A coward is likened to a جبجبة in which خلع is put; because of his turgidness and his little profitableness.

3 And A basket, of small size, made of skins, in which dust, or earth, is removed: or, accord. to Kt, it is [ جَبْجَبَةٌ ,] with fet-h: pl. جَبَاجِبُ.
4 And A drum: pl. جَبَاجِبُ [which is explained in the K as meaning “ a drum ” instead of “ drums ”]: as in the saying, ضُرِبَتْ عَلَى بَابِهِ الجَبَاجِبُ [The drums were beaten at his door].
