Full Definition
جَحْجَاحٌ
and
جَحْجَحٌ A chief, lord, master, or man of rank or quality or distinction: or one who is liberal, bountiful, or munificent; or one who is noble, or generous: and one who hastens [to render aid] in cases of evil: pl. جَحَاجِحُ and جَحَاجِحَةٌ and جَحَاجِيحُ: it is said in the S that these two are pls. of the first pl.; the ة in the former of them being substituted for the ى in the latter of them, which is rejected; for one of these two letters must be retained, but both cannot be together: this assertion in the S, however, is well refuted by MF.
