It is also a word used as a corroborative: you say, جَاؤُوا أَجْمَعُونَ أَكْتَعُونَ أَبْتَعُونَ [They came, all of them, or all together]: (Ṣ:) and جَآءَ القَوْمُ أَكْتَعُونَ أَبْتَعُونَ أَبْصَعُونَ [the people, or company of men, came, all of them, or all together]: (AHeyth:) and جَاؤُوا كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ أَكْتَعُونَ أَبْتَعُونَ [they came, all of them, all together]: these words which follow اجمعون being imitative sequents to it, not occurring save after it [in the order above]: (O, Ḳ:) or one may begin with whichsoever of them he will, after it. (Ibn-Keysán, Ḳ.) And [the fem. is بَتْعَآءُ:] you say القَبِيلَةُ كُلُّهَا جَمْعَآءُ كَتْعَآءُ بَصْعَآءُ بَتْعَآءُ [The tribe, all of it, all together: in the CK, erroneously, كُثْعآءُ (with damm and ث) and بُصْعاءُ and بُتْعاءُ]. (Ḳ.) And [the pl. of بَتْعَآءُ is بُتَعُ↓, originally بَتْعَاوَاتٌ:] you say النِّسَآءُ كُلُّهُنَّ جُمَعُ كُتَعُ بُصَعُ بُتَعُ [The women, all of them, all together: in the CK, erroneously, جُمَعٌ كُتَعٌ بُصَعٌ بُتَعٌ, though it is well known that each of these is determinate, and imperfectly declinable]. (Ḳ.) It is only necessary that he who mentions all these words should mention first كُلّ, and follow it with the word formed from ج م ع, then add the rest in whatsoever order he will; but the more approved way is to put the word formed from ك ت ع before the rest. (TA.) Fr mentions the phrases أَعْجَبنِى القَصْرُ أَجْمَعَ [The palace pleased me, all of it, or altogether], and الدَّارُ جَمْعَآءَ [the house, all of it, or altogether], with the accus. case, as denotative of state; but does not allow أَجْمَعُونَ nor جُمَعُ to be used otherwise than as corroboratives: IDrst, however, allows أَجْمَعِينَ to be used as a denotative of state; and this is correct; and accord. to both these ways is related the trad., فَصَلُّوا جُلُوسًا أَجْمَعِينَ and أَجْمَعُونَ [And pray ye sitting, all of you, or all together]; though some make اجمعين [here] to be a corroborative of a pronoun understood in the accus. case, as though the speaker said, أَعْنِيكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ [I mean you, all of you, or all together]. (Ḳ.) [But see أَجْمعُ.]
