10 اِسْتَشْأَفَتْ ذ , said of a قُرْصَة, [so in the TA, an evident mistranscription, app. for قَرْحَة, and so in the next paragraph, i. e. an ulcer, or imposthume,] means صَارَ لَهَا أَصْلٌ [ It had, or acquired, root, or rootedness, or permanence; as though it became a شَأْفَة]. (TA.)

شَئِفٌ ذ [part. n. of شَئِفَ, and properly meaning Having an ulcer, or imposthume, such as is termed شَأْفَة,] is applied as an epithet to a heart, in the following verse, cited by IKtt, يَا أَيُّهَا الجَاهِلُ أَلَّا تَنْصَرِفْ وَلَمْ تُدَاوِ قُرْصَةَ القَلْبِ الشَّئِفْ [in which قُرْصَةَ is doubtless a mistranscription (like that in the next preceding paragraph) for قَرْحَةَ; the obvious meaning of the verse being, (assumed tropical:) O thou ignorant one, wherefore wilt not thou revert, when thou hast not cured the sore of an ulcerated heart? ]. (TA.)

شْءاٌفة ذ Original text has hamza and sukun above sheen. An ulcer, or imposthume, (قَرْحَةٌ,) that breaks out in the bottom of the foot, and is cauterized, (S, IAth, O, K,) or is cut, (Yaakoob, IAth, O,) and goes away; (Yaakoob, S, IAth, O, K;) and the word is also pronounced without ء [i. e. شَافَةٌ]: (IAth, TA:) or an ulcer, or imposthume, in the foot of a person, who dies if it is cut: (O, K:) and it is also said to be a tumour in the hand, and foot, from the entering of a piece of wood, or stick, into the flesh of the foot, or the palm of the hand, and its remaining therein, so that the place swells, and becomes large. (TA.) اِسْتَأْصَلَ ا@للّٰهُ شَأْفَتَهُ (S, O, K) is a prov. (S, O) meaning (assumed tropical:) May God cause him to go away like as the شأفة above mentioned goes away: (S, O, K:) or this means may God extirpate him: for ― -b2- شَأْفَةٌ is also syn. with أَصْلٌ [i. e. Root, &c.]: (O, K:) so says Sh. (O.) [See also 10 in art. اصل: and see what here follows.] ― -b3- It is also said to signify The family and household of a man: and hence the form of imprecation, اِسْتَأْصَلَ ا@للّٰهُ شَأْفَتَهُمْ [ May God extirpate their family and household ]. (TA.) ― -b4- And (tropical:) Enmity. (TA.)

شَأَفَةٌ ذ , thus with fet-h to the ء, is an epithet applied to a man, meaning Mighty, potent, powerful, or strong; inaccessible, or difficult of access. (TA.)

رِجْلٌ مَشْؤُوفَةٌ ذ A foot affected with an ulcer, or imposthume, such as is termed سَأْفَةٌ, breaking out in it: (O, K:) from شُئِفَتْ رِجْلُهُ. (O, * K, * TA.) ― -b2- And مَشْؤُوفٌ, from شُئِفَ, Frightened, or afraid; (A'Obeyd, O, K;) applied to a man. (A'Obeyd, O.)

(KL.) -A2- And شَأَمَهُمْ, inf. n. شَأْمٌ, so in the L; in the K, ↓ شَأَّمَهُمْ, inf. n. تَشْئِيمٌ; but the former is the right; (TA;) He made them to go, or journey, to الشَّأْم [i. e. Syria ]. (K, TA.)

2 شَأََّ see what next precedes.

3 شَائِمْ بِأَصْحَابِكَ ذ Take thou the direction of the left hand with thy companions: (S, K, TA:) يَامِنْ signifies “ take thou the direction of the right hand. ” (TA.) ― -b2- And شَاآمَ He (a man) came to الشَّأْم [i. e. Syria ]: like يَامَنَ signifying “ he came to El-Yemen. ” (TA. [See also 4.])

4 اشأم ذ He desired the left: like as أَيْمَنَ signifies “ he desired the right. ” (TA in art. يمن.) ― -b2- And He (a man, S) came to الشَّأْم [i. e. Syria ]: (S, K, TA: [see also 3:]) or he went thither: and أَيْمَنَ signifies “ he came to El-Yemen. ” (TA.) -A2- مَا أَشْأَمَهُ (S, K, TA) How unlucky, or inauspicious, is he! (TA:) the vulgar say, مَا أَيْشَمَهُ. (S, TA.)

