Root: شيح
Full Definition
مَشْيُوحَآءُ
and
مَشِيحَى A state of haste: or a state of confusion: the latter meaning mentioned in the L: you say, هُمْ فِى مَشْيُوحَآءَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ and فى مَشِيحَى من امرهم They are in a state of haste in respect of their affair: or in a state of confusion in their affair: as having the latter meaning, Ibn-Málik says that it is مَشِيجَآء, with ج and medd, of the measure فَعِيلَآء, not مَفْعِلَآء; but this requires consideration: Ibn-Umm-Málik and others, following AHei, say that
القَوْمُ فِى مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ means the people, or party, are in a state of striving, labour, toil, or exertion, and determination, or resolution, in respect of their affair.
def.2 مَشْيُوحَآءُ also signifies A land that produces the plant called شِيح; and so مَشْيُوحَى : or it signifies many plants of the kind so called: thus in the T, on the authority of As and A 'Obeyd, and so says AHn, as is stated [in the O and] in the R; AHn saying further that it is like مَشْيُوخَآء meaning a company of شُيُوخ [or elderly men], and مَعْيُورَآء meaning a herd of عُيُور [or asses], &c.; [so that it is a quasi-pl. n.;] but this is disallowed by El-Mufaddal Ibn-Selemeh.
