Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

شَكْلٌ ذ i. q. شَبَةٌ [as meaning A likeness, resemblance, or semblance; a well-known signification of the latter word, but one which I do not find unequivocally assigned to it in its proper art. in any of the lexicons]. (AA, K, TA. [In the CK, and in my MS. copy of the K, in the place of الشَّبَهُ as the first explanation of الشَّكْلُ in the K accord. to the TA, we find الشِّبْهُ; but that the explanation which I have given is correct, is shown by what here follows.]) One says, فِى فُلَانٍ شَكْلٌ مِنْ أَبِيهِ, meaning شَبَهٌ [i. e. In such a one is a likeness, or resemblance, of his father ]: (AA, TA:) and مِنْ أَبِيهِ ↓ فِيهِ أَشْكَلَةٌ and ↓ شُكْلَةٌ (AA, O, K, TA) and ↓ شَاكِلٌ, (O, K, TA,) [likewise] meaning شَبَهٌ, (AA, O, K, TA,) and مُشَابَهَةٌ: (TK:) and ↓ شَاكِلَةٌ also is syn. with شَكْلٌ [in the sense of شَبَهٌ]; (K, TA;) [for] one says, هٰذَا عَلَى شَاكِلَةِ أَبِيهِ as meaning شَبَهِهِ [i. e. This is accordant to the likeness of his father ]. (TA.) ― -b2- And I. q. مِثَالٌ: you say, هٰذَا عَلَى شَكْلِ هٰذَا, meaning على مِثَالِهِ [i. e. This is according to the model, or pattern, or the mode, or manner, of this ]. (TA.) ― -b3- And The shape, form, or figure, (صُورَة,) of a thing; such as is perceived by the senses; and such as is imagined: (K:) the form (هَيْئَة), of a body, caused by the entire contents' being included by one boundary, as in the case of a sphere; or by several boundaries, as in those bodies that have several angles or sides, such as have four and such as have six [&c.]: so says Ibn-El-Kemál: (TA:) pl. [of pauc., in this and in other senses,] أَشْكَالٌ and [of mult.] شُكُولٌ. (K.) ― -b4- [It often means A kind, sort, or variety, of animals, plants, food, &c.] ― -b5- [And The likeness, or the way or manner, of the actions of a person:] it is said in a trad. respecting the description of the Prophet, سَأَلْتُ أَبِى عَنْ شَكْلِهِ, meaning [ I asked my father respecting the likeness of his actions, or] respecting what was like his actions; accord. to IAmb: or, accord. to Az, respecting his particular way, course, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct: (O:) and ↓ شَاكِلَةٌ [likewise, and more commonly,] signifies a particular way, course, mode, or manner, of acting, or conduct; (S, O, K, TA;) as in the saying, كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ, (S, O, TA,) in the Kur [xvii. 86], (O, TA,) i. e. Every one does according to his particular way, &c., (Ibn-'Arafeh, S, O, Bd, Jel, TA,) that is suitable to his state in respect of right direction and of error, or to the essential nature of his soul, and to his circumstances that are consequent to the constitution, or temperament, of his body: (Bd:) and according to his nature, or natural disposition, (Ibn-'Arafeh, Er-Rághib, O, TA,) by which he is restricted [ as with a شِكَال]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and his direction towards which he would go: (Akh, S, O, K, * TA:) and his side [ that he takes ]: (Katádeh, O, K, * TA:) and his aim, intention, or purpose: (Katádeh, O, K, TA:) and شَكْلٌ [likewise] signifies aim, intention, or purpose; syn. قَصْدٌ. (TA.) ― -b6- Also A thing that is suitable to one; or fit, or proper, for one: you say, هٰذَا مِنْ هَوَاىَ وَمِنْ شَكْلِى [ This is of what is loved by me and of what is suitable to me ]: (K, TA:) and لَيْسَ شَكْلُهُ مِنْ شَكْلِى [ What is suitable to him is not of what is suitable to me ]. (TA.) [And hence, app.,] one says, مَاشَكْلِى وَشَكْلُهُ, meaning What is my case and [what is] his, or its, case? because of his, or its, remoteness from me. (T and TA voce أُمٌّ.) ― -b7- And sing. of أَشْكَالٌ (L, K, TA) signifying Discordant affairs and objects of want, concerning things on account of which one imposes upon himself difficulty and for which one is anxious: (Lth, TA:) and dubious, or confused, affairs: (TA:) or discordant, and dubious, or confused, affairs.

