شَتِــيتٌ, (
S,
A,

شَتَــاتٌ, as will be shown in what follows;] or ↓
شَتِــيتٌ is
syn. with مُفَرَّقٌ, [which is virtually the same as مُتَفَرِّقٌ,] and مُـ
ـشَتَّــتٌ: (
K:) the
pl. of
شَتٌّ is أَـ
ـشْتَــاتٌ (

sing. noun. (
MF.) One says أَمْرٌ
شَتٌّ i. e. مُتَفَرِّقٌ [A state of affairs dissolved, broken up, &c.]; (
S;) and [so] ↓ أَمْرٌ

شَتَــاتَ, (
K,) in one copy of the
K شَتَــاتَ وَـ
ـشَتَــاتَ; and
MF allows ↓
شُتَــاتَ, like ثُلَاثَ and رُبَاعَ; but there is no apparent reason for the repetition; and
accord. to the
L, the phrase as transmitted from the authorities worthy of confidence is ↓ جَآءَ القَوْمُ
شَتَــاتًا and
شَتَــاتَ i. e. The people, or party, came separated, &c. (
TA.) and ↓ قَوْمٌ
شَتَّــى (
S,
Msb,

شَتَــاتَ and
شَتَــاتًا: see
شَتٌّ, in five places.
شُتَــاتَ: see
شَتٌّ.
شَتِــيتٌ: see
شَتٌّ, in four places. ثَغْرٌ
شَتِــيتٌ means [Fore teeth] separate, or wide-apart, one from another. (
S,
A,
K.) Tarafeh says, مِنْ
شَتِــيتٍ كَأَقَاحِ الرَّمْلِ غُرْ [meaning From separate fore teeth like white chamomiles of the sands: ثَغْرٍ being understood, and غُرْ being for غُرٍّ]. (
TA.)
شَتَّــى: see
شَتٌّ, in seven places:
b2: and see also the last sentence of the following paragraph.
شَتَّــانَ بَيْنُهُمَا, (
K,
TA, but omitted in the
CK,) with damm to the ن of بين, (
TA,) [Different, or distinct, are they two: or widely different or distinct are they two: or how very, or widely, different or distinct, are they two!
lit., the union of them two is severed: or the interval between them two is far-extending, or wide: or how greatly is the union of them two severed! as will be shown below.]
Az quotes, in his “ Nawádir,”
with بين in the
nom. case, the following verse:
شَتَّــانَ بَيْنُهُمَا فِى كُلِّ مَنْزِلَةٍ
هٰذَا يَخَافُ وَهٰذَا يَرْتَجِى أَبَدَا [Different, or widely different, &c., are they two in every predicament: this fears, and this hopes, ever]. (
TA.) The mansoob form, however, is also employed (
K,
TA, but omitted in the
CK) by some of the Arabs in the above-mentioned phrase, so that one says,
شَتَّــانَ بَيْنَهُمَا, مَا being understood, as though one said,
شَتَّ الَّذِى بَيْنَهُمَا [meaning, as above explained, Different, or widely different, &c., are they two:
lit., separated, or disunited, or severed, is that which is between them two: or far-extending, or wide, is the interval between them two: or how greatly separated, or severed, is the union between them two!]: Hassán Ibn-
Thábit says, وَـ
ـشَتَّــانَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِى النَّدَى
وَفِى البَأْسِ وَالخُبْرِ وَالمَنْظَرِ [And different, or widely different, &c., are ye two in munificence and in valour and internal state and external appearance]. (
TA.) In like manner also, [but with ما,] one says,
شَتَّــانَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا, (
A,
Msb,
K,)
accord. to
Th. (
TA.) This [as also, consequently, the same phrase without ما] is disallowed by
As and
IKt:
IB, however, says that this phrase occurs in the verses of chaste Arabs: for instance, Abu-l-Aswad EdDuälee says, وَـ
ـشَتَّــانَ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ إِنَّنِى
عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَسْتَقِيمُ وَتَظْلَعُ [And different, or widely different, &c., are I and thou: for I, in every case, go erect, and thou haltest]: and similar is the saying of El-Ba'eeth, وَـ
ـشَتَّــانَ مَا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ ابْنِ خَالِدٍ
أُمَيَّةَ فِى الرِّزْقِ الَّذِى يَتَقَسَّمُ [And different, or widely different, &c., are I and Ibn-
Khálid Umeiyeh, with respect to the supplies for the wants of life that are divided among mankind]. (
TA.) One says also,
شَتَّــانَ مَا هُمَا; (
S,
A,
K;) and
شَتَّــانَ مَا عَمْرٌو وَأَخُوهُ; (
S,
K;) Different, or distinct, or widely different, &c., are they two; and 'Amr and his brother: [
lit., separate, or distinct, are they two; &c.: or remote are they two, one from the other; &c.:] or how greatly, or widely, are they two separated; &c.! (
S,
A,
K:) here ما is redundant; and in the former phrase, هما is the
agent of
شتّــان; as is the former of the two nouns, to which the latter noun is conjoined, in the latter phrase. (
TA.) ElAashà says,
شَتَّــانَ مَا يَوْمِى عَلَى كُورِهَا وَيَوْمُ حَيَّانَ أَخِىجَابِرِ [Different, or widely different, &c., are (or were) my day upon her (the camel's) saddle, and the day of Heiyán the brother of
