Parallel reading

ولهذا قضينا نحن أن قلب الهمزة واوا في شنوة من قولهم أزد شنوة بدل لا قياس

And for this reason, we have ruled that the inversion of the hamza to a waw in 'Shanuwah' from their saying 'Azd Shanuwah' is a substitution, not a regular derivation.

فإنه لو كان تخفيفا قياسيا لم يثبت في النسب واوا

For if it were a regular derivation, the waw would not have been established in the attribution.

ولولا اعتقادنا أنه بدل لما أفردنا له بابا ولوسعته ترجمة شنأ في حرف الهمزة

And were it not for our belief that it is a substitution, we would not have dedicated a chapter to it and would have expanded the entry 'shana' in the letter hamza.

وحكى اللحياني: رجل مشني ومشنو أي مبغض

And Al-Lihyani narrated: 'A man mashni and mashnu, meaning disliked.'

لغة في مشنوء

A variant pronunciation for mashnu'.

ألا يا غراب البين مم تصيح؟

O crow of separation, from whom do you cry out?

فصوتك مشنو إلي قبيح

Your voice is detested by me, ugly.

فمشني يدل على أنه لم يرد في مشنو الهمز بل قد ألحقه بمرضو ومرضي ومدعو ومدعي

So 'mashni' indicates that the hamza was not intended in 'mashnu', but rather it has been attached to 'marḍu' and 'marḍi', and 'mad'u' and 'muda'i'.
