; plural جَوَانِبُ: see جَنْبٌ, in eleven places. [Hence, لَانَ جَانِبُهُ (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, gentle, easy to deal with, compliant, or obsequious. And رَجُلٌ لَيِّنُ الجَانِبِ (assumed tropical:) A man who is gentle, easy to deal with, compliant, or obsequious; opposite of غَلِيظُ الجَانِبِ; see article غلظ: and see جَنَابٌ. And] تُزَنُّ بِلِينِ الجَانِبِ (assumed tropical:) [She is suspected of easiness, or compliance], (K in article لمس,) towards him who desires of her that he may lie with her. (TA in that article) [Hence also,] جَانِبَا الأَنْفِ (CK) and ↓ جَنَابَتَا and ↓ جَنْبَتَا and ↓ جَنَبَتَا (K) The two sides of the nose: (K:) or the two lines that surround the two sides of the nose of a doe-gazelle: (Sb, TA:) plural [of the second, agreeably with analogy,] جَنَايءِبُ. (TA.)

See also جَنَابٌ. [It often signifies The vicinage or neighbourhood of a people &c.: and a region or quarter or tract of a people or country: like ناحية.

The bank of a river; and any bank, or steep acclivity.

And A limit, bound, or boundary: see a tropical usage of its plural (جَوَانِبُ) voce. حِنْوٌ.

And عَلَى جَانِبٍ means Beside, aside, or apart; and so جَانِبًا, and فِى جَانِبٍ.

جَانِبٌ مِنْ مَالٍ, in posi-classical writings, means A portion, and particularly a large portion, of property: and جَانِبٌ alone, in the same, a sum, and particularly a large sum, of money.

The latter, also, in post-classical writings, signifies, like جَنْبٌ, q. v., (assumed tropical:) A man's honour, or reputation, which should be preserved inviolate; so used in the K voce عِرْضٌ, in an explanation of the latter word taken from IAth; i. q. نَامُوسٌ and حُرْمَةٌ, as in the TK in that case.]

-A2- Avoided and despised. (K, TA.)

[Hence, perhaps, دَعْ كَذَا جَانِبًا Let thou, or leave thou, such a thing alone: see an example voce أَوٌّ.]

See also جُنُبٌ, in four places.

And see مُجَنَّبٌ.
