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,
قَوْمِى هُمُ قَتَلُوا أُمَيْمَ أَخِى
فَإِذَا رَمَيْتُ يُصِيبُنِى سَهْمِى
فَلَيءِنْ عَفَوْتُ لَأَعْفُوَنْ جَلَلًا
وَلَيءِنْ سَطوْتُ لَأُوْهِنَنْ عَظْمِى
[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,
يَوْمًا سَرَاةً كِرَامَ النَّاسِ فَادْعِينَا
[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.)
2.
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,
أَلَا كُلُّ شَىْءٍ سِوَاهُ جَلَلْ
بِ قَتْلِ بَنِى أَسَدٍ رَبَّهُمٌ
meaning [By Benoo-Asad's slaying their lord: now surely everything beside it is] a mean, paltry, or small, matter. (S, * TA.)

فَعَلْتُ ذٰلِكَ مِنْ 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,
رَسْمُ دَارٍ وَقَفْتُ فِى طَلَلِهْ
كِدْتُ أَقْضِى الغِداةَ مِنْ جَلَلِةْ
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.)

Accord. to Zj, جَلَلْ is a particle synonym with نَعَمْ. (Mughnee.)
