جَدَعَ الأَنْفَ

, (S, * Msb, K, *) aorist جَدَعَ , (Msb,) verbal noun جَدْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He cut off the nose; and in like manner, the ear; and the hand, or arm; and the lip; (S, Msb, K;) and a similar part: (TA:) and أَنْفَهُ ↓ أَجْدَعْتُ signifies the same as جَدَعْتُ [I cut off his nose]: or جَدْعٌ signifies [absolutely] the cutting off; or cutting so as to separate. (TA.) In the following saying of a poet, the verb is used metaphorically,

وَأَصْبَحَ الدَّهْرُ ذُو العِرْنِينِ قَدْ جُدِعَا

[lit. And nosed fortune became mutilated in the nose; meaning, (assumed tropical:) became marred]. (TA.) And in the following phrase, occurring in a verse, كَأَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَجْدَعُ أَنْفَهُ وَعَيْنَيْهِ, the poet means, [As though God cut off his nose] and put out his eyes: see a similar saying in article قلد, voce تَقَلَّدَ. (TA.)

جَدَعَهُ, (S, K,) aorist and verbal noun as above, (TA,) He mutilated him, or maimed him, by cutting off his nose, or his ear, or his hand or arm, or his lip, (S, K, TA,) or the like; (TA;) as also ↓ جدّعهُ (S, TA.) [Hence the phrase,] لَهُ ↓ جَدْعًا (S, K) [(May God decree) to him mutilation, or maining, by the cutting off of his nose, or the like; or cause it to befall him: or] meaning أَلْزَمَهُ اللّٰهُ الجَدْعَ [(assumed tropical:) may God make injury, or diminution of what is good, to cleave to him]: (K:) said in imprecating a curse upon a man: similar to عَقْرًا لَهُ, q. v.: the first word being governed in the accusative case by a verb understood. (TA.) One says also, اِجْدَعْهُمْ بِالأَمْرِ حَتَّى يَذِلُّوا, a phrase mentioned by IAar, but not explained by him; thought by ISd to mean, (tropical:) Act thou, in commanding, as though thou mutilatedst them by cutting off their noses [until they become submissive]. (TA.) In the phrase ↓ صَوْتُ الحِمَارِ اليُجَدَّعُ [The voice of the ass that has his ear, or ears, cut off, (see مُجَدَّعٌ, below,)], occurring in a verse of Dhu-l-Khirak Et-Tuhawee, (S,) according to J, but not found by Sgh in the verses of that poet, and said to be in the Book [of Sb], though IB denies this, asserting it to be in the Nawádir of AZ, (TA,) Akh says, the poet means الَّذِى يُجَدَّعُ, like as you say, هُوَالْيَضْرِبُكَ, meaning الَّذِى يَضْرِبُكَ: Aboo-Bekr Ibn-es-Sarráj says, the poet, requiring refa for the rhyme, has changed the noun into a verb; and this is one of the worst of poetic licences. (S.)

[Hence,] السَّنَةُ تَجْدَعُ النَّبَاتَ (tropical:) [The year of drought cuts off, or destroys, the herbage]: (A, TA:) and تَجْدَعُ بِالمَالِ destroys the camels or the like. (S, O, K.) And القَحْطُ النَبَّاتِ ↓ جَدَّعَ (tropical:) The drought prevented the growth, or increase, of the herbage. (K, TA.)

[Hence also,] جَدَعَ عِيَالَهُ, verbal noun جَدَّعٌ, (assumed tropical:) He withheld good things from his family, or household. (TA.) And جَدَعَتْهُ أُمُّهُ, aorist جَدَعَ , verbal noun as above, (tropical:) His mother fed him with bad food; (Zj, K;) as also ↓ أَجْدَعَتْهُ, (S, K,) verbal noun إِجْدَاعٌ; (TA;) and ↓ جَدَّعَتْهُ, (K,) verbal noun تَجْدِيعٌ: (TA:) and ↓ جدّعهُ and ↓ اجدعهُ (tropical:) He (a pastor) confined him [a beast] to bad pasture. (TA.) جَدَعْتُهُ, (S,) verbal noun as above, (K,) also signifies (assumed tropical:) I confined him, restricted him, or the like; synonym حَبَسْتُهُ: and (assumed tropical:) I imprisoned him: (S, K: *) and so with ذ: (S:) or جَدْعٌ and جَذْعٌ both signify (assumed tropical:) the confining, or restricting, a person with evil management, and with contemptuous treatment, and want of good care. (A Heyth.)
