Root: رجب
Full Definition
رَاجِبَةٌ
sing. of رَوَاجِبُ; or, accord. to Kr, the sing. of this latter is
رُجْبَةٌ [also mentioned as a sing. in the K]; but the correctness of this is doubted: the رواجب are The finger-joints that are next to the ends of the fingers: next to these are the بَرَاجِم: then, the أَشَاجِع, which are next to the كَفّ: or the joints of the lowest parts (أُصُول) of the fingers: or the inner sides of those joints: or the bones of the fingers: or the finger-joints: or the backs of the
سُلَامَيَات [generally meaning the phalanges of the fingers]: or the parts of the
سُلَامَيَات
between the
بَرَاجِم; which last word [commonly signifies the knuckles, and] is explained by IAar as signifying the wrinkled parts at the joints of the fingers; whereof each finger has three, except the thumb: or the رواجب are the parts, of the inner sides, between the finger-joints: or [the knuckles next the metacarpal bones; i. e.] the parts that protuberate at the roots of the fingers when the hand is clinched. [See also بُرْجُمَةٌ, and أَشْجَعُ.]