5 تشأّم بِهِ ذ , (MA, TA,) from الشُّؤْمُ, (TA,) He found him, or it, unlucky, or inauspicious: and he became unlucky by means of him, or it: (MA:) or تشأّم signifies he had ill luck, or evil fortune. (KL.) See also 6. ― -b2- And تشأّم He took the direction of his left hand: (K, TA:) and in like manner تَيَامَنَ, [whence it seems that تشأّم in the sense expl. above may be a mistake for ↓ تشاآءم,] “ he took the direction of his right hand. ” (TA.) ― -b3- And He asserted his relationship to [ the people of ] الشَّأْم [i. e. Syria ]: (S, K:) a verb similar to تكوّف and تقيّص. (S.)

6 تشاآءموا بِهِ ذ , (S, Msb, K, TA, &c.,) in some of the copies of the K ↓ تشأّموا, (TA,) [and in like manner تشأّم بِهِ, which is often opposed to تَيَمَّنَ بِهِ, (see an instance in Bd xvii. 14,) is used in the K in art. عطس, and تشأّم مِنْهُ in the TA in the same art. as on the authority of IKh, whence it seems that both these verbs are correct in the sense here following, though the former is probably preferable, and بِهِ ↓ استشأم is used in the same manner in “ Les Oiseaux et les Fleurs, ” p. 83, as mentioned by Freytag, so that تشأّم به and استشأم are the contr. of تيمّن به and استيمن,] They augured evil from him, or it; regarded him, or it, as an evil omen; (Msb, KL; *) like تَطَيَّرُوا بِهِ: (Msb:) deemed him, or it, unlucky, or inauspicious. (KL.) ― -b2- تشاآءم, thus, with medd, also signifies He took the direction of الشَّأْم[i. e. Syria ]. (TA.) ― -b3- See also 5.

10 اـِسْتَشْأََ see the next preceding paragraph.

الشَّأْمُ ذ , the name of a certain country [i. e. Syria ], is masc. and fem.; (S;) sometimes masc.: (K:) and may also be pronounced الشَّامُ [as it commonly is in the present day]. (Msb.) ― -b2- [And as this country lies on the north of Arabia, الشَّأْمُ also signifies The northern region; opposed to اليَمَنُ.]

شُؤْمٌ ذ , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) thus, with ء, but always pronounced شُومٌ, without ء, (TA,) is an inf. n.: (MA, KL: [see 1, first sentence, in two places:]) and signifies [as a simple subst.] Unluckiness, inauspiciousness, unfortunateness, unprosperousness, evil fortune, or ill luck; contr. of يُمْنٌ; (S, K;) [i. e.] i. q. َحْسٌ: (Har p. 158:) evil [ of any kind ]; syn. شَرٌّ: (Msb:) [and particularly] an evil omen: (PS:) and ↓ مَشْأَمَةٌ signifies the same as شُؤْمٌ: (TA:) [or, like مَنْحَسَةٌ, a cause of unluckiness, &c.:] مَشَائِمُ is a pl. of شُؤْمٌ, [or of ↓ مَشْأَمَةٌ: if of the former,] irreg., like as its syn. مَنَاحِسُ is [said to be] of نَحْسٌ. (TA in art. نحس.) It is said in a trad., اـِنْ كَانَ الشُّوْمُ فَفِى ثَلَاث ٍ المَرْأَةِ وَالدَّارِ وَالفَرَسِ, meaning If there be that whereof the consequence is disliked, or hated, and feared, [or if there be unluckiness, ] it is in three things, the wife, and the house, and the horse: i. e., if any of you have a wife whose companionship he dislikes, or a house in which he dislikes dwelling, or a horse that he dislikes taking for the purpose of keeping post on the enemies' frontier, let him separate himself therefrom, by divorcing the wife, and removing from the house, and selling the horse: or, as some say, the شؤم of the wife is her not producing children; and that of the house, its straitness, and the badness of its neighbour; and that of the horse, one's not going to war upon it. (JM.) ― -b2- See also مَشْؤُومٌ. -A2- Also Black camels: and حِضَارٌ signifies “ white ” camels, (K, TA,) and is also written and pronounced حَضَارٌ: (TA:) neither of these has a sing.: (K:) both occur in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb: but accord. to one reading thereof it is شِيم; pl. of أَشْيَمُ: so says AA: and IJ says that شُومٌ, [without ء,] being originally شُيْمٌ, of the measure فُعْلٌ, may also be pl. of أَشْيَمُ. (TA.)

