(AHn, TA.) ― -b2- Said of a horse, (As, S, Mgh, K,) aor. شَظَىَ , inf. n. شَظًى, (K,) His شظى, (As, S, Mgh, K,) i. e. the small bone called الشَّظَى, (As, S, Mgh, *) moved from its place, (As, S, Mgh,) or became displaced, syn. زُوِىَ, (A, TA,) or became unsteady, or wabbling: (K:) and so ↓ تشظّى, (K, TA,) this latter on the authority of ISd: (TA:) or [the inf. n.] شَظًى, accord. to some, signifies the sinews' becoming split, or slit: (As, S, Mgh:) or شَظًى has this meaning also; (K;) and so ↓ تَشَظّ. (ISd, K, TA.) -A2- Accord. to the K, شَظِىَ, said of a corpse, is syn. with شَصِىَ: but correctly, the former verb is شَظَى, aor. شَظِىَ , inf. n. شُظِىٌّ, and the latter verb is شَصَا [q. v.], as they are said to be by Az: and in like manner, شَظِى, aor. شَظِىَ , is said of a سِقَاآء [or skin for water or milk], meaning It being filled, its legs became raised, or raised high.
