[In the place of سَدُّالشَّىْءِ, the explanation of the inf. n. accord. to the reading in the TA, we find in the CK شَدُّ الشَّىْءِ: and it seems that شَدَّهُ is a correct meaning of سَكَّهُ; for it is said that] from مَسْكُوكٌ as signifying مَشْدُودٌ is the post-classical phrase سَكُّ الأَبْوَابِ [i. e. The making fast of doors]. (TA.) [In the present day, سَكَّ البَابَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, means He locked, and he bolted, the door.] b2: And سَكَّهُ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, K, TA,) He clamped it (ضَبَّبَهُ) with iron; namely, a door, (S, K, TA,) and wood. (TA.) A2: Also سَكَّهُ, aor. as above, (S, TA,) and so the inf. n., (K, TA,) He cut off his ears. (S, K, * TA.) A3: سَكَّ بِمَا فِى بَطْنِهِ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth what was in his belly; (K, * TA;) muted, or dunged; (TA;) said of an ostrich: (K, TA:) and so سَجَّ. (TA.) And سَكَّ بِسَلْحِهِ, (AA, TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth his excrement, or ordure, (AA, K, TA,) in a thin state; (AA, * K, TA;) as also زَكَّ, (AA, TA,) and هَكَّ. (TA.) And هُوَ يَسُكُّ, inf. n. as above, He voids thin excrement or ordure; (As, S, TA;) as also يَسُجُّ, inf. n. سَجٌّ. (As, TA.) And أَخَذَهُ سَكُّ [He was taken with a looseness of the bowels;] he had thin evacuations of the bowels; expl. by قَعَدَ مَقَاعِدَ رِقَاقًا: and أَخَذَهُ سَكٌّ فِى بَطْنِهِ [signifies the same; or] his bowels became loose; as also سَجٌّ; so says Yaakoob; and he asserts it to be formed by substitution; but which of the two is so formed is unknown. (TA.) b2: سَكَّ فِى الأَرْضِ He went at random in the land, or country, not knowing whither to go, and was perplexed. (Ibn-'Abbád, O. [See also 7.]) b3: One says also, أَيْنَ تَسُكُّ Whither goest thou? (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b4: مَا سَكَّ سَمْعِى مِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ الكَلَامِ The like of that speech has not entered my ear, or ears: and فِى مَسَامِعِى مِثْلُهُ ↓ مَااسْتَكَّ The like of it has not entered my ears. (TA.) A4: سَكَّ, [sec. Pers\., app., سَكُكْتَ,] aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. سُكٌّ, (K, TA,) It (one's nature, or disposition,) was, or became, base, ignoble, mean, or sordid. (K, * TA.) A5: سَكَّ, (Msb, TA,) sec. Pers\.

سَكِكْتَ, (Msb, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, سَكِكْتَ,]) inf. n. سَكَكٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) said of a man, &c., (K,) (assumed tropical:) He was small in the ear, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) with a sticking thereof to the head, and small projection thereof: (K, TA:) or he was short in the ear, with a sticking thereof to the part behind it: (TA:) or he was small in the قُوف [here meaning either the upper part or the helix (in the CK قُوب)] of the ear, and narrow in the ear-hole.

[See also سَكَّ فِى الأَرضَ, above.]) اِنْسِكَاكٌ in the case of the birds called قَطًا means Their going at random, and depressing their breasts, after soaring in their flight and circling in the air. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) 8 استكّ It (a thing) was, or became, closed or closed up, or stopped or stopped up, or repaired, and made firm or strong; quasi pass. of 1 in the first of the senses assigned to it above; syn. اِنْسَدَّ. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] استكّت مَسَامِعُهُ (tropical:) His ears became stopped up, or deaf, (S, Msb, K, *) and narrow [in the aperture].

And استكّت الرِّيَاضُ (assumed tropical:) The meadows became luxuriant and dense [in their herbage]. (As, TA.) A2: See also 1.

but see يَلَبٌ.]

