Full Definition
def.2 Also The part above the temple, on the right of the forehead, and on the left thereof; the two being called جَبِينَانِ: the side of the forehead, [so Bd in xxxvii. 103,] from the part over against the place where the hair falls off, to the temple, on the right of the forehead, and on the left thereof: so say Az and IF and others: the forehead (الجَبْتَة) is between the جَبِينَانِ: or the جَبِينَانِ are the two borders of the forehead, on either side thereof, in the part between the two eyebrows (فِيمَا بَيْنَ الحَاجِبَيْنِ [so in the copies of the K, a mistake for فيما يَلِى الحاجبين in the part next to the two eyebrows]), rising to the place where the growth of the hair terminates: or between the place where the growth of the hair terminates and the eyebrows: or the جبين is the borders of the forehead, between the two temples, uniting with the نَاصِيَة [or place where the hair grows in the fore part of the head, or the hair of that part]: and it sometimes occurs as meaning the forehead: [see an ex. voce تَرِبَ, where it is used in this last sense, and is fem., perhaps because syn. with جَبْهَة, for] Lh says that it is always masc.: pl. [of mult.] جُبُنٌ and [of pauc.] أَجْبِنَةٌ and أَجْبُنٌ.
