جَلَلٌ
1.
A great, momentous, or formidable, thing, affair, matter, case, or event; as also
جُلَّى (S, K, TA) and
جُلَّاءُ: (TA:) or
جُلَى [as also جَلَلٌ and
جُلَّاءُ] signifies a hard, difficult, severe, or distressing, and a great, momentous, or formidable, thing, or affair, &c.: (Msb:) plural [of جَلَلٌ,] أَجْلَالٌ; (TA;) and of
جُلَلٌ جُلَّى; (S, K.) El-Hárith Ibn-Waaleh says,
[My people, they have slain, O Umeymeh, (أُمَيْمَ being apocopated, for أُمَيْمَةُ,) my brother; so, if I shoot, my arrow will strike me; and verily, if I forgive, I shall indeed forgive a great thing; but verily, if I assault, I shall indeed weaken my bone: see Ham p. 97]. (S.) And Beshámeh Ibn-Hazn says,قَوْمِى هُمُ قَتَلُوا أُمَيْمَ أَخِىفَإِذَا رَمَيْتُ يُصِيبُنِى سَهْمِىفَلَيءِنْ عَفَوْتُ لَأَعْفُوَنْ جَلَلًاوَلَيءِنْ سَطوْتُ لَأُوْهِنَنْ عَظْمِى
[And if thou invite to a great affair, and a generous act, any day, manly and noble persons, the generous of mankind, invite us]: (TA:) or جُلَّى is here a verbal noun in the place of جَلَالٌ and جَلَالَةٌ, like رُجْعَى, &c. (Ham p. 218.)وَمَكْرُمَةً وَإِنْ دَعَوْتَ إِلَى جُلَّىيَوْمًا سَرَاةً كِرَامَ النَّاسِ فَادْعِينَا

Also, i. e., جَلَلٌ, A small, (K,) an easy, or a mean, paltry, or contemptible, thing, affair, matter, case, or event: (S, K, TA:) thus bearing two contr. significations. (S, K.) Imra-el-Keys says, on the occasion of his father's having been slain,
meaning [By Benoo-Asad's slaying their lord: now surely everything beside it is] a mean, paltry, or small, matter. (S, * TA.)أَلَا كُلُّ شَىْءٍ سِوَاهُ جَلَلْبِ قَتْلِ بَنِى أَسَدٍ رَبَّهُمٌ

جَلَلِكَ
I did that on account of thee, for thy sake, or because of thee; synonym مِنْ أَجْلِكَ; (S, K *) as also
من جُلِّكَ, (K,) and
من جَلَالِكَ, (S, K,) and
من تَجِلَّتِكَ, and
من إِجْلَالِكَ, and من أَجْلِ
إِجْلَالِكَ. (K.) Jemeel says,
meaning [The remains marking the site of a house, I paused at the relic thereof that was still standing: I almost died, in the early morning,] on account of it (مِنْ أَجْلِهِ), or, as some say, because of its greatness in my eye. (S.)رَسْمُ دَارٍ وَقَفْتُ فِى طَلَلِهْكِدْتُ أَقْضِى الغِداةَ مِنْ جَلَلِةْ
