Full Definition
جُولٌ
The wall [that surrounds the interior] of a well: accord. to A 'Obeyd, every side of a well, from its top to its bottom: and
جَالٌ signifies the same: or the former, the side, or lateral part, of a well, and of a grave, and of the sea, and of a mountain; as also
جَالٌ and
جِيلٌ : (K, TA; in the CK جَيْل:) or the surrounding parts [or sides] of a grave: and الوَادِى
the two sides of the water of the valley: and البَحْرِ
the two shores of the sea, or great river: pl. [of pauc.] أَجْوَالٌ, pl. of جُولٌ and جَالٌ, and [of mult.] جِوَالٌ and جِوَالَةٌ; (so in copies of the K, and in the M, but in some copies of the K جُوَالٌ and جُوَالَةٌ;) and أَجَاوِلُ is pl. of أَجْوَالٌ. Also, as in the T and the Moheet, The portion of rock that is at the bottom of the water, upon which is the casing of the well; so that if it quit its place, the well falls to ruin: this is [said to be] the primary meaning of the word: and hence the saying, هٰذَا مَآءٌ لَا يُدْرَكُ جُولُهُ [This is water of which the rock beneath it is not to be reached].
