contr. meanings: (
K:) one says, [
app. of a horse,] شَوِهَتْ عُنُقُهُ His neck was long [&c.]: and his neck was short: (
TK:) or شَوَهٌ said of the neck [of a horse] signifies the being extended: and said of the شِدْق [or side of the mouth], the being wide, (

شَاةٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K, &c.,) originally شَاهَةٌ, (
S,
Msb,
TA,) A sheep, or goat; [each and either, but more commonly the former; see an instance
voce صُوفٌ;] i. e. one of what are termed غَنَم; (
S, *
Msb, *
K;) applied to the male and to the female; (
S,
Msb,
K;) so that one says of the male, هٰذَا شَاةٌ, (
Msb,) which is said by
Kh to be like the phrase هٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّى; (
Sb,
TA;) and of the female, هٰذِهِ شَاةٌ; and شَاةٌ ذَكَرٌ and شَاةٌ أُنْثَى: (
Msb:) or it may be [one] of sheep, and of goats, and of gazelles or antelopes, and of the bovine kind [
app. of the wild bovine kind i. e. of bovine antelopes], and of ostriches, and of wild asses; (
K;) it is applied to a wild bull by Tarafeh, in his saying, كَسَامِعَتَىْ شَاةٍ بِحَوْمَلَ مُفْرَدِ (
S) i. e. Like the two ears of a wild bull, in Howmal, solitary; the poet likening thereto the ears of a she-camel in respect of sharpness and erectness; (
EM p. 76;) and likewise by Lebeed, and by El-Farezdak: (
IB,
TA:) and it is also applied to [a wild cow; (though said in the
K in art. شوى to signify the wild bull, specially the male;) and hence, as being likened thereto,] (
tropical:) a woman; (
K,
TA;) thus by El-Aashà; and thus also by Antarah, in his saying,
يَا شَاةَ مَا قَنَصٍ لِمَنْ حَلَّتْ لَهُ
حَرُمَتْ عَلَىَّ وَلَيْتَهَا لَمْ تَحْرُمِ (
TA) O شاة [i. e. wild cow] of the chase (ما being redundant) for him to whom she is lawful: she has become forbidden to me, and would that she were not forbidden: (

pl. ↓ شَآءٌ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) originally شَاهٌ, (
K,) used when they are many in number, (
S,) [but this is properly termed a
coll. gen. n.,] and شِيَاهٌ, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) with ه, which is used of a number from three to ten [inclusive], for more than which it is with ت [meaning ة, i. e. شَاةٌ, agreeably with a general rule], (
S,) and شِوَاهٌ, [the original of شِيَاهٌ,] (
K,) and ↓ شَوِىٌّ, (
S,
K,
TA, [in the
CK, erroneously, شَوًى,]) which is
pl. of شَآءٌ, (
S,
TA,) or rather a
quasi-pl. n., originally شَوِيهٌ, the ه being changed into ى like as it is in ذِى for ذِهْ, (
TA,) and أَشَاوِهُ, (
K,) and ↓ شَيْهٌ, (so in copies of the
K, [in the
TA said to be like عِنَبٌ, which is a mistake, (perhaps for عَيْنٌ,) for it is there said to be a
quasi-pl. n., which could not be said if it were شِيَهٌ,]) and ↓ شِيهٌ, (
CK, [but this, which is another
quasi-pl. n., is not in my
MS. copy of the
K nor in the
TA,]) and ↓ شَيِّهٌ, (
K,) originally شَيْوِهٌ, but this, also, is a
quasi-pl. n., (
TA,) and ↓ شِيَةٌ also is
syn. with شَآءٌ: (
IAar,
K in art. شوى:) it has not a
pl. formed with ا and ت, [i. e. it has not for a
pl. شَاآتٌ,] whether it be used as a
gen. n. or as a proper name: (
TA:) the
dim. is ↓ شُوَيْهَةٌ. (
S,
Msb.) The
sing. is also used in the sense of the
pl., in the saying فُلَانٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّاةِ وَالبَعِيرِ [Such a one is possessor of a large number of sheep or goats, and of camels], because the article ال denotes the genus. (
S.) And it is said in a trad.
فَأَمَرَ لَهَا بِشِيَاهِ غَنَمٍ [And he ordered that sheep or goats should be given to her]: شياه being prefixed to غنم, governing it in the
gen. case, for the sake of distinction; because the Arabs [sometimes] call an animal of the wild bovine kind شاة. (
IAth,
TA.)
b2: الشَّاةُ is also the name of (assumed
tropical:) Certain small stars (
K in art. شوى) between القرحه [or الفرجة, thus in the work of
Kzw, in his descr. of Cepheus, and there said to be the star in the breast of Cepheus,] and الجَدْىُ [i. e. the pole-star]; (
TA in that art.;) [the same that are described by
Kzw as certain small stars, called by the Arabs الأَغْنَامُ, between the legs of Cepheus and the star الجَدْىُ.]

subst. meaning Unluckiness, or inauspiciousness, of a woman. (
TA.) شَيْهٌ and شِيهٌ and شِيَةٌ: see شَاةٌ.

K,
TA:) and so بُوهَةٌ: one says, in dispraise, شُوهَةً لَهُ وَبُوهَةً [i. e. بُعْدًا لَهُ,
lit. Remoteness to him! meaning may God alienate him or estrange him, from good, or prosperity! or, curse him!]. (
TA.) شَوِىٌّ, originally شَوِيهٌ: see شَاةٌ.

dim. of شَاةٌ,
q. v. (

Msb.) شَائِهٌ Envying:

S,
K,) and البَصَرِ ↓ شَاهُ, (

شَاهِىٌّ: see the next paragraph.
شَاوِىٌّ and ↓ شَاهِىٌّ A man possessing شَآء [meaning sheep or goats or both]: (
K:) the former is the rel.
n. of شَآءٌ; and the latter, that of شَاةٌ: but used as a proper name of a man, it is ↓ شَائِىٌّ, and, if you will, شَاوِىٌّ. (
S,
TA. *) شَيِّهٌ: see the next paragraph:

TA in art. شزر.)
b3: The
fem. is also applied to a mare, (
JK,
T,

K,) as an
epithet of commendation, but not the
masc. to a horse, meaning, it is said, Wide in the شِدْقَانِ [or two sides of the mouth]: (
S:) or long in the head, and wide in the nostrils: (
JK:) or tall, and such as excites admiration and approval by her beauty or excellence: (
K, *
TA:) or exceedingly wide in the شِدْقَانِ [or two sides of the mouth] and the nostrils: (