شَأْمَةٌ ذ and ↓ مَشْأَمَةٌ The left, meaning the left side or direction or relative location or place; (S, K;) i. q. [يَسْرَةٌ and] مَيْسَرَةٌ; (S;) contr. of يَمْنَةٌ and مَيْمَنَةٌ. (K.) One says of a man, قَعَدَ شأْمَةٌ [ He sat on the left ]. (S.) And one says, خُذْ بِهِمْ شَأْمَةً i. e. [ Take thou with them ] the direction of the left hand. (S.) And نَظَرْتُ يَمْنَةً وَشَأْمَةً [ I looked in a right direction and in a left direction ]. (TA.) And hence ↓ أَصْحَابُ المَشْأَمَةِ, in the Kur [lvi. 9 and xc. 19], (TA,) meaning [ The occupants of the left: or] those who shall have their records given to them in their left hands: or the occupants of the low, or ignoble, place, or station: or the havers of unfortunateness (الشُّؤْم): and أَصْحَابُ المَيْمَنَةِ is expl. as having the contr. senses. (Ksh and Bd in lvi. 9.) -A2- Also, the former, A mole (خَالٌ) upon the person: thus, with ء, as mentioned by IAth: also mentioned without ء in art. شيم. (TA.) ― -b2- See also شَامَةٌ as meaning “ a black she-camel, ” in art. شيم.

شِئْمَةٌ ذ Nature; natural, native, or innate, disposition, temper, or other quality or property: (K, TA:) mentioned thus, as with ء, by AZ and Lh, and said by IJ to be sometimes thus pronounced; but the pronunciation thereof with ء is held by ISd to be extraordinary. (TA.) [See art. شيم.]

شَامِىٌّ ذ , (S, Msb, K, TA,) without ء, (TA,) and ↓ شَاآمٍ, (S, Msb, K,) of the measure فَعَالٍ, (S,) an allowable form, without ى, (Msb,) like تَهَامٍ and يَمَانٍ, (TA,) and ↓ شَاآمِىٌّ, (Sb, S, K,) [ Syrian; ] of, or relating to, الشَّأْم: (S, Msb, K:) one should not say شَأْمٍ; any instance [of this] occurring by poetic license being accounted for as a case of the use of the name of the country for the rel. n.: (S:) the fem., applied to a woman, is شَامِيَّةٌ and ↓ شَاآمِيَةٌ, the latter without teshdeed: (S, TA;) the pl. of شَامِىٌّ is شُوَامٌ, like غُرَابٌ [in measure]. (TA.) ― -b2- [And hence, Northern. ]

شَاآمٍ ذ , and شَاآمِيَةٌ the fem. of the former; and

شَاآمِىٌّ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph.

شَائِمٌ ذ : see مَشْؤُومٌ.

أَشْأَمُ ذ [ More, and most, unlucky, inauspicious, unfortunate, or unprosperous ]. The Arabs say, أَشْأَمُ كُلِّ ا@مْرِئ ٍ بَيْنَ لَحْيَيْهِ, (Meyd, TA,) as some relate it, or, as others relate it, فَكَّيْهِ, which means the same, (Meyd,) [app. meaning accord. to the TA, The most unlucky thing of every man is between his two jaws, or the two lateral portions of his lower jaw; but it is said that] أَشْأَمُ is here used in the sense of شُؤْمٌ [i. e. the unluckiness, &c.]; and in a similar manner [the contr.] أَيْمَنُ is used [in the sense of يُمْن]: so says AHeyth: (Meyd:) the prov. meaning the tongue. (AHeyth, TA.) The fem. is شُؤْمَى. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, (TA,) اليَدُ الشُّؤْمَى The left hand or arm; contr. of اليُمْنَى; (K, TA;) i. q. الشِّمَالُ. (TA.) It is said in a trad., respecting camels, لَا يَأْتِى خَيْرُهَا اـِلَّا مِنْ جَانِبِهَا الأَشْأَمِ [ Their goodness comes not save from their left side ]: i. e. they are milked and mounted only from the left side. (TA.) ― -b3- See also مَشْؤُومٌ, in three places. ― -b4- Zuheyr, in the following saying, فَتُنْتَجْ لَكُمْ غِلْمَانَ أَشْأَمَ كُلُّهُمْ كَأَحْمَرِ عَاد ٍ ثُمَّ تُرْضِعْ فَتَفْطِمْ uses it in the sense of the inf. n. شُؤْم; (S;) meaning غِلْمَانَ شُؤْمٍ: (S, and EM p. 124:) he says, And it, i. e. war, will bring forth for you boys of ill luck, or evil omen; all of them like Ahmar of' Ád: then it will suckle these boys, and wean them: by Ahmar of ' Ád, he means Ahmar of Thamood, for Ahmar was the surname of him who hamstrung the she-camel of Sálih, and his name was Kudár: he says thus for the sake of the measure: or, as some say, Thamood were called 'Ád-el-Ákhireh. (EM.)