Jábir: in which, for يَوْمِى and يَوْمُ, some read نَوْمِى and نَوْمُ]. (
S,
TA.) And in like manner, [but without ما,] one says,
شَتَّــانَ أَخُوهُ وَأَبُوهُ [Different, or widely different, &c., are his brother and his father]. (
TA.) [See also an
ex. in a verse cited
voce دَائِمٌ, in art. دوم.]
b2: شَتَّــانَ, is a preterite
verbal noun, signifying اِفْتَرَقَ, [and so
expl. above,]
accord. to many authorities, [including most of the grammarians,] and therefore they have made it a condition that its
agent must be what denotes more than one: [for ا
شتــرطوا فى فعله التردّد, I read ا
شتــرطوا فى فاعلهُ التعدّد, which agrees with what is afterwards said in the
TA and here; though the former phrase may be so rendered as to convey essentially the same meaning: but this condition is not necessary if we render
شتّــان by بَعُدَ:] (
TA:) or it signifies تَبَاعَدَ and اِفْتَرَقَ; (Ibn-Umm-
Kásim;) or بَعُدَ; [and so
expl. above;] (
S,
A,
Msb,
K;) and is inflected from
شَتُــتَ; (
S,
K;) [which is a verb not used; in the
CK, incorrectly,
شَتَــتَ;] the fet-hah of the ن being the fet-hah originally pertaining to the [final] ت [of the verb]; and this fet-hah shows the word to be inflected from the preterite verb, like as سَرْعَانَ is from سَرُعَ, and وَشْكَانَ from وَشُكَ: (
S:) or,
accord. to Er-Radee, it implies wonder, [like several verbs of the measure فَعُلَ, as shown in remarks on هَيُؤَ &c.,] and means how greatly separated, disunited, or severed, &c.! (
TA:) or,
accord. to El-Marzookee and
Hr and
Zj and some others, it is an
inf. n.: El-Marzookee says, in his
Expos. of the
Fs, that it is an
inf. n. of a verb not used, [namely
شَتُــتَ,] and is
indecl., with fet-hah for its termination, because it is put in the place of a
pret. verb, being equivalent to
شَتَّ, [for
شَتُــتَ,] i. e., تَـ
ـشَتَّــتَ أَوْ تَفَرَّقَ جِدًّا [as
expl. above]: and
Zj says that it is an
inf. n. occupying the place of a verb, of the measure فَعْلَان, and therefore
indecl., because differing thus from others of its class: Aboo-'Othmán El-
Mázinee says that
شَتَّــان and سُبْحَان may receive tenween, whether they be substs, or occupying the place of substs.: upon which
AAF observes that if
شتّــان be in its proper place, it is a
verbal noun, meaning
شَتَّ: if with tenween, it is indeterminate; if without tenween, determinate; and if translated from its office of a
verbal noun, and made a
subst. answering to التَّـ
ـشْتِــيتُ, and determinate, it is similar to سبحان in the phrase سُبْحَانَ مِنْ عَلْقَمَةَ الفَاخِرِ, which is a
subst. answering to التَّنْزِيهُ. (
TA.) The ن in
شَتَّــان (sometimes,
TA) receives kesreh; (
K;) though this is
contr. to what is said by
Az and by
IDrst: its being sometimes with kesreh is mentioned by
Th, on the authority of
Fr: and Er-Radee seems to infer that its being so was an opinion of
As; and gives two reasons for his disallowal of the expression
شتّــان ما بين; first, because
شتّــان occurs with kesr to the ن; and second, because its
agent cannot be otherwise than what denotes more than one: [but see what has been observed above on this point:]
IAmb says that one must not say
شَتَّــانِ مَا بَيْنَ أَخِيكَ وَأَبِيكَ, because, in this case,
شتّــان [virtually] governs only one noun in the
nom. case: but that one may say,
شَتَّــانِ أَخُوكَ وَأَبُوكَ, and
شَتَّــانِ مَا أَخُوكَ وَأَبُوكَ, using
شَتَّــانِ as the dual of
شَتٌّ; though correctly
شتّــان is a
verbal noun:
MF, however, observes that the Expositors of the
Fs seem to say that
Fr makes
شَتَّــانِ to be the dual of
شَتٌّ; but that he only mentions it as a
dial. var. of
شَتَّــانَ: the following is adduced as an ex.
لَـ
ـشَتَّــانَ مَا أَنْوِى وَيَنْوِى بَنُو أَبِى
[Different, or widely different, &c., are that which I intend and that which the sons of my father intend]: in which
شتّــان is read with both fet-hah and kesreh: and it is said in the O that
شَتَّــانِ is a
dial. var. of
شَتَّــانَ. (
TA.)
b3: IJ mentions ↓
شَتَّــى as an accidental
syn. of
شتّــان; and says that it is not the
fem. of the latter: therefore the assertion of some, that it is used by poetical license in the following verse of Jemeel requires consideration: أُرِيدُ صِلَاحَهَا وَتُرِيدُ قَتْلِى
وَـ
ـشَتَّــى بَيْنَ قَتْلِى وَالصِّلَاحِ [I desire to make peace with her, but she desires to slay me: and different, or widely different, &c., are slaying me and making peace]. (
TA.)