(TA.) b2: And A narrow road: (I'Abbád, O:) or a road stopped up: (K:) or a road narrow and stopped up. (Lh, TA.) b3: See also سَكٌّ. b4: Also The hole of the scorpion, (Ibn-'Abbád, S, O, K,) in the dial. of the BenooAsad; (Ibn-'Abbád, O;) and of the spider, (O, K,) likewise, because of its narrowness. (TA.) A2: Also A sort of perfume, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) prepared from رَامَك [q. v.], (K,) or from musk and رَامَك, (O,) the former being bruised, or pounded, sifted, kneaded with water, and wrung hard, and wiped over with oil of the خِيرِىّ [q. v.] in order that it may not stick to the vessel, and left for a night; then musk is pounded, or powdered, (يُسْحَقُ,) and put into it by degrees, and it is [again] wrung hard, and cut into small, round, flat pieces, and left for two days, after which it is perforated with a large needle, and strung upon a hempen string, and left for a year; and as it becomes old, its odour becomes the more sweet. (K.) A3: Also pl. of أَسَكُّ. (K.) سِكَّةٌ A ploughshare; i. e. the iron thing with which the ground is ploughed; (S, TA;) the iron appertenance of the plough. (K.) Hence the trad., مَا دَخَلَتِ السِّكَّةُ دَارَ قَوْمِ إِلَّا ذَلُّوا [The ploughshare enters not the abode of a people, or party, but they become abased]; meaning, in consequence of the violence and the demands that the agriculturists experience from the ruling power. (TA.) b2: And A die, i. e. an engraved piece of iron, (S, * Msb, K, TA,) having an inscription upon it, (TA,) with which dirhems and deenárs are stamped, (S, * Msb,) or upon which pieces of money (دَرَاهِم) are struck: (K:) pl. سِكَكٌ. (Msb.) b3: And, because stamped therewith, A coined dirhem, and deenár; (TA;) which latter is called [also] ↓ سِكِىٌّ, (O, K, TA,) [in the CK سَكِىّ, but it is] with kesr. (TA.)

Hence their saying, (S,) or the saying of the Prophet, (O,) خَيْرُ المَالِ مُهْرَةٌ مَأْمُورَةٌ أَوْ سِكَّةٌ مَأْبُورَةٌ, (S, in the O سكّة مأبورة او مهرة مأمورة,) meaning [The best of property is] a prolific filly (TA) or a row of palm-trees fecundated: (S, TA:) or, accord. to As, سكّة مأبورة here signifies a ploughshare properly prepared [for ploughing]; and, he says, the meaning is, that the best of property is a brood [of a mare] or seed-produce. (S.) [It has been suggested to me that, if طريقة in the explanation above have the signification here assigned to it, the epithet مصطفّة is redundant; and therefore that طريقة alone may be the proper explanation, and may mean in this case, as it does in many others, a tall palm-tree, or the tallest of palm-trees, or a smooth palm-tree, or a palm-tree the head of which is reached by the hand; and that مصطفّة may have been added in consequence of misunderstanding, and سطر substituted for طريقة for the same reason: but I think it much more probable that the epithet has been added because طريقة is ambiguous; and this is confirmed by what here follows.] b2: Also A زُقَاق [meaning street]: (S, O, * Msb:) or [rather] a wide زُقَاق: (Msb:) or an even road, (K, TA,) [or street,] of such as are termed أَزِقَّة [pl. of زُقَاق]: (TA:) so called because the houses therein form a row or rows [on either side]; (O, TA;) being likened to a سِكَّة of palm-trees: (TA:) [in the present day, often applied to a highway, and to any road:] pl. سِكَكٌ [as above]: (O:) and ↓ سَكَائِكُ is syn. with [سِكَكٌ as meaning] أَزِقَّةٌ. (TA.) b3: [Hence also, app., one says,] اِجْعَلِ الأَمْرَ سِكَّةً وَاحِدَةً (assumed tropical:) Make thou the affair, or case, [uniform, or] one uniform thing. (Fr, TA in art. بأج.) b4: And أَخَذَ الأَمْرَ بِسِكَّتِهِ, (K,) and أَدْرَكَهُ بِسِكَّتِهِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) [He took the thing, and he attained it, in its proper way, or] when it was possible. (K, TA.) b5: And فُلَانٌ صَعْبُ السِكَّةِ (tropical:) Such a one will not remain quiet, or still, or steady, by reason of hastiness of temper. (Ibn-'Abbád, Z, O, TA.) A3: Also The house [or station] of the بَرِيد [or messenger that journeys on a beast of the post, or messengers on beasts of the post: it is likewise called سِكَّةُ البَرِيدِ: see بَرِيدٌ]: and أَصْحَابُ السِّكَكِ, occurring in a letter of 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-El-'Azeez, means the بُرُد [or messengers on beasts of the post] who are stationed there to be sent on affairs of importance. (Mgh.) سِكَّةُ البَرِيدِ is well known [as having the meaning assigned to it above: and also as meaning The space, or distance, between each station of the messengers above mentioned and the station next to it: see, again, بَرِيدٌ]. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) سَكَكٌ inf. n. of سَكَّ, sec. Pers\. سَكِكْتَ. (Msb, TA. [See 1, last sentence but one.]) سُكُكٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned,] Bustards; syn. حُبَارَيَاتٌ. (TA.) سُكَاكٌ The air that is next to the clouds, or to the higher part, (عَنَان,) of the sky; as also ↓ سُكَاكَةٌ: (S, K:) or both signify the air, or atmosphere, between heaven and earth: like لُوحٌ: the pl. of the second is سَكَائِكُ. (TA.) Hence the saying, لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ وَلَو نَزَوَْتَ فِىالسُّكَاكِ, meaning [I will not do that even if thou leap] into the sky. (S.) b2: Also The part, of an arrow, which is the place of the feathers. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) سَكُوكٌ: see سُكٌّ, in two places.

ضَرَبُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ سِكَاكًا [They pitched their tents] in one row: (Th, K:) and said with ش, [i. e.

شِكَاكًا,] accord. to IAar: (TA:) but Th says that it is only with س, deriving it from سِكَّةٌ signifying “a wide زُقَاق.” (TA in art. شك.) سُكَاكَةٌ Small in the ear, (M, K,) or in the ears. (IAar, TA.) [See also أَسَكُّ.] b2: and (assumed tropical:) One who is alone in his opinion, having none to share with him in it, (Az, K, TA,) who acts without caring how his opinion happens to be: pl. سُكَاكَاتٌ: it has no broken pl. (Az, TA.) A2: See also سُكَاكٌ.

سَكَائِكُ pl. of سُكَاكَةٌ as syn. with سُكَاكٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) b2: See also سِكَّةٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph.

سَكِّى: see سَكٌّ سِكِّىٌّ: see سِكَّةٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

A rájiz says, لَيْلَةُ حَكّ ٍلَيْسَ فِيهِا شَكُّ

أَحُكُّ حَتَّى سَاعِدِى مُنْفَكُّ

أَسْهَرَنِى الأُسَيْوِدُ الأَسَكُّ [A night of scratching: there is no doubt respecting it: I scratch so that my fore arm, or my upper arm, (for ساعد is used in both of these senses,) is dislocated: the little black thing without ears having rendered me sleepless]: he means the fleas, using the sing. as a gen. n.

شك

1 شَكَّ is intrans. by itself, and trans. by means of the particle فى: b2: one says شَكَّ الأَمْرُ, aor. ـُ [contr. to analogy in the case of an intrans. verb of this class], inf. n. شَكٌّ, The thing, or case, or affair, was, or became, dubious, or confused: (Msb:) b3: and شَكَّ فِيهِ, (MA, K,) first Pers\.

