Full Definition
شُقَاقٌ
A cracking in several places, (تَشَقُّقٌ, S, K,) or cracks, or a certain disease occasioning cracks, in the pasterns of horses or the like, and in their hoofs, and sometimes rising to their shanks: so says Yaakoob: and, accord. to Lth, and Az, a cracking in several places (تَشَقُّقٌ) of the skin, from cold or some other cause, in the hands or arms, and the face: or it signifies also any crack, or slit, in the skin, from disease: As says that it is in the hand or arm, and the foot or leg, of a human being, and in the fore leg and kind leg of an animal: but this is inconsistent with what is said by Yaakoob [as stated voce شَقٌّ, first sentence]. See also أَسْعَدُ: and شَرَجٌ.
