Full Definition
جِنَازَةٌ
and جَنَازَةٌ signify the same, namely, A dead person; a corpse: but the former is the more chaste: or the former signifies the dead person; and the latter, the bier: or the former, the bier; and the latter, the dead person: so accord. to Th, as related by Aboo-'Amr Ez-Záhid: or the former is said by the vulgar to mean the bier: or the former signifies the bier with the dead person: or the dead person upon the bier: and the bier is not so called unless the dead person is upon it: when the dead person is not upon it, it is called سَرِيرٌ and نَعْشٌ: but the vulgar say جَنَازَةٌ, with fet-h; which is not allowable: or جَنَازَةٌ [so in the TA] signifies the man: or the bier with the man: جنازة is derived from جَنَزَهُ, in the first of the senses assigned to it above: so some assert: but ISd says, I know not whether this be correct: or a جَنَازَة is so called because the clothes are gathered together when the man is upon the bier: some say that it is Nabathean: the pl. is جَنَائِزُ. The Arabs say, تَرَكْتُهُ جِنَازَةً
I left him a corpse, or dead. And ضُرِبَ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى تُرِكَ جَنَازَةً [so in the TA, The man was beaten until he was left a corpse]. And رُمِىَ فِى جِنَازَتِهِ, meaning, He died: or he has been carried, or lifted, and put [into his bier]: this they say when they give information of the death of a man: and they say also, طُعِنَ فِى
جِنَازَتِهِ, meaning the same.
