Full Definition

تجاوبواVI i. q. بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا [They returned one another answer for answer, or answers for answers; they answered one another; replied, one to another; held a dialogue, colloquy, conference, disputation, or debate, together; bandied words, one with another]: مُجَاوَبَةٌ and تَجَاوُبٌ both signify i. q. تَحَاوُرٌ. In like manner one says of turtle-doves, of pigeons, of braying camels, and of neighing horses.
2 [Hence,] يَتَجَاوَبُ أَوَّلُ كَلَامِهِ وَآخِرُهُ The first and the last parts of his speech correspond, or are consistent.
