جَلَاءٌ

A thing, an affair, or a case, that is apparent, manifest, plain, or evident. (S, K, TA.)

And Acknowledgment, or confession: so in the saying of Zuheyr:

فَإِنَّ الحَقَّ مَقْطَعُهُ ثَلَاثٌ

يَمِينٌ أَوْ نِفَارٌ أَوْ جَلَاءٌ

[For verily the means of deciding the truth are three: an oath, and incongruity of circumstances, and acknowledgment, or confession]: (S:) but Az writes the last word ↓ جِلَاء, with kesr to the ج, as meaning an evidence, or a proof, and witnesses; from مُجَالَاةٌ [verbal noun of 3, q. v.]. (TA.)

أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ جَلَاءَيَوْمِى, (K, TA,) or جَلَاءَ يَوْمٍ, (so in some copies of the K,) [I remained with him, or at his abode,] during the whiteness of my, or a, day. (Zj, K, TA.)
