[It probably signifies any of the attributes denoted by the epithet أَشْوَهُ, q. v.]) ― -b4- Also, [and app. in this sense likewise an inf. n. of which the verb is شَوِهَ,] The being quick to smite with the [ evil ] eye. (S.) ― -b5- And one says, شَاهَ فُلَانًا, (K,) inf. n. شَوْهٌ, (TA,) He smote such a one with the [ evil ] eye; (K, TA;) as also ↓ اشاههُ: (TA in art. شهو:) and in like manner, مَالَهُ [ his cattle, or property ]: (Lh, TA:) or شَوْهٌ signifies the smiting vehemently therewith. (TA.) And عَلَىَّ ↓ لَا تُشَوِّهْ Smite not thou me with an [ evil ] eye: (K:) or, accord. to Abu-l-Mekárim this means say not, How eloquent art thou! (Az, TA,) or say not, How beautiful art thou! (ISk, S,) and so doing smite me with the [ evil ] eye, or with an [ evil ] eye. (ISk, Az, S, TA.) ↓ تشوّه signifies He practised artifice to smite people with the evil eye. (JK.) And one says, أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ لِيُصِيبَهَا بِالعَيْنِ ↓ هُوَ يَتَشَوَّهُ i. e. He raises his look towards the cattle, or possessions, of the people to smite them with the [ evil ] eye. (TA.)

And شَوَّهْتُ الوُجُوهَ I rendered foul, unseemly, or ugly, the faces. (Msb.) ― -b2- And شَوَّهَ ا@للّٰهُ حُلُوقَكُمْ God rendered, or may God render, wide your throats, or fauces.

شَاةٌ ذ , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally شَاهَةٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) A sheep, or goat; [ each and either, but more commonly the former; see an instance voce صُوفٌ;] i. e. one of what are termed غَنَم; (S, * Msb, * K;) applied to the male and to the female; (S, Msb, K;) so that one says of the male, هٰذَا شَاةٌ, (Msb,) which is said by Kh to be like the phrase هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّى; (Sb, TA;) and of the female, هٰذِهِ شَاةٌ; and شَاةٌ ذَكَرٌ and شَاةٌ أُنْثَى: (Msb:) or it may be [ one ] of sheep, and of goats, and of gazelles or antelopes, and of the bovine kind [app. of the wild bovine kind i. e. of bovine antelopes ], and of ostriches, and of wild asses; (K;) it is applied to a wild bull by Tarafeh, in his saying, كَسَامِعَتَىْ شَاةٍ بِحَوْمَلَ مُفْرَدِ (S) i. e. Like the two ears of a wild bull, in Howmal, solitary; the poet likening thereto the ears of a she-camel in respect of sharpness and erectness; (EM p. 76;) and likewise by Lebeed, and by El-Farezdak: (IB, TA:) and it is also applied to [ a wild cow; (though said in the K in art. شوى to signify the wild bull, specially the male; ) and hence, as being likened thereto,] (tropical:) a woman; (K, TA;) thus by El-Aashà; and thus also by Antarah, in his saying, يَا شَاةَ مَا قَنَصٍ لِمَنْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ حَرُمَتْ عَلَىَّ وَلَيْتَهَا لَمْ تَحْرُمِ (TA) O شاة [i. e. wild cow ] of the chase (ما being redundant) for him to whom she is lawful: she has become forbidden to me, and would that she were not forbidden: (EM p. 246:) pl. ↓ شَاآءٌ, (S, Msb, K,) originally شَاهٌ, (K,) used when they are many in number, (S,) [but this is properly termed a coll. gen. n.,] and شِيَاهٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) with ه, which is used of a number from three to ten [inclusive], for more than which it is with ت [meaning ة, i. e. شَاةٌ, agreeably with a general rule], (S,) and شِوَاهٌ, [the original of شِيَاهٌ,] (K,) and ↓ شَوِىٌّ, (S, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, شَوًى,]) which is pl. of شَاآءٌ, (S, TA,) or rather a quasi-pl. n., originally شَوِيهٌ, the ه being changed into ى like as it is in ذِى for ذِهْ, (TA,) and أَشَاوِهُ, (K,) and ↓ شَيْهٌ, (so in copies of the K, [in the TA said to be like عِنَبٌ, which is a mistake, (perhaps for عَيْنٌ,) for it is there said to be a quasi-pl. n., which could not be said if it were شِيَهٌ,]) and ↓ شِيهٌ, (CK, [but this, which is another quasi-pl. n., is not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA,]) and ↓ شَيِّهٌ, (K,) originally شَيْوِهٌ, but this, also, is a quasi-pl. n., (TA,) and ↓ شِيَةٌ also is syn. with شَاآءٌ: (IAar, K in art. شوى:) it has not a pl. formed with ا and ت, [i. e. it has not for a pl. شَااآتٌ,] whether it be used as a gen. n. or as a proper name: (TA:) the dim. is ↓ شُوَيْهَةٌ. (S, Msb.) The sing. is also used in the sense of the pl., in the saying فُلَانٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّاةِ وَالبَعِيرِ [ Such a one is possessor of a large number of sheep or goats, and of camels ], because the article ال denotes the genus. (S.) And it is said in a trad. فَأَمَرَ لَهَا بِشِيَاهِ غَنَمٍ [ And he ordered that sheep or goats should be given to her ]: شياه being prefixed to غنم, governing it in the gen. case, for the sake of distinction; because the Arabs [sometimes] call an animal of the wild bovine kind شاة. (IAth, TA.) ― -b2- الشَّاةُ is also the name of (assumed tropical:) Certain small stars (K in art. شوى) between القرحه [or الفرجة, thus in the work of Kzw, in his descr. of Cepheus, and there said to be the star in the breast of Cepheus, ] and الجَدْىُ [i. e. the pole-star ]; (TA in that art.;) [the same that are described by Kzw as certain small stars, called by the Arabs الأَغْنَامُ, between the legs of Cepheus and the star الجَدْىُ.]
