Full Definition
2 one says شَكَّ الأَمْرُ, Present.T يَشُكُّ [contr. to analogy in the case of an intrans. verb of this class], Verbal.Noun شَكٌّ, The thing, or case, or affair, was, or became, dubious, or confused:
3 and شَكَّ فِيهِ, first pers. شَكَكْتُ فيه, Present.T as above, and so the Verbal.Noun, He doubted, wavered or vacillated in opinion, or was uncertain, respecting it; (MA, Msb, and so accord. to explanations of شَكٌّ [q. v. infrà] in the S and Msb and K &c.;) syn. اِرْتَابَ; and signifies the same.
4 شَكَّ عَلَىَّ الأَمْرُ means شَقَّ [i. e. The case, or affair, was difficult, hard, distressing, &c., to me]: or, as some say, [was such that] I doubted (شَكَكْتُ) respecting it.
def.2 شَكَّ said of a camel, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, He limped, or halted; or had a slight lameness, of his hind leg: or his arm stuck to his side, and he had a slight lameness in consequence thereof: and , likewise said of a camel, he had a slight lameness; like شَكَّ.
2 شَكٌّ also signifies The cleaving or sticking [of a thing to another thing]. So in a verse of Aboo-Dahbal El-Jumahee cited voce يَلَبٌ. And one says, شَكَّتِ الرَّحِمُ The relationship was, or became, closely united. (O, TA. [See رَحِمٌ شَاكَّةٌ, voce شَاكٌّ.])
3 شَكَّ فِى السِّلَاحِ, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, He put on [or around him,] or attired himself with, the arms, or weapons, completely, not leaving any of them; [as though] he entered amid them.
def.3 شَكَكْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, (S, O, Msb, in the K شَكَّهُ,) and بِالسَّهْمِ, and the like, Present.T as above, and so the Verbal.Noun, I pierced, or transpierced, him, or it, (طَعَنْتُهُ, Msb, or خَزَقْتُهُ, O, and in like manner in the TA, but in my copies of the S خَرَقْتُهُ [meaning I made a hole in him, or it], and thus in one place in the TA, and اِنْتَظَمْتُهُ, S O, and in like manner in the K,) with the spear, and with the arrow, &c.: but IDrd says that, accord. to some, شَكٌّ is only by the conjoining two things with an arrow or a spear: [thus,] فَشَكَّ رِجْلَهُ مَعَ رِكَابِهِ means And he clave and transpierced his leg, or foot, together with his stirrup.
2 [Hence,] شَكَكْتُ إِلَيْهِ البِلَادَ I traversed, or crossed, or cut through, the countries, or districts, to him.
3 And شُكَّ عَلَيِه الثَّوْبُ The garment was put [or drawn] together upon him, and fastened with a thorn or a wooden pin: or was let down, or made to hang down, upon him.
4 شَكُّوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They placed their tents in one row, or series, in one regular order, near together.
5 Hence; شَكُّوا الأَرْحَامَ They made the relationships to be closely connected. And شُكَّ He was made, or asserted, to be connected with the lineage of another.
6 And شَكَكْتُهُ said of anything means I drew and joined, or adjoined, it [to another thing]. [And I infixed it in, or thrust it into, another thing.]
7 مَا شَكَّ كَفِى خَلِيلُهَا, [or, more probably, ما شُكَّ,] a phrase in a verse of El-Farezdak,] in which it forms an apodosis,] means مَا قَارَنَ [i. e., app., Its friend (the sword, or the spear, both of which are meanings of الخَلِيل,) would not be conjoined with my hand].
8 شَكَّ الثَّوْبَ He made the stitch-holes far apart [in sewing the garment, or piece of cloth]. [Thus the verb has two contr. meanings.]
def.4 شَكِكْتُ إِلَيْهِ, with kesr, and شَكِكْتُهُ, (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, and so in the K accord. to the TA, as also in the TK, in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K شَكَكْتُهُ and اليه,) I inclined to him, or it; or trusted to, or relied upon, him, or it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; or leaned, rested, or relied, upon him, or it; syn. رَكَنْتُ.