مَشْأَمَةٌ ذ : see شُؤْمٌ, in two places: ― -b2- and see also شَأْمَةٌ, likewise in two places.

مَشْؤُومٌ ذ , (S, MA, K, KL,) and مَشُومٌ, (S, K,) the latter like مَقُولٌ, (TA,) [a contraction of the former,] Unlucky, or inauspicious, (S, MA, K, KL,) عَى قَوْمِهِ [ to his people, or party ], (S, MA, K,) and عَلَى نَفْسِهِ [ to himself ]: (Ksh and Bd in lvi. 9:) [and so ↓ شُؤْمٌ; (as in an ex. in the first sentence of this art.;) this being an epithet as well as a subst., like its syn. نَحْسٌ; syn. with مَشْؤُومٌ, like as نَحْسٌ is syn. with مَنْحُوسٌ; and app., like نَحْسٌ, used alike as sing. and pl., for it seems to be originally an inf. n.:] and so ↓ شَائِمٌ; (K;) or this signifies drawing ill luck, or evil fortune, upon his people [and upon himself]: (S, TA:) and أَشَائِمُ, a pl., likewise signifies unlucky, or inauspicious; (KL;) contr. of أَيَامِنُ; (S, K, TA;) these being pls. of ↓ أَشْأَمُ and أَيْمَنُ: (TA:) the pl. of مَشْؤُومٌ is مَشَائِيمُ, (S, KL, TA,) which is extr., for by rule it should be مَشْؤُومُونَ. (TA.) One says also ↓ طَائِرٌ أَشْأَمُ meaning [ An omen ] happening, or occurring, (جَارٍ,) with unluckiness, or inauspiciousness; [i. e. an unlucky, or inauspicious, omen; ] (K, TA;) and [in like manner] ↓ طَيْرٌ أَشْأَمُ: and the pl. is أَشَائِمُ [as above]. (TA.)

1 شَأَنْتُ شَأْنَهُ ذ i. q. قَصَدْتُ قَصْدَهُ [meaning I pursued his (another's) way, or course, doing as he did ]; (S, L, K: * in the K, شَأَنَ شَأْنَهُ and قَصَدَ قَصْدَهُ;) and in like manner one says, شَأْنَهُ ↓ اشتأن. (K.) ― -b2- And اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ Do thou what thou dost well. (S, L, K. *) And Keep thou to thy affair.

(S, L, K. [In the S and L, the verb in the sense thus expl. is in the first pers.: and in one place in the L it is expl. by أَرَادَ, which often has this meaning.]) One says also, لَأَشْأَننَّ شَأْنَهُمْ, meaning I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, (لَأَخْبُرَنَّ,) their affair or case or state: (L:) or this means I will assuredly corrupt, or pervert, or mar, their affair or case or state: (S, L, K: *) and لَأَشْأَنَنَّ خَبَرَهُ, (L,) or خَبَرَهُمْ, (K,) means I will assuredly know, or try, prove, or test, [ his, or their, state, or] him, or them. (L, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, لَاُخْبِرَنَّهُمْ, is erroneously put for لَأَخْبُرَنَّهُمْ.]) -A2- شَأَنَ بَعْدَكَ means صَارَ لَهُ شَأْنٌ [i. e., app., He became a person to whom importance attached (accord. to the general meaning of لَهُ شَأْنٌ) after thou knewest, or sawest, or mettest, him; بَعْدَكَ being for بَعْدَ عَهْدِكَ بِهِ, agreeably with common usage]. (K.)

4 اشأن شَأْنَهُمْ ذ is mentioned by Golius as meaning “ Corrupit ac pervertit rem eorum, ” as on the authority of the S, (the right reading in which has been given above,) and on that of the KL, in my copy of which I find nothing of the sort.]

8 اـِشْتَأََ see 1, first sentence.

