بَا عَدَهُ; (A, K;) i. e. He was, or became, [distant, remote, far off, or aloof, from him; or] apart from him; or in a part, quarter, or tract, different from that in which he (the other) was; (TA;) thus bearing two contr. significations. (A, K.) جانبهُ and

اجتنبهُ all signify the same, (S, K,) i. e. He was, or became, distant, remote, far off, or aloof, or he went, or removed, or retired, or withdrew himself, to a distance, or far away, or far off, or he alienated, or estranged, himself, or he stood, or kept, aloof, from him, or it; he shunned, or avoided, him, or it; as also
جِنّبه (K) [and مِنْهُ
تجنّب]. You say, جَانِبِ اللِّيءَامَ [Remove thyself far from the mean, or ignoble; stand, or keep, aloof from them; shun, or avoid, them]. (A.) And لَجَّ فِى جِنَابٍ قَبِيحٍ
He persisted in removing himself to a distance, or estranging himself, from his family. (S, A, K. [In two copies of the S, I find جناب here written with fet-h to the ج; but it is expressly said in the TA to be with kesr.])
