[of the 1st and 2nd and 3rd respectively] شُجَاعَةٌ and شِجَاعَةٌ (S, * Msb, * K) and شَجَاعَةٌ (Msb, * K) and شجاع also [without ة] (Msb) and [of the 4th] ↓ شَجِيعَةٌ (Msb, K) and [of the 5th] ↓ شَجْعَاآءُ and [of the 6th] ↓ شَجِعَةٌ: (K:) pl. masc.

[all of شَجِيعَةٌ, or the last of شَجْعَاآءُ or of شَجِعَةٌ,] شَجَائِعُ and شِجَاعٌ and شُجُعٌ: (Lh, K:) or شُجَاعٌ is [an epithet] peculiar to men: (K, * TA:) AZ says, “ I have heard the Kilábees say, رَجُلٌ شُجَاعٌ, but they do not apply this epithet to a woman: ” (S:) ↓ شَجِعَةٌ and ↓ شَجِيعَةٌ, however, are applied to a woman, and signify bold, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) longtongued, and vehemently clamorous, towards men; (Ibn-'Abbád, TA;) audacious in her speech, (Ibn- 'Abbád, K, [but these two epithets as applied to a woman and signifying “ bold ” &c. are omitted in the CK,]) and in her length of tongue, and vehement clamorousness. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) ― -b2- شُجَاعٌ (S, Msb, K) and ↓ شِجَاعٌ (K) also signify (assumed tropical:) The serpent; (K;) and so does ↓ أَشْجَعُ: (TA:) or (tropical:) the male serpent: (Mgh, K:) or a certain species of serpent, (Sh, S, Msb, K,) as also ↓ أَشْجَعُ, (S,) small, (K,) or slender, and asserted to be the boldest of the serpent-kind: (Sh:) pl. شِجْعَانٌ (Lh, IDrd, K) and شُجْعَانٌ, (IDrd, K,) the former of which is the more common: (IDrd:) the pl. of أَشْجَعُ is أَشَاجِعُ; or, as some say, this is pl. of أَشْجِعَةٌ, which is pl. [of pauc.] of شجاع, signifying the serpent. (TA.) [See also شَجْعَمٌ, above.] ― -b3- Also (tropical:) The serpent called صَفَرٌ, that presents itself in the belly (S, K, * TA) of a man, as the Arabs assert, when he has been long hungry: (S, TA:) but As says that شُجَاعُ البَطْنِ signifies (assumed tropical:) vehemence of hunger.

شِجَاعٌ ذ : see شُجَاعٌ, in two places.

شَجِيعٌ ذ ; fem. with ة: see شُجَاعٌ, in three places.

شَاجِعٌ ذ : see شَجْعَةٌ.