(S, O, Msb, K. *) One says, هٰذَا شَكْلُ هٰذَا This is the like of this. (Msb.) And فُلَانٌ شَكْلُ فُلَانٍ Such a one is the like of such a one in his several states or conditions [&c.]. (TA.) In the saying in the Kur [xxxviii. 58], وَاآخَرُ مِنْ شَكْلِهِ, (O, TA,) meaning And other punishment of the like thereof, (Zj, TA,) Mujáhid read ↓ من شِكْلِهِ.

(K.) One says اِمْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ شِكْلٍ [ A woman having amorous gesture or behaviour; &c.]. (S, O, Msb.)

شَكَلٌ ذ , in a sheep or goat, The quality of being white in the شَاكِلَة. (S, O.

AO] says, I have not heard it used except in relation to redness, not in relation to yellowness. (TA.) فِيهِ شُكْلَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ means In him, or it, is a little [or a small admixture ] of blood. (TA.)

(S, O.) -A2- Also A want; syn. حَاجَةٌ; and so ↓ أَشْكَلَةٌ, (S, O, K, [both of these words twice mentioned in this sense in the K,]) and ↓ شَوْكَلَاآءُ; this last and the second on the authority of IAar; (O;) accord. to Er-Rághib, such as binds, or shackles, (تُقَيِّد,) a man [ as though with a شِكَال]. (TA.) One says, ↓ لَنَا قِبَلَكَ أَشْكَلَةٌ [&c.] i. e. حَاجَةٌ [ We have a want to be supplied to us on thy part; meaning we want a thing of thee ]. (S, O.) -A3- Also i. q. مُدَاهَنَةٌ. (So in the O and TA. [But whether by this explanation be meant the inf. n., or the fem. pass. part. n., of دَاهَنَ, is not indicated. Words of the measure فَعْلَاآءُ having the meaning of an inf. n., like بَغْضَاآءُ, are rare.])

(TA.) One says, أَصَابَ شَاكِلَةَ الرَّمِيَّةِ, meaning [ He hit ] the خَاصِرَة [or flank ] of the رميّة [or animal shot at ]. (TA.)

[ شَكَامَةٌ ذ expl. by Golius as meaning “ Malitia indolis, contumacia, ” as on the authority of the KL, is app. a mistake for شَكَاسَةٌ, which I find expl. in the KL as signifying the “ being evil in nature, or natural disposition, ” but not شكامة. ― -b2- Freytag explains it as meaning also Likeness; a signification of شَكِيمَةٌ, also mentioned by him; but for this he names no authority, and I know of none.]

شَكِيمَةٌ ذ , in the لِجَام, [The bit-mouth, or mouthpiece of a pit; i. e.] the transverse piece of iron in the mouth of the horse, in which is the فَأْس [q. v.]; (S, K;) as also ↓ شَكِيمٌ: (S:) [see also لِجَامٌ, and مِسْحَلٌ:] or ↓ شَكِيمٌ is pl. of شَكِيمَةٌ, as also شَكَائِمُ and شُكُمٌ, (K, TA,) this last with two dammehs, [but written in the CK شُكْمٌ,] or [rather ↓ شَكِيمٌ is a coll. gen. n., and] شُكُمٌ is said by some to be pl. of شَكِيمٌ, not of شَكِيمَةٌ. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, [as used in phrases mentioned below,] (TA,) (tropical:) Resistance, or incompliance: (S, TA:) disdain, scorn, or disdainful and proud incompliance or refusal: and self-defence from wrong treatment: (K:) and self-magnification, pride, or haughtiness; syn. شَمَمٌ; السَّمُّ in the copies of the K being a mistake for الشَّمَمُ: (TA:) firmness, strength, or vehemence, of spirit; (TA, and Ham p. 140;) and evilness of nature or disposition: (Ham ibid:) strength of heart: (IAar, TA:) hardiness; courage, or courage and energy; or determination; syn. عَارِضَةٌ: vigorousness, strenuousness, or energy: (TA:) also [simply] nature, or natural disposition; syn. طَبْعٌ.

One says, فُلَاآنٌ ذُو شَكِيمَةٍ (tropical:) Such a one is resistant, or incompliant: (S, TA:) or disdainful, or scornful; resistant, unyielding, or incompliant: one who defends himself from wrong treatment: proud: hardy: courageous: one possessing prudence or discretion, or firmness or soundness of judgment. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ شَدِيدُ الشَّكِيمَةِ, meaning [in like manner] (tropical:) Such a one is firm, strong, or vehement, of spirit; (S, TA, and Ham p. 140;) disdainful, or scornful; resistant, unyielding, or incompliant; (S, K, TA;) so says ISk: (TA:) or, as some say, one possessing strength, or vehemence, of tongue; and perspicuity, or eloquence, of speech or language; or perspicuity of speech with quickness, or sharpness, of intellect; and much hardiness, or courage, or courage and energy, or determination.

