جُولٌ

The wall [that surrounds the interior] of a well: according to A 'Obeyd, every side of a well, from its top to its bottom: and جَالٌ signifies the same: (S:) or the former, the side, or lateral part, (M, Msb, K,) of a well, and of a grave, and of the sea, and of a mountain; as also جَالٌ (M, K) and جِيلٌ: (K, TA; in the CK جَيْل:) or the surrounding parts [or sides] of a grave: (M, TA:) and الوَادِى جَالَا the two sides of the water of the valley: and البَحْرِ جَالَا the two shores of the sea, or great river: (T, TA:) plural [of pauc.] أَجْوَالٌ, (Az, S, Msb, K,) plural of جُولٌ and جَالٌ, (TA,) and [of mult.] جِوَالٌ and جِوَالَةٌ; (so in copies of the K, and in the M, but in some copies of the K جُوَالٌ and جُوَالَةٌ;) and أَجَاوِلُ is plural of أَجْوَالٌ. (TA.) Also, as in the T and the Moheet, (TA,) The portion of rock that is at the bottom of the water, (K, TA.) upon which is the casing of the well; so that if it quit its place, the well falls to ruin: this is [said to be] the primary meaning of the word: and hence the saying, هٰذَا مَاءٌ لَا يُدْرَكُ جُولُهُ [This is water of which the rock beneath it is not to be reached]. (TA.)

[And from this word as signifying the casing of a well, or the portion of rock above mentioned,] (tropical:) Intelligence; (S, K, TA;) judgment, and intelligence, or full intelligence, or intelligence to which one has recourse; (T, TA;) understanding of the heart; (TA;) and resolution, or fixed purpose of mind; (S, M;) and prudence: (T, TA:) العَزْمُ in the K is erroneously put for الحَزْمُ. (TA.) You say, of a man, مَالَهُ جُولٌ (tropical:) He has not intelligence and judgment, or fixed purpose of mind, to withhold him, or protect him; like the جول of a well; (S, M, * TA; *) because a well, when cased with stone or the like, is stronger. (TA.) And رَجُلٌ لَهُ زَبْرٌ وَجُولٌ (tropical:) A man having judgment and intelligence, or full intelligence, or intelligence to which recourse is had; whose جول does not become demolished: and in like manner, هُوَ مَزْبُورٌ مَافَوقَ الجُولِ مِنْهُ وَصُلْبٌ مَاتَحْتَ الزَّبْرِ مِنَ الجُولِ: and in the contr. case, لَيْسَ لِفُلَانٍ جُولٌ (tropical:) Such a one has not intelligence nor prudence; i. e., his جول is demolished, therefore one is not sure that the زبر [that rests upon it] may not also fall: and لَيْسَ لَهُ جُولٌ, and جَالٌ, (tropical:) He has not prudence. (T, TA.)

فَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ جُولِهِ I did it on account, or for the sake, or because, of him, or it. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.)
