(Ham p. 404.) [See a verse cited voce عَرَضٌ, in which it means A cause of anxiety. ] ― -b2- And The soul's love, or its inclination, or its blamable inclination: (L:) [or] love that is followed by anxiety and grief. (Kull p. 165.) ― -b3- And A want, (S, L, Msb, K,) as also ↓ شَجِينٌ, (L,) wherever it be: (S, L, K:) pl. شُجُونٌ (S, L, Msb, K) and أَشْجَانٌ; (L, Msb, K;) the latter being pl. of شَجِينٌ also. (L.) A rájiz says, لِى شَجَنَانِ شَجَنٌ بِنَجْدِ وَشَجَنٌ لِى بِبِلَادِ السِّنْدِ [ I have two wants; a want in Nejd, and I have a want in the country of Es-Sind ].

(Msb.) ― -b2- See also شِجْنَةٌ. ― -b3- And see شَجْنٌ. ― -b4- Also, (K,) or شجنة, (L, [thus written without any syll. signs, perhaps fem. of شَجَنٌ, i. e. شَجَنَةٌ, but it seems to be indicated by the context in the L that it is ↓ شُجْنَةٌ,]) A she-camel compact in make, of which the several parts are interknit, one with another, (L, K, *) like the parts of a tree.