(TA.) ― -b3- And شَكَاهُ, (MA, K, TA,) inf. n. شَكْوٌ and شَكَاةٌ and شَكْوَى, (MA, TA,) is said in relation to a disease, or sickness; (MA, K, TA;) meaning He (a diseased, or sick, person) complained of it, namely, his disease, or sickness; (MA; [accord. to the TK, followed in this case, as in many others, by Freytag, it means it (i. e. disease, or sickness,) afflicted him; which I think to be indubitably a mistake;]) and ↓ تشكّى and ↓ اشتكى signify the same [as شَكَا مَرَضَهُ he complained of his disease, or sickness ]: (TA:) [or] these two verbs (تشكّى and اشتكى) signify [or signify also] he was, or became, diseased, or sick. (TA in additions at the end of this art.) One says also, ↓ اشتكى عُضْوًا مِنْ أَعْضَائِهِ and ↓ تشكّى, both meaning the same [i. e., originally, He complained of a pain, or disease, in some one of his members; but generally meaning he had a complaint of, or a pain or a disease in, some one of his members; and شَكَا عُضْوًا not unfrequently occurs used in the same sense]: (S:) [thus one often says of a brute; for ex.,] As says, in explaining القُلَابُ as meaning “ a certain disease that attacks the camel, ” مِنْهُ قَلْبَهُ ↓ يَشْتَكِى [ he has a pain in consequence thereof in his heart; in which قَلْبَهُ, though determinate, may be considered as an explicative, like بَطْنَهُ in the phrase أَلِمَ بَطْنَهُ, q. v.]. (S in art. قلب.) ― -b4- One says also, هُوَ يُشْكَى بِكَذَا, meaning He is accused, or suspected, of such a thing; syn. يُتَّهَمُ بِهِ: (K: [there mentioned as though it were from أُشْكِىَ, and held to be so by the author of the TK; but it is from شُكِىَ; as though meaning he is complained of by reason of such a thing: ]) mentioned by Yaakoob, in the “ Alfádh. ” (TA.) -A2- شكى فُلَانٌ [thus in my original, app. شَكَا or شَكَى,] is mentioned by Az as meaning The nails of such a one became split in several, or many, places. (TA.)

2 شَكَّتِ النِّسَاآءُ ذ , inf. n. تَشْكِيَةٌ; and ↓ اشتكت; and ↓ تشكّت; (K;) or, accord. to Th, only this last; (TA;) The women took for themselves, or made, a شَكْوَة [q. v.] for the churning of milk; (K, TA;) because it was little in quantity; the شكوة being small, so that only a small quantity can be churned in it: (TA:) or, as in the T, شكّى and ↓ تشكّى he took for himself, or made, a شَكْوَة: (TA:) [or] so ↓ اشتكى: (S:) and so ↓ اشكى. (IKtt, TA.) -A2- شَكَّى شَاكِيَهُ, inf. n. تَشْكِيَةٌ, expl. in the K as meaning كَفَّ عَنْهُ and طَيَّبَ نَفْسَهُ, is a foul mistranscription: correctly, سَلَّى شَاكِيَهُ, meaning “ He comforted his complainer, and consoled him for that which had befallen him; ” as in the Tekmileh. (TA.)

3 شاكاهُ ذ , inf. n. مُشَاكَاةٌ, He complained of him, i. q. شَكَاهُ: or he told of his deceit, guile, or circumvention, and his vices, or faults. (TA.)

