Full Definition
شَكِّىٌّ
, or شُكِّىٌّ, with damm to the ش, is mentioned in art. شك [q. v.], and J has committed a mistake in mentioning it here, as Sgh has observed: [accord. to F, it seems to be a rel. n. applied to a bit, or bridle; for it is said to be so applied in the K, as well as in the O, in art. شك, in which both explain it as meaning Difficult; and also to a skin; for immediately after asserting that J has committed a mistake, F adds,] and شَكَّى, like حَتَّى, is a town in Armenia, whence [are brought] bits, or bridles, (لُجُم,) and skins, [and SM adds that they are termed شكّيّة: but what I find J to have stated is as follows:] الشَّكِىُّ, [thus in one of my copies of the S,] or الشُكِى, [thus in the other of those copies,] in relation to weapons, is an arabicized word, and is in Turkish لَش or لَشْ. (S. [But in the JM, this last word is written, as from the S, تشن: it may therefore be correctly لَشْن, or لَشِن, which, though used in Turkish, is a Pers. word, meaning smooth.])