(L.) It is said in the Kur [lv. 29], كُلَّ يَم ٍ هُوَ فِى شَأْنٍ [ Every day He is employing Himself in an affair of some kind]: expl. as meaning that, of his business (مِنْ شَأْنِهِ [which may also be rendered “ of his property ”]) it is to render mighty one who is brought low, and to bring low one who is mighty, and to enrich one who is poor, and to impoverish one who is rich; and no affair occupies him so as to divert him from an affair (لَا يَشْعَلُهُ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْنٍ). (L.) [And one says, مَا شَأْنُكَ What is thy affair? or what is thy case? And شَأْنَكَ, for اِشْأَنْ شَأْنَكَ i. e. Pursue thy way or course, or thy affair; or do what thou dost well; or keep to thy affair: or the like: and to this is often added, وَمَا تُرِيدُ i. e. and what thou wilt, or wishest, or desirest.

(L.) ― -b2- And The channel by which the tears flow, or run, to the eye: pl. [of pauc.] أَشْؤُنٌ and [of mult.] شُؤُونٌ: (L, K:) [perhaps thus called because supposed to come from the sutures of the skull: but they may have been supposed to come thence because tears are called مَاآءُ الشُّؤُونِ (as in a verse cited voce رَسَمَ); for this phrase may have been misunderstood as signifying “ the water of the sutures of the skull, ” whereas it seems to be properly rendered “ the water of the channels of the tears: ”] it is said that the شُؤُون connect the قبائل of the head [expl. above] to the eye: Lth says that they are the ducts (عُرُوق) of the tears from [ the interior of ] the head to the eye: and Th, that they are certain ducts (عروق) above the قبائل, which become strong by degrees as the man advances in age: (L: [but it seems that Th has confounded explanations of شؤون in two different senses:]) accord. to ISk, (S,) or AA and others, (L,) the شَأْنَانِ are two ducts (عِرْقَانِ) descending from [ the upper part of ] the head to the eyebrows and then to the eyes. (S, L.) ― -b3- [The pl. شُؤُونٌ is also expl. as though meaning Tears themselves, in a phrase mentioned voce ذَئِرٌ (q. v.), on the authority of the K.] ― -b4- And شُؤُونٌ الخَمْرِ means (assumed tropical:) The effluvia of wine that creep (مَا دَبَّ مِنَ الخَمْرِ) in the veins of the body.

(Msb.) ― -b2- Also (assumed tropical:) The عَمُود [meaning beam ] of the balance. (K.) ― -b3- And i. q. صَنْجَةٌ [which signifies A balance, and a steelyard, and a weight of a balance ]: so in the Expos. of the “ Muwatta. ” (MF, TA.)

(AZ, S, K. *) Accord. to [several of] the copies of the K, شَاآءَهُ i. e. like شَاعَهُ in measure, which is incorrect, [in other copies ↓ شَاآءَاهُ, agreeably with what is said in the S,] signifies He strove, or contended, with him to precede him, or outgo him: or he preceded him, or outwent him: but in the S it is said, شَاآءَاهُ, of the measure فَاعَلَهُ, signifies he strove, or contended, with him to precede him, or outgo him: and شَاآءَهُ like شَأَاهُ, [the former belonging to art. شوأ and] formed by transposition, signifies he preceded him, or outwent him; and both of these are used by the poet (El-Hárith Ibn-Khálid El-Makhzoomee, TA) in his saying, مَرَّ الحُدُوجُ وَمَا شَأَوْنَكَ نَقْرَةً وَلَقَدْ أَرَاكَ تُشَاآءُ بِالأَظْعَانِ this [passage in the S], however, is taken from what is said by A'Obeyd, in [his work] “ ElGhareeb el-Musannaf, ” which is as follows: شَاآءَنِى الأَمْرُ, like شَاعَنِى [in measure], and شَاآنِى, like شَعَانِى, mean the affair, or event, grieved me; and thus in the verse of El-Hárith Ibn-Khálid, which he cites; and the same is said in the T on the authority of IAar, who says that the poet has used two dial. vars.: [accordingly the verse may be rendered, The camels with their saddles upon them passed along and they grieved thee not at all; but I see thee that thou art grieved by the women borne in the camel-vehicles: ] it is said in the M, شَاآءَنِى الشَّىْءُ means the thing preceded me, or outwent me: and also the thing grieved me: formed by transposition from شَاآنِى, as is proved by its having no inf. n.: IAar says that they are two dial. vars. because of his not being a grammarian. (TA.) [See also 8.] -A2- And شَأَوْتُ البِئْرَ, (Lh, TA,) or شأوت مِنَ البِئْرِ, (S,) inf. n. شَأْوٌ, (K, TA,) I drew forth the earth from the well: (S, K: *) or I drew forth a basketful of earth (شَأْوًا) or two basketfuls of earth (شَأْوَيْنِ) from the well. (Lh, TA.)