4 اشكاهُ ذ [ He made him, or caused him, to complain; ] he did to him that which made him, or caused him, to have need to complain of him. (S, Msb.) He increased his annoyance and complaining. (Az, K, TA.) ― -b2- And He removed, or did away with, his complaint; or made his complaint to cease; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) he caused him to be pleased or contented [ and so relieved him from his complaint ]; syn. أَعْتَبَهُ مِنْ شَكْوَاهُ; (S, and Har p. 337;) i. e. أَرْضَاهُ; (Har ibid.;) and he desisted from that of which he complained: (S, * Msb:) thus it has two contr. significations. (S, K.) Hence the saying, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) in a trad., (TA,) اـِلَى رَسُولِ ا@للّٰهِ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَاآءِ ↓ شَكَوْنَا فِى صِيَامِنَا فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا [ We complained, to the Apostle of God, of the heat of the burning ground, in our fasting, ] and he did not remove, or cause to cease, our complaint. (Mgh, * Msb, TA.) And [hence] one says, اشكى فُلَانًا مِنْ فُلَانٍ, meaning He took for such a one, from such a one, what pleased or contented him [ and so relieved him from complaining of him ]. (ISd, K, TA: omitted in the CK.) ― -b3- Also He told him his complaint, and the desire, or longing of the soul, that he endured. (TA.) ― -b4- And i. q. وَجَدَهُ شَاكِيًا [which may mean He found him to be complaining, or, as seems to be indicated by what immediately precedes it in the K, he found him to be complaining of a disease of the slightest sort ]: (K:) or, as in the T, اشكى [app. meaning اشكى حَبِيبَهُ] signifies he found the object of his love, or his friend, to be complaining; expl. by صَادَفَ حَبِيبَهُ يَشْكُو. (TA.) -A2- See also 2.

5 تشكّى ذ He expressed complaint or lamentation, pain, grief, or sorrow; syn. تَوَجَّعَ; (Msb and K in art. وجع;) he made complaint or lamentation. (MA, KL.) See 1, in four places. ― -b2- [Hence] one says, تشكّى شَاآئِى أَرْضَ كَذَا, meaning (assumed tropical:) [ My sheep or goats ] forsook such a land, [ as though they complained of it, ] and did not go near it. (TA. [But I have substituted شَائِى for what is there written شاكى, an evident mistranscription.]) -A2- See also 2, in two places.

(JM.) ― -b2- And Pained; syn. مُوجَعٌ; (K, TA;) in this sense an instance of فَعِيلٌ in the sense of مَفْعُولٌ: (TA:) or causing pain; syn. مُوجِعٌ: [thus accord. to both of my copies of the S: and this appears to be correct; for it is there immediately added,] El-Tirimmáh says, وَسْمِى شَكِىٌّ وَلِسَانِى عَارِمُ [which is inconsiderately cited in the TA immediately after the former of these two explanations: I say “ inconsiderately ” because the meaning evidently is, not that thus indicated in the TA, but, My branding, or stigmatizing, by satire, (for one says وَسَمَهُ بِالهِجَاآءِ,) is such as causes pain, and my tongue is vehement: or شَكِىٌّ may here have the last but one of the meanings expl. in this paragraph]: وَسْمِى is from السِّمَةُ. (S.) ― -b3- Also Affected with a complaint, meaning disease, malady, or sickness, [app. in an absolute sense, (see شَكْوٌ,) and also] of the least, or lightest, or slightest, sort; and so ↓ شَاكٍ. (M, K.) ― -b4- And i. q. ↓ مَشْكُوٌّ, (S, Msb, K,) which is a pass. part. n. of شَكَا; [and therefore signifies Complained of; and also complained to; but mostly seems to be used in the former of these senses;] as also ↓ مَشْكِىٌّ.

شَكِّىٌّ ذ , (thus in copies of the K,) or شُكِّىٌّ, with damm to the ش, (TA,) is mentioned in art. شك [q. v.], and J has committed a mistake (K, TA) in mentioning it here, as Sgh has observed: (TA:) [accord. to F, it seems to be a rel. n. applied to a bit, or bridle; for it is said to be so applied in the K, as well as in the O, in art. شك, in which both explain it as meaning Difficult; and also to a skin; for immediately after asserting that J has committed a mistake, F adds,] and شَكَّى, like حَتَّى, is a town in Armenia, whence [are brought] bits, or bridles, (لُجُم,) and skins, (K,) [and SM adds that they are termed شكّيّة: but what I find J to have stated is as follows:] الشَّكِىُّ, [thus in one of my copies of the S,] or الشُكِى, [thus in the other of those copies,] in relation to weapons, is an arabicized word, and is in Turkish لَش or لَشْ. (S. [But in the JM, this last word is written, as from the S, تشن: it may therefore be correctly لَشْن, or لَشِن, which, though used in Turkish, is a Pers. word, meaning smooth. ])

شَاكٍ ذ : see شَكِىٌّ, in two places. -A2- In the phrase رَجُلٌ شَاكِى السِّلَاحِ, (S,) which means A man whose weapon is sharp, or whose weapons are sharp, (S, K, *) Akh says that شاكى is formed by transposition from شَائِك [q. v. in art. شوك]: (S:) and accord. to AZ, one says also شَاكٍ فِى السِّلاحِ.

(TA.)

