جنّسهُII , Verbal.Noun تَجْنِيسٌ, from الجِنْسُ, [He made it homogeneous, or congenial, with it; or similar, or conformable, to it: expl. in the TK, not well, by شاكله; but the Verbal.Noun, with tolerable correctness, by ايكى شيئى برى برينه مشاكل قلمق. The usage of the term تَجْنِيسٌ in rhetoric, to signify the use of two or more words completely or partly conformable, is post-classical, like جِنَاسٌ, an Verbal.Noun of جَانَسَ.]