أَشْجَعُ ذ ; fem. شَجْعَاآءُ: see شُجَاعٌ, in four places. You say also, لَبُؤَةٌ شَجْعَاآءُ A bold lioness. (TA.) ― -b2- Applied to a man, accord. to some, it signifies, (S,) or it signifies also, (K,) In whom is lightness, or unsteadiness, like what is termed هَوَجٌ, (S, K,) by reason of his strength. (S.) See also شَجِعٌ. ― -b3- Mad; or possessed by a devil: (TA:) Lth says that, applied to a man, it signifies one who is as though there were in him madness, or diabolical possession; but Az says that this is a mistake; for, were this its meaning, the poets would not have used it in praise. (TA, in another part of the art.) ― -b4- Tall: (IDrd, Msb, K:) and so the fem. applied to a woman. (IDrd, Msb.) ― -b5- Bulky; big-bodied; or stout: or, as some say, youthful; or in a state of youthful vigour. (TA.) ― -b6- The lion. (Lth, S, K.) ― -b7- It is said in the K that الأَشْجَعُ also signifies الدَّهْرُ [i. e. Time; or fortune; &c.]; and J says that this is what the poet means by the expression, أَشْجَعُ أَخَّاذٌ: but this cannot be the correct meaning, for the poet, namely El-Aashà, says, بِأَشْجَعَ أَخَّاذٍ عَلَى الدَّهْرِ حُكْمُهُ by الاشجع meaning himself, or some other thing. (TA.) -A2- Also, (S, K,) and اـِشْجَعٌ, (K,) or the latter accord. to some, but this was not known to Abu-l-Ghowth, (S,) sing. of أَشَاجِعُ, [in some copies of the S written أَشَاجِيعُ, but the former, which, as is mentioned in the TA, is found in the handwriting of J, is that which is commonly known,] which signifies [The knuckles nearest to the wrist; this being what is meant by] the bases (أُصُول) of the fingers, which are connected with the tendons of the outer side of the hand: (S, K:) in the T, we find the heads (رُؤُوس) of the fingers, instead of اصول: (TA:) or اشجع in the hand and foot [but see what follows] signifies the tendons extended above the سُلَامَى [here meaning the metacarpal and metatarsal bones ] from the wrist to the bases (أُصُول) of the fingers or toes, which are called أَطْنَابُ الأَصَابِعِ, above the outer side of the hand: or the bone which connects the finger with the wrist; [i. e. the metacarpal bone; ] every finger having to it a bone thus called: he who says that the أَشَاجِع [so here instead of اشجع as above] are the tendons calls those bones the أُسْنَاع. (TA.) Aboo-Bekr is described as عَارِى الأَشَاجِعِ عَنْ مَفَاصِلِ الأَصَابِعِ, meaning Having little flesh upon what are thus termed: or having their tendons apparent. (TA.) [See also رَاجِبَةٌ and بُرْجُمَةٌ.] -A3- أَشْجَعُ مِنْ دِيكٍ [ More courageous than a cock ] is one of the proverbs of the Arabs. (Mgh.)

مُشْجَعٌ ذ , like مُجْمَلٌ, (K, TA,) i. e. having the form of a pass. part. n., (TA,) [in the CK مَشْجَع, like مَحْمَل,] In the utmost state of madness, or diabolical possession: (K:) so says Ibn-Abbád; and hence, accord. to him, شُجَاعٌ [but in what sense he does not say]. (TA.)

مَشْجُوعٌ ذ Overcome, or surpassed, in شَجَاعَة [or courage, &c.]. (K, TA.)

1 شَجِنَ ذ , (S, L, K,) aor. شَجَنَ ; (K;) and شَجُنَ, aor. شَجُنَ ; inf. n.

(L, K.) And شجنت الحَمَامَةُ, [app. both شَجِنَت and شَجُنَت,] inf. n. شُجُونٌ, The pigeon cooed in a wailing and plaintive manner. (L.) [See also شَجَنٌ below.] -A2- شَجَنَهُ, (S, L, K,) [aor. شَجُنَ , accord. to the usual rule of the K,] inf. n. شَجْنٌ and شُجُونٌ, (L, K,) signifies the same as ↓ اشجنهُ, (S, L, K,) i. e.

And مَا شَجَنَكَ عَنَّا What detained, or withheld, thee from us? (L.)

4 اشجنهُ ذ : see the preceding paragraph. -A2- اشجن الكَرْمُ The grape-vine had a branchlet of a bunch of which all the grapes came to maturity. (L, K. [See شِجْنَةٌ.])

5 تَشَجَّنَ see 1, first sentence. -A2- تشجّن الشَّجَرُ The trees were, or became, tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense. (L, K.)

