شَاكٌّ [act. part. n. of شَكَّ].
2 رَجُلٌ شَاكُّ السِّلَاحِ and شَاكٌّ فِى السِّلَاحِ [A man completely armed]: the former expl. as meaning a man wearing a complete set of arms, or weapons: [pl. شُكَّاكٌ, agreeably with analogy:] you say قَوْمٌ شُكَّاكٌ فِى الحَدِيدِ [a people, or party, completely clad in sets of iron arms or weapons]. (S, O. [In one of my copies of the S, بِالحَدِيدِ.]) [Accord. to the TA, one says رَجُلٌ شَكَّاكٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ شُكَّاكٍ: but شَكَّاكٌ seems evidently to be a mistranscription for شَاكٌّ. See also شَاكُ السِّلَاحِ and شَاكِى السِّلَاحِ in arts. شوك and شكو.]
3 رَحِمٌ شَاكَّةٌ Near relationship. (O, TA. [See شَكَّتِ الرَّحِمُ.])