(K, TA.) One says, in praying for a person, لَا تَشْلَلْ يَدُكَ [ May thy hand, or arm, not become unsound, &c.]: (S, Msb, * K: *) and لَا شَلَلًا and ↓ لَا شَلَالِ, which mean the same; the last word like قَطَامِ. (K.) And شَلَّ عَشْرُهُ, and خَمْسُهُ, [ His ten fingers became unsound, &c., and his five fingers,] and some say شَلَّتْ, but this is more rare; i. e., the suppression of the fem. ت is more usual in a case of this kind. (Lh, TA.) To one who has shot or thrown, or who has pierced or thrust, well, one says, لَا شَلَلًا وَلَا عَمًى [Mayest thou not experience unsoundness, &c., nor blindness ]; and لَا شَلَّ عَشْرُكَ [ May thy ten fingers not become unsound, &c.], meaning أَصَابِعُكَ. (S, O.) He who says شَلَّ المَارِنُ and شَلَّتِ الأُذُنُ is a foreigner. (Mgh.) The lawyers [improperly] use الشَّلَل in relation to the ذَكَر. (Msb.) One says also, شَلِلْتَ يَا رَجُلُ [ Thou hast become unsound, &c., in thy hand or thine arm, O man ]. (S, O.) And لَا شَلَلَ, meaning لَا تَشْلَلْ, because it occupies the place of an imperative. (Lth, TA.) In the saying of the rájiz, (S,) namely, Abu-l-Khudree El-Yarboo'ee, (O, TA,) مُهْرَ أَبِى الجَبْحَابِ لَا تَشَلِّى [ Colt of Abu-l-Habháb, mayest thou not become unsound , &c., in the fore leg], (S, TA, [in the O, ابى الحَرِثِ, for ابى الحٰرِثِ,]) the last word is thus [for لا تَشْلَلْ] on account of the rhyme: (S, O, TA:) [for] the next hemistich is بَارَكَ فِيكَ ا@للّٰهُ مِنْ ذِى أَلِّ [ God bless thee as one possessing fleetness, or swiftness ]; (O, TA;) ذى الّ in this instance meaning ذى سُرْعَةٍ.

(Msb.) And مَرَّ فُلَانٌ يَشُلُّهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ Such a one passed along urging them on, and driving them, with the sword. (S.) [See also 4. ― -b2- Hence,] الصُّبْحُ يَشُلُّ الظَّلَامَ (tropical:) The dawn drives away the darkness. (TA.) ― -b3- And شَلَّتِ العَيْنُ دَمْعَهَا (assumed tropical:) The eye sent forth [or shed ] its tears: (Lh, K:) like شَنَّتْهُ: (Lh, TA:) asserted by Yaa- koob to be formed by substitution [of ل for ن].

(O, TA.) ― -b5- شَلَلْتُ الثَّوْبَ, (S, O, Msb, TA,) inf. n. شَلٌّ, (O,) I sewed the garment, or piece of cloth, (S, O, Msb, TA,) slightly; (S, O, TA; [omitted, probably by inadvertence, in my copy of the Msb;]) [previously to the second sewing termed الكَفُّ;] strangely omitted in the K: ↓ شِلَالَةٌ is [app. a subst., not an inf. n., signifying The act, or art, of so sewing; ] the contr. of كِفَافَةٌ. (TA.)

4 اشلّ يَمِينَهُ ذ , (S,) or يَدَهُ, (Fr, K,) He (i. e. God, S) made his right hand or arm, (S,) or his hand, or arm, (K,) to become unsound, or vitiated: (S:) or to become dried up, or stiff: or to go [or waste ] away: (K:) or اشلّ اليَدَ He (i. e. God) made the hand or arm to become deprived of the power of motion by an unsound, or a vitiated, state of its عُرُوق [ meaning veins or nerves ]. (Msb.) And اشلّ ا@للّٰه يَدَهُ is said by way of imprecation [as meaning May God render his hand or arm unsound, &c.]. (O.) See also 1, first sentence. -A2- [It is said that] اـِشْلَالٌ signifies The driving away a camel, and a troop or company with the sword: [like شَلٌّ: see 1, latter half:] ― -b2- and The making war. (KL.)

(S.) And انشلّوا مَطْرُودِينَ [ They went driven away ]; referring to a company of people. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] انشلّ الذِّئْبُ فِى الغَنَمِ (assumed tropical:) The wolf made an incursion among the sheep or goats; as also انشنّ: mentioned by Az in art. نشغ. (TA.) ― -b3- And انشلّ السَّيْلُ (assumed tropical:) The torrent began to be impelled, before its becoming vehement: (Sh, O, K:) and so انسلّ.
