Full Definition

شُرَاعِىٌّ , as an epithet applied to A spear-head and a spear, of Shuráa, which was the name of a certain man who made spear-heads and spears, as they assert: but IAar says that it may be a reg. rel. n. from شُرَاعٌ, or an irreg. rel. n. from some other name of which the radical latters are شرع: and [SM says also that,] applied to a spear, it signifies long: or شِرَاعِىٌّ , thus applied, has this meaning, a rel. n. [from شِرَاعٌ]. شُرَاعِيَّةٌ and [in the CK without teshdeed], applied to a she-camel, signify Long-necked; thus expl. by ISh: but Az thinks the latter to be the more probably correct; the neck being likened to the شِرَاع of the ship or boat, because of the height thereof.
