[See also زُبْدٌ.]) And صَرَّحَتْ بِجِلْذَانَ, another prov., (Meyd, L,) meaning It (the affair, or case,) became apparent, or manifest, to thee, in Jildhán; which last word is variously written, [see Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 730, and Ḥar p. 106,] a place in Et-Táïf, soft and even, like the palm of the hand, containing no covert in which one may conceal himself; the ت in صرّحت denoting the قِصَّة or خُطَّة: (Meyd:) i. e. the man made apparent, or revealed, the utmost of what he desired, or meant.
