شنء

شَنْاآن ذ , of which the fem. is شَنْاآنَةٌ and شَنْأَى, [so that one may say either شَنْاآنٌ or شَنْاآنُ,] is an epithet applied to a man; (K;) [signifying either Hating or (like مَشْنُوْءٌ) hated; the former meaning seeming to be indicated by what immediately precedes it in the K; but the latter appears from what here follows to be the right meaning, and perhaps it may be that which is meant in the K;] as also ↓ شَنَانِئَةٌ or ↓ شَنَائِيَةٌ [q. v. voce شَنَاآءَةٌ]: so accord. to different copies of the K. (TA.) ― -b2- In the Kur v. 3 and 11, it is accord. to some an inf. n., and some read there شَنَاآن: [see 1, first sentence:] accord. to others, it is an epithet, signifying مُبْغَضٌ or بَغِيضٌ [i. e. Hated or odious ]. (TA.) ― -b3- شَنْاآنُ الشِّتَاآءِ, in a trad. of Kaab, is said to be a metaphorical expression for بَرْدُ الشِّتَاآءِ (tropical:) [ The cold of winter ]; because it is hated: or, as some say, by the بَرْد thereof is meant ease and repose: and the meaning intended is either mutual hatred or ease and repose.
