حِجَاب [generally meaning the midriff], [here said to be,] accord. to AHeyth, a certain fat that clothes the heart: [J seems to confound the غِلَاف of the heart with its حِجَاب; for after “ the غَلاف of the heart, ” he adds, “ and it is a skin beneath it (دُونَهُ), like the حِجَاب: ”] or the حَبَّة or the سُوَيْدَآء [both generally meaning the core] thereof: or the place of entrance (مَوْلج) of the phlegm: and
شَغْفٌ and
شَغَفٌ signify the same in the two senses, or in the first and second senses: or القَلْب and
signify the same as شَغَافُهُ, accord. to AHeyth: the pl. of the شَغَاف of the heart is شُغُفٌ; which is metaphorically applied in a saying of 'Alee to the place of the fœtus [in the belly].
