Root: جو

Full Definition

جَوَّانِىٌّ : see جَوٌّ. Hence the saying of Selmán, مَنْ أَصْلَحَ جَوَّانِيَّهُ أَصْلَحَ ٱللّٰهُ بَرَّانِيَّهُ [explained in art. بر]. [It generally signifies Inner, inward, or interior; and secret, or private; opposed to بَرَّانِىٌّ; and is now vulgarly pronounced جُوَّانِىْ.] It is a rel. n. [irregularly formed] from جَوٌّ signifying “ any low, or depressed, part of the ground. ” (T in art. بر.)
