تَجَاوَرُوا andاِجْتَوَرُوا↓ (Ṣ, Ḳ) are syn., (Ṣ,) signifying They became mutual neighbours; they lived near together: (Ḳ,* TA:) the [radical] و in the latter verb remaining unaltered because this verb is syn. with one in which the و must preserve its original form on account of the quiescence of the preceding letter, namely, تجاوروا, (Ṣ, TA,) and to show that it is syn. therewith: but اِجْتَارُوا also occurs. (TA.)
