanadhidh are the heads of the mountains: meaning camels like the parts of this mountain.
أجأ وسلمى جبلان لطيء ينسب إليهما الأجئيون مثل الأجعيون.
Ajā' and Salma are two mountains of Tayy, to which the Ajā'i'yun are attributed, like the Aj'i'yun.
