1 سَمَكَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. سُمُوكٌ, It (a thing) rose, or became high or elevated or lofty. (S, K.) b2: And, aor. and inf. n. as above, He ascended. (TA.) One says, اُسْمُكْ فِى الرَّيْمِ Ascend thou the stairs. (S, TA. [See رَيْمٌ.]) A2: and سَمَكَهُ, (S, K,) aor. as above, (TA,) inf. n. سَمْكٌ, He raised, elevated, upraised, or uplifted, it. (S, K.) So in the phrase, سَمَكَ اللّٰهُ السَّمَآءَ [God raised the heaven]. (S.) سَمْكٌ The roof of a house, or chamber: (S, Mgh, * K: *) or the interior uppermost part [i. e. the ceiling] of a house, or chamber; the exterior uppermost part thereof being called صَهْوَةٌ: (Ham p. 725:) or [the height] from the top to the bottom of a house or chamber. (K.) [and hence, The canopy of the heaven or sky: or] the measure of the height of the heaven from the earth: or the thickness thereof, upwards. (Bd in lxxix. 28.) And The stature, or height in a standing posture, or anything: (K:) thus expl. by Lth: one says بِعِيرٌ طَوِيلُ السَّمْكِ [A camel tall of stature]. (TA.) [In the present day, it signifies The extent of anything from top to bottom; its height, depth, and thickness: and is vulgarly pronounced سُمْك.]

سَمَكٌ Fish; syn. حُوتٌ; (K;) a kind of aquatic creatures: [a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. with ة: pl. of the former سِمَاكٌ and سُمُوكٌ. (S, TA.) شَوَى

فِى الحَرِيقِ سَمَكَتَهُ [He broiled his fish in the fire of a burning house] is a post-classical prov. of the people of Baghdád, relating to the concealing, disguising, or cloaking, of a fault, for the purpose of seizing an opportunity; orginating from the fact that the thief used, when he saw the fire of a burning house in a place, to go thither for the purpose of theft; and if it were in his power, he did what he desired; and if he were lighted on, he said, I came to broil a fish. (Mtr, in Har pp. 481-2.) b2: السَّمَكَةُ [is a name of (tropical:) The constellation Pisces; also called السَّمَكَتَانِ;] a certain sign of the Zodiac; (K, TA;) thought by ISd to be so called because it is a watery sign; and also called الحُوتُ. (TA.) سِمَاكٌ A thing with which a thing is raised, elevated, upraised, or uplifted; (K, TA;) whether a wall or a roof: (TA:) pl. سُمُكٌ. (K.) A2: السِّمَاكَانِ is the name of Two bright stars; السِّمَاكُ الأَعْزَلُ and السِّمَاكُ الرَّامِحُ: (S, O, K:) the former is a star [namely a] in Virgo, called by astrologers السُّنْبُلَةُ [or Spica Virginis]; (Kzw;) and is one of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, O, and Kzw in his descr. of the Mansions of the Moon,) the Fourteenth thereof; (Kzw ibid.;) it is one of the أَنْوَآء [pl. of نَوْءٌ, q. v.], and rises aurorally in تِشْرِينُ الأَوَّلُ [October, O. S.; its auroral rising, in Central Arabia, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, began on the 4th of that month]; it is called الا عزل because it has no star [near] before it, like the اعزل that has with him no spear; or, as some say, because, when it rises [aurorally], it is not accompanied by wind nor by cold: (TA:) the latter سِمَاك, i. e. الرَّامِحُ, [thus called for a reason expl. in art. رمح, q. v., is the star Arcturus, and] is not of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, O, TA,) and has not any نَوْء [here meaning supposed influence in bringing rain &c.]; it is towards the north; the former being towards the south; (TA;) and is also called السِّمَاكُ المِرْزَمُ: (Az, TA in art. رمح:) [it is erroneously said that] the سماكان are in the sign of Libra: (TA:) and it is said that they are the two kind legs of Leo (رِجْلَا الأَسَدِ): (S, O, K: *) [for it appears, as I have before observed, (voce ذِرَاعٌ,) that the ancient Arabs, or many of them, extended the figure of Leo (as they did also that of Scorpio) far beyond the limits which we assign to it: and hence,] السماك الا عزل was also called سَاقُ الأَسَدِ [the thigh, or the hind shank, of Leo]. (Kzw in his descr. of Virgo.) The rhyming-proser says, إِذَا طَلَعَ السِّمَاكْ ذَهَبَ العِكَاكْ فَأَصْلِحْ فِنَاكْ وَأَجِدَّ حِذَاكْ فَإِنَّ الشِّتَآءَ قَدْ أَتَاكْ [When السماك rises aurorally, (i. e. السماك الا عزل,) the sultriness has gone, therefore do thou put thy court, or yard, in good condition, and renew thy sandal, for the winter has come to thee: فِنَاك and حِذَاك being contractions of فِنَآءَك and حِذَآءَك, for the sake of the rhyme]. (O, TA.) The نَوْء [here app. meaning the rain consequent upon the auroral setting] of السماك الاعزل [about the 4th of April, O. S. in Central Arabia] is abundant, but disapproved, because it gives growth to the نَشْر [q. v.], which diseases the camels that pasture upon it. (Kzw in his descr. of the Mansions of the Moon.) [The epithet ↓ سِمَاكِىٌّ is applied to the rain above mentioned.] b2: السِّمَاكُ also signifies, (K,) or سِمَاكُ التَّرْقُوَةِ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O,) The upper part of the chest, next to the collar-bone. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) سِمَاكِىٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

