شِرَاكٌ
The thong, or strap, of the sandal, that is on the face thereof, upon the back [meaning upper side] of the foot, [extending from the thong, or strap, that passes between two of the toes, towards the ankle, and having two arms (its عَضُدَانِ), which are attached to the
أُذُنَانِ , or pass through these and unite behind the foot: see also خِزَامَةٌ, and فَرَصَهُ, whence it appears to mean also each arm, and the two arms, of the
شِرَاك
properly so called: and see سَيْرٌ, where it appears to be used as meaning a thong or strap, absolutely:] the شِرَاك of the sandal is well known: pl. شُرُكٌ, and accord. to the K أَشْرُكٌ also, but this is a mistake. To this is likened, in a trad., the shadow at the base of a wall, on the eastern side thereof, when very small [or narrow], showing that the sun has begun to decline from the meridian.
