«وهو تشابه اللفظين في اللفظ»
Jinās is resemblance between two expressions in their wording or pronunciation.

The words need not share a meaning. Its characteristic effect often arises when the ear recognizes verbal likeness while the mind perceives distinct meanings; the interplay gives the utterance its finesse.

The term resemblance covers exact agreement as well as partial likeness. The subsequent division into complete and incomplete jinās depends on how far the agreement extends. Mere synonymy is not jinās, nor is semantic similarity without an audible or formal relationship.
