جَلَآءٌ جلآء A thing, an affair, or a case, that is apparent, manifest, plain, or evident. (S, K, TA.) ― -b2- And Acknowledgment, or confession: so in the saying of Zuheyr: “ فَإِِنَّ الحَقَّ مَقْطَعُهُ ثَلَاثٌ
يَمِينٌ أَوْ نِفَارٌ أَوْ جَلَآءٌ
” [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 ↓ جِلَآء , with kesr to the ج, as meaning an evidence, or a proof, and witnesses; from مُجَالَاةٌ [inf. n. of 3, q. v.]. (TA.) ― -b3- أَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ جَلَآءَيَوْمِى, (K, TA,) or جَلَآءَ 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.) -A2- See also the next paragraph.