سُمَيْكَآءُ i. q. حُسَاسٌ; (S, O, K;) i. e. Certain small fish, which are dried; also called هِفٌّ. (O, TA.) سَمَّاكٌ A fishmonger. (MA.) سَنَامٌ سَامِكٌ A high, (S, TA,) or long and high, and plump, (TA,) camel's hump. (S, TA.) b2: شَرَفُكَ تَامِكٌ وَإِقْبَالُكَ سَامِكٌ (tropical:) [Thy nobility is lofty, and thy good fortune is high]. (A and Ta in art. تمك.) المُسْمَكَاتُ The heavens; (K;) which are seven in number: (TA:) or so ↓ المَسْمُوكَاتُ: (S:) or this is wrong; or it is a dial. var.: (K:) the latter word is used by the vulgar, but is correct. (TA.) مِسْمَاكٌ A pole of a [tent such as is called] خِبَآء, (S, K,) which latter is raised thereby. (S.) مَسْمُوكٌ Tall; (IDrd, O, K;) applied to a man. (IDrd, O.) b2: And, applied to a horse, [من الحَبْلِ in the CK being a mistake for مِنَ الخَيْلِ,] (tropical:) Firm (Ibn-'Abbád, Z, O, K, TA) in the [ribs called] جَوَانِح. (Z, TA.) b3: المَسْمُوكَاتُ: see المُسْمَكَاتُ.

بَيْتٌ مُسْتَمِكٌ and ↓ مُنْسَمِكٌ A tall house or tent. (TA.) مُنْسَمِكٌ: see what next precedes.

شهر

1 شَهَرَهُ, (S, A, K,) aor. ـَ (S, K,) inf. n. شَهْرٌ and شُهْرَةٌ; (S;) and ↓ شهّرهُ, (S, A, O, K,) inf. n. تَشْهِيرٌ; (S;) and ↓ اشتهرهُ; (S, K;) He made it apparent, conspicuous, manifest, notorious, notable, commonly known, or public: (S, O, MF:) or [it generally means] he made it apparent, &c., as bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; he exposed it as such; or rendered it notorious in a bad sense, or infamous. (A, K.) You say, شَهَرْتُ الحَدِيثَ, inf. n. as above, I divulged the story, or discourse. (Msb.) And ↓ لِفُلَانٍ فَضِيلَةٌ اشْتَهَرَهَا النَّاسُ [Such a one has an excellent quality which the people have made commonly known]. (S.) And شَهَرْتُهُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ I rendered him conspicuous [or notorious or celebrated or renowned] among the people. (Msb.) And شَهَرْتُ زَيْدًا بِكَذَا and ↓ شهّرته [I rendered Zeyd conspicuous, notorious, celebrated, or renowned, for such a thing]; (Mgh, * Msb;) [but] the latter has an intensive signification: ↓ أَشْهَرْتُهُ, with ا, in the sense of شَهَرْتُهُ, has not been transmitted: (Msb:) or is not of established authority. (Mgh.) One says also, شُهِرَ بِكَذَا, and ↓ اِشْتَهَرَ, [generally, but not always, in a bad sense, meaning] He was rendered, or became, notorious, or infamous, for such a thing: (A:) the latter verb being intrans. as well as trans. (TA.) And [hence one says,] ↓ اِشْتَهَرْتُ فُلَانًا meaning (tropical:) I held such a one in light, or little, estimation, or in contempt, and exposed his vices, faults, or evil qualities or actions. (A.) b2: And شَهَرَ سَيْفَهُ, (S, A, Msb, K,) aor. ـَ (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. شَهْرٌ, (S, Msb,) He drew his sword (S, Msb, TA) from its scabbard: (TA:) or he drew his sword and raised it over the people; (A, K;) as also ↓ شهّرهُ. (K.) 2 شَهَّرَ see above, in three places. [In modern Arabic, شهّر often signifies He paraded an offender as a public example; and it occurs in this sense in the S and TA in art. بلس, &c.: the offender, in this case, is generally mounted upon an ass or a camel, and often with his face towards the animal's tail.]3 شاهرهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُشَاهَرَةٌ (S, K) and شِهَارٌ, (K,) He hired him, or took him as a hired man or hireling, for [or by] the month: (Lh, K:) or he made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the month, or month by month: (TA:) المُشَاهَرَةُ from الشَّهْرُ is like المُعَاوَمَةُ from العَامُ. (S, TA.) 4 أَشْهَرَ see 1.

