Mention is made, in a trad., of a horse as being مَرْبُوطٌ بِشَطَنَيْنِ [i. e. Tied with two ropes, or long ropes, &c.,] because of his strength. (TA.) And one says of a strong-spirited horse, اـِنَّهُ لَيَنْزُو بَيْنَ شَطَنَيْنِ [ Verily he leaps between two ropes, or long ropes, &c.]: a saying applied as a prov. to him who exults, or exults greatly, or excessively, and behaves insolently and ungratefully, and is strong. (TA.) An Arab of the desert described a horse (S, Msb) that did not become abraded in the sole of his hoof (so in a copy of the S) by saying, كَأَنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ فِى أَشْطَانٍ [ As though he were a devil in ropes, or long ropes, &c. ]. (S, Msb.)

نَوًى شَطُونٌ ذ (S) or نِيَّةٌ شَطُونٌ (K) [ A place to which one purposes journeying ] that is distant, or remote. (S, K.) And غَزْوَةٌ شَطُونٌ [ A warring and plundering expedition ] that is distant. (K.) And حَرْبٌ شَطُونٌ [ Distant war: or] (assumed tropical:) war that is difficult [ because distant ]. (TA. See an ex. in a verse cited voce جُبَّةٌ.) [See also شَطِينٌ, and شَاطِنٌ.] ― -b2- بِئْرٌ شَطُونٌ (tropical:) A deep well, (S, K, TA,) curving in its interior: (TA:) or a well from which the bucket is drawn out by means of two ropes, from its two sides, wide in the upper part and narrow in the lower part; (K, TA;) so that if one draws out the bucket from it by means of one rope, one draws it against the casing, and it becomes rent. (TA.) And رُمْحٌ شَطُونٌ (assumed tropical:) A long and crooked spear. (TA.)

شَطِينٌ ذ Distant, or remote. (TA. [See also شَطُونٌ, and شَاطِنٌ.])

شَاطِنٌ ذ [ Distant, or remote, in respect of the place of alighting or abode]; i. q. شَاطِبٌ [q. v.]. (TA in art. شطب. [See also شَطُونٌ, and شَطِينٌ.]) ― -b2- And (assumed tropical:) Far from the truth [ and from the mercy of God: see 1]. (TA.) ― -b3- And i. q. خَبِيثٌ (assumed tropical:) [ Bad, corrupt, &c.; like سَاطِنٌ]. (K.) Umeiyeh (S, TA) Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, referring to Solomon, (TA,) says, أَيُّمَا شَاطِنٍ عَصَاهُ عَكَاهُ ثُمَّ يُلْقَى فِى السِّجْنِ وَالأَغْلَالِ [ Whatever bad one disobeyed him, he bound him in irons; then he was cast into the prison and the shackles for the neck and hands ]. (S, TA.)

شَيْطَانٌ ذ a word of well-known meaning [i. e. A devil; and with the article ال, the devil, Satan ]: (S, K:) any that is excessively, or inordinately, proud or corrupt or unbelieving or rebellious, or that is insolent and audacious in pride and in acts of rebellion, of mankind, and of the jinn, or genii, and of beasts; (A'Obeyd, S, Msb, K;) as is shown in relation to the first and second of these by what is said in the Kur vi. 112, and ii. 13 and 96: (TA:) the ن is radical, (S, Msb, TA,) the word being of the measure فَيْعَالٌ, from شَطَنَ, (Msb, TA,) signifying “ he was, or became, distant, or remote, ” (TA,) or signifying “ he was, or became, remote, or far, from the truth, and from the mercy of God; ” (Msb;) as is indicated by the pl. شَيَاطِينُ; [for] the reading of El-Hasan in the Kur xxvi. 210, الشَّيَاطُونَ, is anomalous, [like بَسَاتُونَ for بَسَاتِينُ,] and is said by Th to be a mistake: (TA:) or, as some say, the ن is augmentative, (S, Msb, TA, *) and the ى is radical, so that the word is of the measure فَعْلَان, (Msb,) from شَاطَ, aor. يَشِيطُ, (Msb, TA,) signifying “ it was, or became, null, void, of no account, ” and the like, and “ it burned, ” or “ became burnt, ” (Msb,) or signifying “ he burned with anger: ” but the former opinion is the more common: (TA:) [in the Kur, the word is always perfectly decl.; and so it is said to be by SM, in art. شيط of the TA; unless used as a proper name: but J says,] if you make it to be of the measure فَيْعَال from تَشَيْطَنَ said of a man, [or rather because they say of a man تشيطن,] you make it perfectly decl.; but if you make it to be from شَيَّطَ [“ he burned ” a thing], you make it imperfectly decl., because it is of the measure فَعْلَان. (S.) ― -b2- Also The serpent: (S, K:) or a certain species of serpents; (Fr, S, TA;) having a mane, of foul aspect: or, as some say, a slender, light, or active, serpent. (TA.) ― -b3- Respecting the saying in the Kur [xxxvii. 63], طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُ رُؤُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ [ Its fruit is as though it were the heads of the شياطين], Fr says that there are three ways in which it may be explained: one is, that the طلع is likened to the heads of the شياطين [meaning devils ] in respect of foulness, or ugliness, because these are described as foul, or ugly: (S:) or it is likened to the evil in disposition of the jinn, because these are imagined as foul, or ugly: Zj says, in explaining it, that one says of a thing deemed foul, or ugly, كَأَنَّهُ وَجْهُ شَيْطَانٍ [ as though it were the face of a devil ], and كَأَنَّهُ رَأْسُ شَيْطَانٍ [ as though it were the head of a devil ]; for though the شيطان is not seen, he is conceived in the mind as the foulest, or ugliest, of things: (TA:) the second is, that [the meaning is foul, or ugly, serpents; for] the Arabs apply the name شيطان to a sort of serpents, having a mane, foul, or ugly, in the head and face: (S, TA: *) the third is, that a certain foul, or ugly, plat is named رُؤُوسُ الشَّيَاطِينِ; (S, TA;) which is expl. in the K only as meaning a certain plant. (TA.) ― -b4- شَيْطَانُ الفَلَا [lit. The devil of the waterless deserts ] means (assumed tropical:) thirst. (K.) ― -b5- شَيْطَانٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Any blamable faculty, or power, [or propensity, ] of a man. (Er-Rághib, TA.) One says, رَكِبَهُ شَيْطَانُهُ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [ His anger got the ascendency over him; or] he was, or became, angry. (TA.) And نَزَعَ شَيْطَانَهُ (assumed tropical:) He plucked out his pride. (TA.) ― -b6- Also, [probably as being likened to a serpent,] (assumed tropical:) A mark made with a hot iron in the upper part of the haunch of a camel, perpendicularly, upon the thigh, extending to the hock; (K, TA;) from the “ Tedhkireh ” of Aboo-'Alee; (TA;) likewise called ↓ مُشَيْطَنَةٌ.

