(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.)