A2: أَشْهَرْنَا, (S, Msb, * K,) inf. n. إِشْهَارٌ, (Msb,) A month passed (lit. came) over us. (S, Msb, * K.) And اشهر الصَّبِىُّ [The child became a month old; or] a month passed (lit. came) over the child: similar to أَحْوَلَ, (A,) or to أَحَالَ. (Msb.)

(A, K.) It (a story, or discourse,) became divulged, or public. (Msb.) اشتهر بِكَذَا: see 1.

A2: As a trans. verb: see 1 in three places.

شَهْرٌ The new moon, when it appears: (IF, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) so called because of its conspicuousness. (Mgh, Msb.) This is the original signification. (Mgh.) [See the last sentence of this paragraph.] You say, رَأَيْتُ الشَّهْرَ, meaning I saw the new moon of the month. (Mgh.) Hence it is said in a trad., صُومُوا الشَّهْرَ, meaning Fast ye the first day of the lunar month. (Lh, TA.) And hence the trad., إِنَّمَا الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ, meaning The utility of watching for the new moon is on the nine and twentieth night. (L, TA.) [Or the meaning is, that the lunar month is a period of nine and twenty nights.] b2: Also The moon: or the moon when conspicuous, and near to being full. (K.) b3: And [A lunar month;] a certain well-known number of days: so called because made manifest by the moon: (ISd, K:) an arabicized word; or, as some say, Arabic; (Msb;) and so called because of its being manifest: (Msb, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَشْهُرٌ (Msb, K) and [of mult.] شُهُورٌ. (S, Msb, K.) The following are the modern names of the months: 1. المُحَرَّمُ [to which the epithet الحَرَامُ is often added]: 2. صَفَرٌ [to which the epithet الخَيْرُ is often added]: 3. رَبِيعٌ الأَوَّلُ 4. رَبِيعٌ الآخِرُ [or الثَّانِى] 5. جُمَادَى الأُولَى 6. جُمَادَى الآخِرَةُ [or الثَّانِيَةُ] 7. رَجَبٌ [to which is often added the epithet الأَصَمُّ, and that of الفَرْدُ] 8. شَعْبَانُ [to which we often find the epithet المُعَظَّمُ added, and sometimes that of الشَّرِيفُ] 9. رَمَضَانُ [to which the epithet المُبَارَكُ is appropriated]: 10. شَوَّالٌ [to which the epithet المُكَرَّمُ is frequently added]: 11. ذُو القَعْدَةِ: and 12. ذُو الحِجَّةِ: [see the second of the two tables in p. 1254:] and the following are the names by which they were called by the tribe of 'Ád, agreeably with the foregoing numeration: 1. مُؤْتَمِرٌ: 2. نَاجِرٌ: 3. خَوَّانٌ: 4. بُصَّانٌ [q. v.]: 5. رُبَّى: 6. حَنِينٌ: 7. الأَصَمُّ: 8. عَاذِلٌ: 9. نَاتِقٌ: 10. وَعْلٌ: 11. وَرْنَةُ: and 12. بُرَكٌ [or بُرَكُ?]. (Ibn-El-Kelbee, in TA, voce مُؤْتَمِرٌ. [But authors differ respecting some of these names, as will be seen in other articles.]) أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُومَاتٌ, said, in the Kur [ii. 193], to be the period of the pilgrimage, for by الحَجُّ, which immediately precedes, is meant وَقْتُ الحَجِّ, (Mgh, Msb,) or زَمَانُ الحَجِّ, (Msb,) applies to Showwál and Dhul-Kaadeh and ten days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, (Mgh, Msb,) accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh (Mgh) and most of the learned, part of Dhu-l-Hijjeh being called a month tropically, as is often done by the Arabs in similar cases, relating to time; for ex. when they say, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ, the period of separation