شَكَكْتُ فيه, (S, Msb,) aor. as above, (JM, PS, &c.,) and so the inf. n., (MA, &c.,) He doubted, wavered or vacillated in opinion, or was uncertain, respecting it; (MA, Msb, and so accord. to explanations of شَكٌّ [q. v. infrà] in the S and Msb and K &c.;) syn. اِرْتَابَ; (Msb;) and ↓ تشكّك signifies the same. (S, K.) b4: شَكَّ عَلَىَّ الأَمْرُ means شَقَّ [i. e. The case, or affair, was difficult, hard, distressing, &c., to me]: (O, TA:) or, as some say, [was such that] I doubted (شَكَكْتُ) respecting it. (TA.) A2: شَكَّ said of a camel, (IAar, S, K,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (S,) He limped, or halted; or had a slight lameness, (IAar, S, TA,) of his hind leg: (IAar, TA:) or his arm stuck to his side, (K, TA,) and he had a slight lameness in consequence thereof: (TA:) and ↓ اشتكّ, likewise said of a camel, he had a slight lameness; (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TA;) like شَكَّ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b2: شَكٌّ also signifies The cleaving or sticking [of a thing to another thing]. (S, O, TA.) So in a verse of Aboo-Dahbal El-Jumahee cited voce يَلَبٌ. (S.) and one says, شَكَّتِ الرَّحِمُ The relationship was, or became, closely united. (O, TA. [See رَحِمٌ شَاكَّةٌ, voce شَاكٌّ.]) b3: شَكَّ فِى السِّلَاحِ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) He put on [or around him,] or attired himself with, the arms, or weapons, completely, not leaving any of them; (TA;) [as though] he entered amid them. (K, TA.) A3: شَكَكْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, (S, O, Msb, in the K شَكَّهُ,) and بِالسَّهْمِ, and the like, aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Msb, TA,) I pierced, or transpierced, him, or it, (طَعَنْتُهُ, Msb, or خَزَقْتُهُ, O, and in like manner in the TA, but in my copies of the S خَرَقْتُهُ [meaning I made a hole in him, or it], and thus in one place in the TA, and اِنْتَظَمْتُهُ, S O, and in like manner in the K,) with the spear, (S, O, Msb, K,) and with the arrow, &c.: (TA:) but IDrd says that, accord. to some, شَكٌّ is only by the conjoining two things with an arrow or a spear: (O, TA:) [thus,] فَشَكَّ رِجْلَهُ مَعَ رِكَابِهِ means And he clave and transpierced his leg, or foot, together with his stirrup. (Mgh.) b2: [Hence,] شَكَكْتُ إِلَيْهِ البِلَادَ I traversed, or crossed, or cut through, the countries, or districts, to him. (O, TA.) b3: And شُكَّ عَلَيِه الثَّوْبُ The garment was put [or drawn] together upon him, and fastened with a thorn or a wooden pin: or was let down, or made to hang down, upon him. (TA.) b4: شَكُّوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They placed their tents in one row, or series, (O, Msb, K,) in one regular order, (T, TA,) near together. (Msb.) b5: Hence; شَكُّوا الأَرْحَامَ They made the relationships to be closely connected. (Msb.) And شُكَّ He was made, or asserted, to be connected with the lineage of another. (IAar, O.) b6: And شَكَكْتُهُ said of anything means I drew and joined, or adjoined, it [to another thing]. (Msb.) [And I infixed it in, or thrust it into, another thing.] b7: مَا شَكَّ كَفِى خَلِيلُهَا, [or, more probably, ما شُكَّ,] a phrase in a verse of El-Farezdak,] in which it forms an apodosis,] means مَا قَارَنَ [i. e., app., Its friend (the sword, or the spear, both of which are meanings of الخَلِيل,) would not be conjoined (or grasped) with my hand]. (TA.) b8: شَكَّ الثَّوْبَ He (the sewer) made the stitch-holes far apart [in sewing the garment, or piece of cloth]. (O, TA.) [Thus the verb has two contr. meanings.]

