expl. by Ru-beh to

Msb) towards the direction of his left hand; turning towards him its left side, which is that termed الإِنْسِىُّ:
contr. of بَارِحٌ [
q. v.]: (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee,
L:) the
pl. [of the former] is سَوَانِحُ and سَانِحَاتٌ and [of either] سُنُحٌ: and this last is also employed to signify auspicious and inauspicious gazelles [&c.],
accord. to the different opinions of the Arabs. (
L.) The Arabs [who apply the
epithet in the latter of the two senses first explained] regard the سَانِح as a good omen, and the بَارِح as an evil omen; (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee,
S,
L;) because one cannot shoot at the latter without turning himself: (
S in art. برح:) but some of them hold the reverse of this: (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee,
L:) the people of Nejd hold the سانح to be a good omen; but sometimes a Nejdee adopts the [
contr.] opinion of the Hijázee. (
IB,
TA,) It is said in a
prov., مَنْ لِى بِالسَّانِحِ بَعْدَ البَارِحِ [
expl. in art. برح]. (
S,
K.)
b2: [It is said in
Har p. 671 that السَّانِحُ also signifies المتطيّر المتفاّل, as though meaning The person auguring, or who augurs, evil or good, from birds: but I think that the right reading is المُتَطَيَّرُ بِهِ وَالمُتَفَأَّلُ بِهِ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ, i. e. what is regarded as an evil omen and as a good omen, of birds.]
