تجرّع He swallowed in consecutive portions, one time after another, like him who acts against his own will: or, as IAth says, he drank in haste: or, accord. to some, he drank by little and little. (TA.)

[And hence,] تجرّع (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ *) ‡ He repressed, or restrained, choking wrath, or rage; (Ṣ;) as though he swallowed it: (Mṣb:) and [in like manner] you say also, جَرِعَ↓ الغَيْظَ ‡ he repressed, or restrained, wrath, or rage. (TA.)

جَرَعٌ A twisting in one of the strands of a rope, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or of a bow-string, (Ḳ,) so that it appears above the other strands. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) [It is app. an inf. n., of which the verb, if it have one, is جَرِعَ.]

See also جَرَعَةٌ.

جَرِعٌ A rope, (Ḳ,) or a bow-string, (TA,) having the twisting termed جَرَعٌ in one of its strands; as alsoمُجَرَّعٌ↓: (Ḳ:) or, accord. to IAạr, a bow-string that is even, except that there is a prominence in one part of it, wherefore it is rubbed and pulled with a piece of a كِسَآء [q. v.] until that prominence disappears: and↓ the latter, accord. to ISh, a bow-string not uniformly nor well twisted, having in it prominences, so that one of its strands appears above the others, or some appear above others. (TA.)

جُرْعَةٌ A gulp, or as much as is swallowed at once, of water; a جُرْعَة of water being like a لُقْمَة of food: (Mṣb:) or a sup, or sip; or as much as is supped, or sipped, at once; or a mouthful of what is supped, or sipped; (syn. حُسْوَةٌ;) of water; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoجَرْعَةٌ↓ andجِرْعَةٌ↓: or جُرْعَةٌ andجَرْعَةٌ↓ are substs. [signifying the act of swallowing water] from جَرِعَ المَآءَ “he swallowed the water:” (Ḳ:) orجَرْعَةٌ↓ signifies a single act of swallowing water: (IAth, L:) and جُرْعَةٌ, what one swallows: (L, Ḳ:) or a mouthful which one swallows: (TA:) or a small draught: (IAth:) and its pl. is جُرَعٌ. (Mṣb, TA.) The dim. isجُرَيْعَةٌ↓. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) And hence the prov., أَفْلَتَ فُلَانٌ جُرَيْعَةَ الذَّقَنِ, (Ṣgh, Ḳ,) the verb being intrans., and جريعة being in the accus. case as a denotative of state, as though the speaker said, أَفْلَتَ قَاذِفًا جُرَيْعَةَ الذَّقَنِ; (Ṣgh;) or بِجُرَيْعَةِ الذَّقَنِ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) orبِجُرَيْعَآئِهَا↓; (Ḳ;) Such a one escaped [from destruction] when his spirit, or the remains thereof, had become in his mouth; (L, Ḳ;) or near thereto, (Ḳ,) as a sup [or little sup] of water to the chin [of a person drinking]; (TA;) or when death was as near to him as a little sup of water to the chin; (L;) or when at his last gasp: (Fr, Ṣ:) applied to one who has been at the point of destruction, and then escaped: (Ṣ:) or, accord. to AZ, it is thus; أَفْلَتَنِى جُرَيْعَةَ الذَّقَنِ, which may mean he made me to escape, &c., or he escaped from me, &c.; in the latter case, افلتنى being for أَفْلَتَ مِنِّى; and [it is said that] جريعة is prefixed to الذقن because the motion of the chin indicates the nearness of the departure of the soul: or the meaning of the words related by AZ may be, he made me, i. e. the remains of my soul, to escape; the last two words being a substitute for the pronoun affixed to the verb. (Ṣgh.) One says also, أَفْلَتَنَىِ جُرَيْعَةَ الرِّيقِ, meaning He outwent me, [or escaped me,] and I swallowed my spittle in wrath, or rage, against him. (TA.) And مَا مِنْ جُرْعَةٍ أَحْمَدُ عُقْبَانًا مِنْ جُرْعَةِ غَيْظٍ نَكْظِمُهَا ‡ [There is nothing that is swallowed more praiseworthy in its result than what is swallowed of wrath, or rage, which we repress, or restrain].

[of pauc.] is أَجْرَاعٌ and [of mult.] جِرَاعٌ: the pl. of جَرَعَةٌ is جِرْعَانٌ: and the pl. ofجَرْعَةٌ↓ is جِرَاعٌ: and the pl. ofجِرِعاء↓ is جَرْعَاوَاتٌ: and the pl. ofاجرع↓ is أَجَارِعُ. (TA.)
