جُنَافِىٌّ
One who carries himself in a proud and self-conceited manner, (مُخْتَال, [for which Golius, here copied by Freytag, appears to have read مُحْتَال, with the unpointed ح,]) with an inclining [of the body from side to side]: or one who affects an inclining [of the body from side to side] (يَتَجَانَفُ) in his gait, and carries himself in a proud and self-conceited manner therein.
