جَحْجَاحٌ جحجاح (S, A, K) and ↓ جَحْجَحٌ (K) A chief, lord, master, or man of rank or quality or distinction: (S, A, K:) or one who is liberal, bountiful, or munificent; or one who is noble, or generous: (TA:) and one who hastens [to render aid] in cases of evil: (A:) pl. (of the former, S, A, TA, [or of the latter accord. to analogy,]) جَحَاجِحُ (S, A, K) and (of the same, A, TA) جَحَاجِحَةٌ (A, K) and جَحَاجِيحُ: (K:) it is said in the S that these two are pls. of the first pl.; the ة in the former of them being substituted for the ى in the latter of them, which is rejected; for one of these two letters must be retained, but both cannot be together: this assertion in the S, however, is well refuted by MF. (TA.)
