اشاحIV
, Verbal.Noun إِشَاحَةٌ, He was cautious, or in fear, مِنْهُ [of it], i. e. a thing, or an affair, and عَلَى حَاجَتِهِ [for the thing that he wanted]; as also
, inf. مُشَايَحَةٌ and شِيَاحٌ; and
شَاحَ : or he was cautious and in fear, endeavouring to repel death.
2 But in the dial. of Hudheyl, He strove, laboured, toiled, or exerted himself, فِى أَمْرٍ [in an affair]; and so .
3 And He continued journeying, or going on.
4 اشاح بِوَجْهِهِ He turned away his face, from a [person or] thing, or from the heat of fire, or a hot odour, and from something hurtful: or he exerted himself in aversion or turning away. One says, كَلَّمْتُهُ فَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ I spoke to him, and he turned away his face.
5 اشاح also signifies He advanced, or came forward; syn. أَقْبَلَ. [Thus it has two contr. meanings. See also the part. n., مُشِيحٌ.]
6 And He defended what was behind his back. [See, again, the part. n.]
7 اشاح بِذَنَبِهِ, said of a horse, He let his tail hang down loosely. F, in the K, following Az and Sgh, says that this is a mistranscription of the verb, for اساح; but his assertion requires proof. [See the latter verb, in art. سيح.]
def.2 اشاحت الأَرْضُ The land produced the plant called شِيح.
