inf. n. شُفُوفٌ (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K) and شَفِيفٌ (
S,
O,
K) and شَفَفٌ, (
CK, [but not in my
MS. copy of the
K nor in the
TA,]) It (a garment, or piece of cloth,) was thin, fine, or delicate, (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K,) so that what was behind it was visible, (
S, *
IB,
Mgh, [ for خَلَقَهُ in some copies of the
S, and خَلْفَهُ in others, I read مَا خَلْفَهُ, which is the right reading
accord. to
IB and the
TA, agreeably with the reading in the
Mgh, which is مَا وَرَآءَهُ,]) or so as to tell what was beneath it: (
O,
K:) [and it, (a gem, or the like,) was translucent: or was transparent. (See شَفَّافٌ.)] One says, شَفَّ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبُهُ His garment was thin, &c., upon him. (

aor. ـِ
inf. n. شِفٌّ, It (a thing,

trad., شَفَّ نَحْوًا مِنْ دَانِقٍ It exceeded by about a دانق. (
Sh, O.) And one says, شَفَّ عَلَيْه,
aor. ـُ [so in the
L and
TA,
contr. to rule, probably a mistranscription for يَشِفُّ,]
inf. n. شُفُوفٌ; and ↓ شفّف, and ↓ استشفّ; [
app. meaning, as seems to be indicated by the context, It exceeded it:] and شَفِفْتُ فِى السِّلْعَةِ [
app. a mistranscription for شَفَفْتُ] I gained in, or upon, the the article of merchandise: (

TA,) It (anxiety) rendered him lean, or emaciated; (
S,
O,
K;) as also ↓ شَفْشَفَهُ; (

K.) You say, أَشْفَفْتُ بَعْضَ وَلَدِى عَلَى
بَعْضٍ I preferred some of my children above some. (
S. [And the like is said in the
Mgh.]) And أَشْفَفْتُ هٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا I preferred this above this. (

K) He drank what was in the vessel, all of it, (
S,
O,
K,) even the شُفَافَة [or last drop or remains], (

S;) [and so اِجْتَفَّ;] as also ↓ تشافّ: (
S,
O,
K:) and ↓ استشفّ المَآءَ He drank the water to the uttermost, not leaving any of it remaining; as also ↓ شَفَّهُ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. شَفٌّ: and المَآءَ ↓ شَفَفْتُ I drank much of the water without having my thirst satisfied. (
TA.) [Hence,] in the
trad. of Umm-Zara, وَإِنْ شَرِبَ اشْتَفَّ [And if he drank, he drank up all that was in the vessel]. (
S, O.) And it is said in a
prov., ↓ لَيْسَ الرِّىُّ عَنِ التَّشَافِّ (
S,
O,
TA) i. e. The satisfying of thirst is not from the drinking up all that is in the vessel; for it is sometimes effected by less than this: (
O,
TA:) it is applied in forbidding one's going to the utmost in an affair, and persevering therein. (
S, *
O,
TA.)
Accord. to
IAar, one says also تَشَافَيْتُ المَآءَ I exhausted the water; which,
ISd says, is originally ↓ تَشَافَفتُ. (
TA.)
b2: 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Sebreh El-Harashee uses the first of these verbs metaphorically in relation to death; saying, سَاقَيْتُهُ المَوْتَ حَتَّى اشْتَفَّ آخِرَهُ meaning (
tropical:) [I vied with him in giving the draught of death] until he drank the last of it, i. e., the last of death. (

O,
K,
TA,) so that nothing remained of it redundant, by reason of the largeness of the middle of his body. (

O,
K,) or استشفّ مَا وَرَآءَهُ, (
S,
Msb,) He saw what was behind it. (
O,
Msb,
K.) [Thus the former signifies He saw through it: and it is used in this sense both properly and tropically.]
b2: Hence the saying to the seller of cloths, اِسْتَشِفَّ هٰذَا الثَّوْبَ, [which may be rendered Look thou through this garment, or piece of cloth; but is
expl. as] meaning make thou this garment, or piece of cloth, single, [by unfolding it,] and raise it, or hold it up, in shade, in order that I may see whether it be close in texture or flimsy. (
TA.)
b3: استشفّ also signifies [agreeably with the explanation of استشفّ مَا وَرَآءَهُ mentioned above] (assumed
tropical:) He distinguished a thing plainly, like as one distinguishes plainly a thing behind glass. (

TA.) And
accord. to
AA, الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies The hoar-frost's burning [meaning blasting] the herbage of the earth: or the burning of a medicament that is sprinkled upon a wound: (
O:) or it has the former of these two meanings, and signifies also the sprinkling of a medicament upon a wound. (
K. [But I think that, for وَذَرُّ الدَّوَآءِ in the
K, we should read وَذَرِّ الدَّوَآءِ, and thus reconcile the
K in this case with the O: see, however, what next follows; which may be regarded either as confirming the reading in the
K, or as having misled its author, in this instance.])
A2: الشَّفْشَفَةُ signifies also The sprinkling of urine and the like. (
K.) You say, شَفْشَفَ بِبَوْلِهِ He sprinkled his urine. (

subst.; and this is perhaps meant in the O and
K: or] شَفٌّ signifies also a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering: or,
accord. to Aboo-Nasr, a certain thin, fine, or delicate, veil or covering, of wool, through which one sees what is behind it: (

TA) forbade] the رِبْح [i. e. gain, or profit, of that for which one has not made himself responsible to the purchaser]. (
O,
Mgh.) And one says, لِهٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا شِفّق [There is, or pertains, to this, an excess above this]. (
