رَجَاجٌ

Root: رج

Full Definition

رَجَاجٌ Lean, or emaciated, sheep or goats, and camels: and نَعْجَةٌ رَجَاجَةٌ a lean, or an emaciated, ewe; or a weak ewe, that has no marrow in her bones. And Weak men, and camels; and so رَجْرَاجٌ applied to the latter, and to men as meaning weak, without understanding, intellect, or intelligence. Hence, it is said of men who have become weak by reason of travel, and whose camels upon which they are riding have also become weak, فَهُمْ رَجَاجٌ وَعَلَى رَجَاجِ [And they are weak men, and upon weak beasts].
