جَرْجَرَ

R. Q. 1 Verbal.Noun جَرْجَرَةٌ, He reiterated his voice, or cry, or his braying, in his windpipe.
2 He, or it, made, or uttered, a noise, sound, cry, or cries; he cried out; vociferated; raised a cry, or clamour. It sounded, or made a sound or sounds, in the fauces. And جَرْجَرَتِ النَّارُ The fire sounded, or made a sound or sounds.

def.2 Also, Verbal.Noun as above, He poured water down his throat; as also : or he swallowed it in consecutive gulps, so that it sounded, or made a sound or sounds; as also ↓ the latter verb. It is said in a trad., يُجَرْجِرُ فِى بَطْنِهِ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ He shall drink down into his belly the fire of Hell in consecutive gulps, so that it shall make a sound or sounds: or he shall make the fire of Hell to gurgle reiteratedly in his belly; from جَرْجَرَ said of a stallion-camel. Most read النارَ, as above; but accord. to one reading, it is النارُ, and the meaning is, The fire of Hell shall produce sounds in his belly like those which a camel makes in his windpipe: the verb is here tropically used; and is masc., with ى, because of the separation between it and النار: but this reading and explanation are not right.
2 You say also, جَرْجَرَهُ المَآءَ He poured water down his throat so that it made a sound or sounds.
