جَدَعَ الأَنْفَ, (Ṣ,* Mṣb, Ḳ,*) aor. ـَ {يَجْدَعُ}, (Mṣb,) inf. n. جَدْعٌ, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) He cut off the nose; and in like manner, the ear; and the hand, or arm; and the lip; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and a similar part: (TA:) andأَجْدَعْتُ↓ أَنْفَهُ signifies the same as جَدَعْتُ [I cut off his nose]: or جَدْعٌ signifies [absolutely] the cutting off; or cutting so as to separate. (TA.) In the following saying of a poet, the verb is used metaphorically,

* وَأَصْبَحَ الدَّهْرُ ذُو العِرْنِينِ قَدْ جُدِعَا *

[lit. And nosed fortune became mutilated in the nose; meaning, † became marred]. (TA.) And in the following phrase, occurring in a verse, كَأَنَّ ٱللّٰهَ يَجْدَعُ أَنْفَهُ وَعَيْنَيْهِ, the poet means, [As though God cut off his nose] and put out his eyes: see a similar saying in art. قلد, voce تَقَلَّدَ. (TA.)

جَدَعَهُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) He mutilated him, or maimed him, by cutting off his nose, or his ear, or his hand or arm, or his lip, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) or the like; (TA;) as alsoجدّعهُ↓ (Ṣ, TA.) [Hence the phrase,]جَدْعًا↓ لَهُ (Ṣ, Ḳ) [(May God decree) to him mutilation, or maining, by the cutting off of his nose, or the like; or cause it to befall him: or] meaning أَلْزَمَهُ ٱللّٰهُ الجَدْعَ [† may God make injury, or diminution of what is good, to cleave to him]: (Ḳ:) said in imprecating a curse upon a man: similar to عَقْرًا لَهُ, q. v.: the first word being governed in the accus. case by a verb understood. (TA.) One says also, اِجْدَعْهُمْ بِالأَمْرِ حَتَّى يَذِلُّوا, a phrase mentioned by IAạr, but not explained by him; thought by ISd to mean, ‡ Act thou, in commanding, as though thou mutilatedst them by cutting off their noses [until they become submissive]. (TA.) In the phrase صَوْتُ الحِمَارِ اليُجَدَّعُ↓ [The voice of the ass that has his ear, or ears, cut off, (see مُجَدَّعٌ, below,)], occurring in a verse of Dhu-l-Khirak Et-Tuhawee, (Ṣ,) accord. to J, but not found by Ṣgh in the verses of that poet, and said to be in the Book [of Sb], though IB denies this, asserting it to be in the Nawádir of AZ, (TA,) Akh says, the poet means الَّذِى يُجَدَّعُ, like as you say, هُوَٱلْيَضْرِبُكَ, meaning الَّذِى يَضْرِبُكَ: Aboo-Bekr Ibn-es-Sarráj says, the poet, requiring refa for the rhyme, has changed the noun into a verb; and this is one of the worst of poetic licences. (Ṣ.)