3 شَاآءَاهُ ذ : see 1. يُشَاوِى occurs in a verse of Milhah El-Jarmee, meaning يُسَابِقُ, from شَأْوٌ meaning طَلَقٌ: one says شَأَاهُ, aor. يَشْأَاهُ, meaning سَبَقَهُ: but the verb of the measure regularly formed from الشَّأْوُ is شَاآءى; so that يشاوى is formed by transposition and by the change of the ء into ى. (Ham p. 786.)

6 تَشَاآءَى مَا بَيْنَهُمَا ذ , (S, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, تَشاوَى,]) like تَشَاعَى [in measure], (S,) The space between them two became farextending. (S, K.) ― -b2- And تشاآءى القَوْمُ The people, or party, became scattered, or dispersed. (S, K.)

(TA.) -A2- Also A [ basket such as is termed ] زَبِيل; and so ↓ مِشْاآةٌ: (K:) or ↓ زَبِيل in which the earth of a well is taken forth; of the measure of مِشْعَاةٌ; and the pl. is مَشَاآءٍ: (S:) and شَأْوٌ signifies, (S,) or signifies also, (K,) the earth that is taken forth from a well (S, K) with the like of the مِشْاآة, (as in a copy of the S,) or such as fills the مشْاآة: (so in another copy of the S [agreeably with what next follows]:) a زَبِيل of the earth of a well. (As, T, TA.) ― -b2- And hence, i. e. as being likened to a زبيل of the earth of a well, (assumed tropical:) The dung that the he-ass and the she-ass casts forth: (As, T, TA:) or the dung of the she-camel; (M, K;) but the more approved word is [سَأْوٌ,] with س.

2 شبّب النَّارَ ذ , inf. n. تَشْبِيبٌ: see the preceding paragraph. ― -b2- Hence, تَشْبِيبُ الشِّعْرِ (tropical:) The making the commencement of poetry elegant, or ornate, by the mention of women: (L, TA:) or the primary meaning of التَّشْبِيبُ is the mention of the days of youth and of play or sport, and amatory language; and it is in the commencing of odes; and the commencement thereof is so called, absolutely, though there be not in it any mention of youth: (TA:) it means النَّسِيبُ, (S, O,) or النَّسِيبُ بِالنِّسَاآءِ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, التَّشَبُّبُ بالنِساءِ,]) i. e. بِذِكْرِهِنَّ: (TA:) one says, يُشَبِّبُ بِقُلَانَةَ, (S, O,) and بِهَا ↓ يتشبّب [if this be not a mistranscription for يُشَبِّبُ], (TA,) meaning يَنْسِبُ بِهَا: (S, O, TA:) [see this fully expl. in art. نسب: i. e.] شبّب بِفُلَانَةَ, inf. n. تَشْبِيبٌ, means, (tropical:) He spoke of such a female in amatory language [ in the commencement of his ode ], (Msb, TA,) and alluded to the love of her: (Msb:) and شبّب قَصِيدَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) He embellished [ the commencement of ] his ode by the mention of women: (Mgh, Msb:) and شبّب قَصِيدَتَهُ بِفُلَانَةَ (tropical:) [ He embellished the commencement of his ode by mentioning, in amatory language, such a female ]: (A, TA:) and ↓ شَبَابٌ is used in the sense of تَشْبِيبٌ; thus a قَصِيدَة is said to be حَسَنَةٌ الشَّبَابِ (tropical:) [ Beautiful in the mention of women &c.]; and Jereer is said to have been أَرَقُّ النَّاسِ شَبَابًا (tropical:) [ The most elegant of men in the mention of women &c.]. (A, TA.) ― -b3- Hence, i. e. from تَشْبِيبٌ القَصِيدَةِ, may be derived التَّشْبِيبُ as a conventional term in the science of the division of inheritances; meaning (assumed tropical:) The mention of daughters according to the different degrees [ of descent ]: (Mgh:) it is as when one says, “ he died, and left three daughters of a son, subordinate one to another, and three daughters of a son's son, in like manner, and three daughters of a son's son's son, in like manner, and the sons died and the daughters remained. ” (O.) ― -b4- تَشْبِيبُ الكُتُبِ signifies (assumed tropical:) The commencing of books, or writings: and hence شَبَّبَ يُجَاوِبُهُ, occurring in a trad., meaning (assumed tropical:) He commenced answering him: not from the تَشْبِيب of women in poetry.