A4: شَكِكْتُ إِلَيْهِ, with kesr, and شَكِكْتُهُ, (Ibn-'Abbád, O, and so in the K accord. to the TA, as also in the TK, in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K شَكَكْتُهُ and اليه,) I inclined to him, or it; or trusted to, or relied upon, him, or it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; or leaned, rested, or relied, upon him, or it; syn. رَكَنْتُ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) 2 شكّكنى فِيهِ, (S, O, K, *) inf. n. تَشْكِيكٌ, (O,) He made me to doubt, to waver or vacillate in opinion, or to be uncertain, respecting it; (S, K, TA;) he threw me, or made me to fall, into doubt, &c., respecting it. (O.) 5 تَشَكَّّ see the first paragraph.8 إِشْتَكَ3َ see the first paragraph.

شَكٌّ [used as a subst.] signifies Doubt; (Msb; [see 1;]) or the contr. of يَقِينٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) by which explanation is meant a wavering or vacillation in opinion between two things, whether they be equal [in probability] or such that one of them outweighs [therein] the other; or, as the expositors explain its meaning in the Kur x. 94, uncertainty: (Msb:) or a wavering or vacillation in opinion, between two inconsistent things, without making either of them to outweigh the other in the estimation of him who conceives the شَكّ: or, as some say, a pausing, or hesitation, between two extremes that are equal [in probability], without the mind's inclining to either of them: when one of them is made to outweigh, without the other's being rejected, it is ظَنٌّ: (KT:) accord. to Er-Rághib, it is the alternation, or confusedness, of two inconsistent things, in the judgment of a man, and their being equal: this is sometimes because of there being two indications, equal in his judgment, of the two inconsistent things; or of there being no indication thereof: and sometimes it relates to the question whether a thing be, or be not; and sometimes, to the question of what kind it is; and sometimes, to some of its qualities; and sometimes, to the accident that is the cause of its being: it is a species of جَهْل; but is more special than this; for جهل is sometimes the utter nonexistence of knowledge of the two inconsistent things; so that every شكّ is جهل, but every جهل is not شكّ: (TA:) accord. to some, the primary meaning is a state of commotion, or disturbance, of the heart and mind: (Msb:) pl. شُكُوكٌ. (K.) b2: [Hence, يَوْمُ الشَّكِ The day of which one doubts whether it be the last of one month or the first of the next month: and generally, whether it be the last of Shaabán or the first of Ramadán; and to fast on this day is forbidden.]

A2: Also A small crack in a bone. (K.) b2: And A seam, or line of sewing, of a garment. (L in art. صوح.) b3: [And accord. to Freytag, A coat of mail composed of narrow rings: but he names no authority for this.]

A3: And [Arsenic;] a certain medicament, that destroys rats; brought from Khurásán, from the mines of silver; (K, TA;) of two kinds, (TA,) white and yellow; (K, TA;) now known by the name of سَمُّ الفَأْرِ [ratsbane]. (TA.) شِكٌّ A covering (حُلَّة) that is put upon the backs of the two curved extremities of the bow: (K:) so says ISd. (TA.) شَكَّةٌ [an inf. n. of un.] A single piercing through two men on a horse. (Ham p. 271.) شُكَّةٌ i. q. شُقَّةٌ: (O, K:) so in the saying, إِنَّه لَبَعِيدُ الشُّكَّةِ [Verily he is one whose region to which he directs himself is far distant]. (O.) شِكَّةٌ Arms, or weapons, (S, K, TA,) that are worn. (TA.) b2: And A broad piece of wood, (K,) or small broad piece of wood, (S, O,) that is put into the hole (خُرْت) [in which is inserted the end of the handle] of the axe, or adz, and the like, in order to narrow it.

(IAar, TA.) A2: [Also said to be pl. of شَكِيكَةٌ, q. v.]

شِكَاكٌ Tents arranged in a row: (O, K:) one says, ضَرَبُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ شِكَاكًا They pitched their tents in one row: but accord. to Th, it is سِكَاكًا, [q. v.], from السِّكَّةُ. (TA.) شَكُوكٌ (tropical:) A she-camel of which one doubts whether she be fat or not (S, K, TA) in her hump, (K, TA,) by reason of the abundance of her fur, wherefore her hump is felt: (S, TA:) pl. شُكٌّ.