شَجْنٌ ذ (S, L, K [in the CK شَجَنٌ, but expressly said in the S to be بِالتَّسْكِينِ]) A road of a valley; (S, L;) or a road in a valley: or in the upper, or uppermost, part thereof: as also ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ: (K:) pl. of the former شُجُونٌ: (S, L, K:) and of ↓ شَوَاجِنُ: (K:) or ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ signifies a valley in which are many trees; (S, L;) or a place in which are شُجُون, which means tangled trees; (Ham pp. 761-2;) and شَوَاجِنُ is its pl.: (S, L, and Ham p. 762:) or ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ signifies a sort of valley producing good herbage: or, as some say, شَوَاجِنُ signifies the upper, or uppermost, parts of a valley; and its sing. is ↓ شَجَنٌ [thus written in the L in this instance], as ISd mentions on the authority of A'Obeyd, but adding that, as such, it is irregular, and that it is more properly to be regarded as pl. of ↓ شَاجِنَةٌ. (L.) ― -b2- [Hence,] one says, الحَدِيثُ ذُو شُجُونٍ, (S, Meyd, L, K,) شُجُون being pl. of شَجْنٌ, with the ج quiescent; (Meyd;) a prov., (Meyd, L,) meaning (assumed tropical:) The story is involved, or intricate; (S, Meyd, L;) or has several ways [ in which it may be understood ]; (Meyd;) or has several modes, or manners; and objects of aim: (L, K:) applied to a story by which one calls to mind another: (A'Obeyd, Meyd, L:) the first who said it was Dabbeh Ibn-Udd Ibn-Tábikhah: he had two sons, named Saad and So'eyd: and some camels belonging to him ran away by night, so he sent his two sons to seek them; and they separated; and Saad found them and restored them; but So'eyd went on seeking them; and El-Hárith Ibn-Kaab met him; and there were upon the young man two [garments such as are called] burds (بُرْدَانِ), which El-Hárith asked him to give to him, but he refused to comply with his desire; whereupon he slew him, and took his two burds: and Dabbeh, when he saw a dark object in the night, used to say, أَسَعْدٌ أَمْ سُعَيْدٌ [“ Is it Saad or So'eyd? ” (see سَعْدٌ)]; and this saying of his became current as a prov.: some time after this, having gone on pilgrimage, he met El- Hárith Ibn-Kaab at 'Okádh, and saw upon him the two burds of his son So'eyd, and asked him respecting them; and he answered that he had met a young man wearing them, and slain him, and taken them: Dabbeh said, “ With this thy sword? ” and he answered, “ Yes: ” and he said, “ Give it me that I may look at it, for I think it to be sharp: ” and El-Hárith gave it him: and he took it, and shook it, and said, اـِنَّ الحَدِيثَ ذُو شُجُونٍ; and slew him with it: whereupon it was said to him, “ O Dabbeh, in the sacred month? ” and he said, سَبَقَ السَّيْفُ العَذْلَ [“ The sword preceded the censure ”): these three provs. he originated. (Meyd.)

(Ham p. 404.) [See a verse cited voce عَرَضٌ, in which it means A cause of anxiety. ] ― -b2- And The soul's love, or its inclination, or its blamable inclination: (L:) [or] love that is followed by anxiety and grief.

A rájiz says, لِى شَجَنَانِ شَجَنٌ بِنَجْدِ وَشَجَنٌ لِى بِبِلَادِ السِّنْدِ [ I have two wants; a want in Nejd, and I have a want in the country of Es-Sind ]. (S.) -A2- Also An intricately-intermingling branch of a tree; (L, K;) and a شُعْبَة [i. e. branch, or branchlet, or the like, ] of anything; (K;) like ↓ شِجْنَةٌ and ↓ شُجْنَةٌ and ↓ شَجْنَةٌ (L, K) in the former sense: (L: [accord. to the K, app., in the latter sense:]) or, accord. to IAar, one says ↓ شُجْنَةٌ and ↓ شُجْنٌ meaning a branch of a tree, [or the latter app. means branches, for it seems to be a coll. gen. n.,] and ↓ شِجْنَةٌ and ↓ شِجْنٌ, and [the pl. of ↓ شُجْنَةٌ is] شُجْنَاتٌ and شُجُنَاتٌ: (L:) or, accord. to J, (L,) ↓ شِجْنَةٌ and ↓ شُجْنَةٌ signify roots of trees intricately intermingling: (S, L:) [but] the primary signification of ↓ شِجْنَةٌ and ↓ شُجْنَةٌ is a branchlet ( a شُعْبَة of a غُصْن) of a tree: (L:) or ↓ شِجْنَةٌ signifies tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense, trees. (Msb.) ― -b2- See also شِجْنَةٌ. ― -b3- And see شَجْنٌ. ― -b4- Also, (K,) or شجنة, (L, [thus written without any syll. signs, perhaps fem. of شَجَنٌ, i. e. شَجَنَةٌ, but it seems to be indicated by the context in the L that it is ↓ شُجْنَةٌ,]) A she-camel compact in make, of which the several parts are interknit, one with another, (L, K, *) like the parts of a tree.