having been a day and a part of a day: (Msb:) or [and] nine days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh with the night preceding the day of the sacrifice, accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee: (Mgh:) or [and] all Dhu-l-Hijjeh, accord. to Málik: (Mgh, Msb:) [in these two explanations the two months next preceding being meant to be included:] or Showwál and Dhu-l- Kaadeh and Dhu-l-Hijjeh and Moharram, accord. to Aboo-'Amr Esh-Shaabee. (Msb.) b4: Also (assumed tropical:) A learned man: (O, K:) [because of his celebrity:] pl. شُهُورٌ. (O, TA.) b5: [And accord. to the K, it signifies also The like of a nail-paring: but this is app. a mistake, perhaps originating from a mutilated transcript of what here follows:] a poet says, describing camels, أَبْدَأْنَ مِنْ نَجْدٍ عَلَى ثِقَةٍ وَالشَّهْرُ مِثْلُ قُلَامَةِ الظُّفْرِ [They went forth from Nejd in a state of confidence, the new moon being like the nail-paring]. (O.) شُهْرَةٌ a subst. from الاِشْتِهَارُ, (Mgh,) signifying The appearance, conspicuousness, manifestness, notoriousness, notableness, or publicity, of a thing: (S, O, Msb:) or [generally] its appearance, &c., as bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; its notoriousness in a bad sense, or infamousness. (A, K.) b2: Any evil thing that exposes its author to disgrace; any disgraceful, or shameful, thing; a vice, or fault, or the like. (IAar, O, TA.) b3: A dress of the most excellent or superb kind; and one of the vilest or meanest kind: both of which are forbidden. (Mgh.) b4: [It is also used in the sense of مَشْهُورٌ.] One says, جَعَلَهُ شُهْرَةً (tropical:) [He rendered him notorious, either in a bad or in a good sense]. (A.) And صَارَ شُهْرَةً, (K in art. دول,) i. e. مَشْهُورًا (assumed tropical:) [He became notorious, &c.]; said of a man. (TK in that art.) بِرْذَوْنٌ شِهْرِىٌّ A برذون [or hackney] between the رَمَكَة [or mare of mean breed] and the horse of generous breed: one says, لَمْ يَرْكَبِ الشِّهْرِيَّةَ and الشَّهَارِىَ [He did not ride hackneys of the sort above mentioned]: (A:) or شِهْرِيَّةٌ signifies بَرَاذِين [or hackneys]; and its pl. is شَهَارٍ: (Mgh:) or a sort of بَرَاذِين [or hackneys]; (Lth, O, K;) a horse of which the dam is Arabian but not the sire. (Lth, O.) شَهِيرٌ: see مَشْهُورٌ. b2: شَهِيرَةٌ A woman, and a she-ass, broad (O, K) and bulky. (O.) أَشْهَرُ More, and most, apparent, conspicuous, manifest, notorious, &c.; better, and best, known. b2: Hence, الأَشْهَرَانِ The drum and the banner. (Gol., from Meyd.)]

أَشَاهِرُ [in the CK اَشاهِيرُ] The whiteness of the narcissus. (K, TA.) مُشْهِرٌ A child a month old. (O, TA.) مُشَهَّرٌ: see the following paragraph.

مَشْهُورٌ Of known place or station; (K;) well known; well spoken of; celebrated; held in repute; reputable; notable; eminent; (O, K, TA;) applied to a man; (O, TA;) as also ↓ شَهِيرٌ, (O, K, TA,) and [in an intensive sense] ↓ مُشَهَّرٌ. (TA.) [And Anything apparent, conspicuous, manifest, notorious, notable, commonly known, or public: lit. rendered apparent &c. Applied to a word or phrase or meaning, Commonly known or obtaining or received; well known; or held in repute. Hence عَلَى المَشْهُورِ According to common, or well-known, usage; or according to common repute.]