(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.

(TA.) One says also, تشظّى اللُّؤْلُؤُ عَنِ الصَّدَفِ (tropical:) [ The pearls became separated, or scattered, from the oyster-shells ]. (A, TA.) See also 1, in two places.

(TA.) AO says that تَحَرُّكُ الشَّظَى [i. e. The motion of the شظى from its place (see 1)] is like what is termed اِنْتِشَارُ العَصَبِ, except that the horse has more power of endurance of the latter than of the former. (T, TA.) ― -b3- And Portions of a thing that are separated, or dispersed, or scattered. (Har p. 160.) It is said by ISd to be a pl. [or rather it is a coll. gen. n.] of which the sing.

(TA.) ― -b5- Also (assumed tropical:) The followers, and incorporated confederates, of a people, or party; (S, K;) contr. of the صَمِيم thereof: (S:) or the freedmen and followers. (M, TA.)

R. Q. 1 شَعْشَعَهُ ذ , (S, O, K,) inf. n. شَعْشَعَةٌ, (TA,) He mixed it, namely, wine, (S, O, K,) with water. (O.) And He mixed one part of it, namely, a thing, with another part, (O, * K,) like as one mixes wine with water. (O.) And شَعْشَعَ الثَّرِيدَةَ He mixed the ثريدة [or mess of crumbled bread ] with olive-oil: (O:) or he put much clarified butter to it, (ISh, O, K,) and much grease, or gravy: (K:) or he raised its head; (O, K;) as some say: (Sh, O:) or he made its head high; (O, K;) as some say; from شَعْشَاعٌ as an epithet applied to a man, meaning “ tall. ” (O.)

R. Q. 2 تَشَعْشَعَ ذ , said of a man, is from ↓ شَعْشَاعٌ applied to a man as meaning حُلْوٌ خَفِيفٌ [i. e. “ such as is excited to briskness, liveliness, or sprightliness, and esteemed pleasing in the eye, and is light, or active; ” so that the verb may be rendered He was, or became, such as is excited to briskness, &c.: or he was, or became, such as is termed شَعْشَاعٌ, q. v.]. (Ham, p. 246.) ― -b2- Said of the month It nearly came to an end; little remained of it: (K, TA:) occurring in a trad.: but accord. to one relation thereof, it is تَشَعْسَعَ; from الشُّسُوعُ “ the being distant, or remote: ” and accord. to another, تَشَعْسَعَ, with two سs. (TA.)

شَعٌّ ذ : see شَعَاعٌ, first and last sentences. -A2- Also Haste: (IAar, K, TA:) and so شَعِيعٌ accord. to the K; but this is wrong; the meaning of the latter word being only that given below, voce شَعَاعٌ. (TA.)

(S, K.) One says, ذَهَبَ دَمُهُ شَعَاعًا His blood went scattered, or dispersed: (TA:) or شَعَاعٌ applied to blood signifies spirtling from a wound made with a spear or the like; as in a verse cited voce نَفَذٌ.

(Z, TA.) And طَارَ فُؤَادُهُ شَعَاعًا [ His mind fled in a disordered, or an unsettled, state, as though dissipated; expl. as] meaning تَفَرَّقَتْ هُمُومُهُ [a mistranscription, as before: correctly تفرّقت هِمَمُهُ i. e. his purposes, or intentions, became disordered, or unsettled: see also Ham p. 44, and Har p. 366].