And it is said in a trad., الرَّحِمُ شِجْنَةٌ مِنَ ا@للّٰهِ i. e. (tropical:) الرَّحِمُ is derived from الرَّحْمٰن: (S, L: [see رَحِمٌ:]) or, accord. to AO, (L,) the meaning is, [الرَّحِم is ] relationship, from God, closely, or intimately, connected, like the roots of trees. (S, L.) ― -b4- Also A crack, or cleft, in a mountain. (Lh, L, K.)

شَجَنَةٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph.

شَاجِنٌ ذ Grieving, mourning, or lamenting; or sorrowful, sad, or unhappy; (S, L;) and anxious. (L.) -A2- See also an ex. of its fem., with ة, voce شَجُونُ.

شَاجِنَةٌ ذ [as a subst.]; pl. شَوَاجِنُ: see شَجْنٌ, in five places.

(TA.) ― -b3- Also, and ↓ اشجاهُ, (assumed tropical:) It caused him to be mirthful, (Ks, K, TA,) and excited him. (Ks, TA.) Thus each of these verbs has two contr. significations. (K.)

[properly thus termed]. (Har p. 33.) ― -b2- See also the next paragraph.

شَجْوٌ ذ (assumed tropical:) Anxiety, or disquietude of mind; and grief, mourning, lamentation, sorrow, sadness, or unhappiness; (S;) [and] so ↓ شَجًا: thus termed because a man is choked thereby. (Har p. 33.) ― -b2- And (assumed tropical:) A want; an object of want. (Az, K, TA.) One says, بَكَى فُلَانٌ شَجْوَهُ [app. meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one wept for his object of want ]: and دَعَتِ الحَمَامَةُ شَجْوَهَا [app. (assumed tropical:) The pigeon called for its object of want ]. (TA.)

شَجٍ ذ (assumed tropical:) Grieving, mourning, or lamenting; or sorrowing, sad, or unhappy; applied to a man; (S, Msb;) and شَجِيَةٌ, of the measure فَعِلَةٌ, applied to a woman: one says, وَيْلٌ لِلشَّجِى مِنَ الخَلِىِّ [mentioned and expl. voce خَالٍ, in art. خلو, where each of these epithets is written with teshdeed to the ى; and likewise in another saying there mentioned]: (S:) or, in this saying, (TA,) it signifies occupied [ by anxiety or grief ]; (K, TA; [in the CK, الشَّجا is erroneously put for الشَّجِى;]) and خَلِىّ means “ free [therefrom]: ” so says AZ: and in this instance الشَّجِى may mean occupied by a bone choking, or obstructing, his throat, or fauces, or by anxiety, and not having found a way of escape therefrom; or by his opponent, or adversary, whom he has been unable to withstand: (TA:) and sometimes one says ↓ شَجِىٌّ, like as one says حَزِنٌ and حَزِينٌ; though this is rare; (Msb;) it is mentioned in the 'Eyn; but شَجٍ is more known; and is said by Az to be the chaste form: (TA:) Mbr says, the ى of الخلى is with teshdeed, and the ى of الشَّجِى is without teshdeed, (S,) and sometimes this ى is with teshdeed in poetry; (S, K;) but if you make it to be from شَجَاهُ, it is ↓ شَجِىٌّ only, syn. with مَشْجُوٌّ. [i. e. grieved, &c.]; (S;) and so it is said to be by Az and Z: and Az adds, the second way of accounting for it is, that they often lengthen فَعِلٌ with a ى, saying, فُلَانٌ قَمِنٌ لِكَذَا and قَمِينٌ, and سَمِجٌ and سَمِيجٌ, and كَرٍ and كَرِىٌّ: and the third way is, that they assimilated one word in measure to another, as in الغَدَايَا وَالعَشَايَا, the [proper] pl. of غَدَاةٌ being only غَدَوَاتٌ. (TA.)

شَجِىٌّ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.
