(A.) One says, شمّر عَنْ سَاقِهِ [He raised, or tucked up, his garment, or waist-wrapper, or skirts, from his shank]. (S.) [And in like manner, ↓ تــشمّر signifies He raised, or tucked up, his garment, &c.: for] one says also, تــشمّر عَنْ سَاعِدَيْهِ [He tucked up his sleeves from his fore arms]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., شَمَّرَ ذَيْلًا وَادَّرَعَ لَيْلًا i. e. [lit.] He contracted, or drew up, his [or a] skirt [and clad himself with night as with a tunic]: (TA:) or شَمِرْ ذَيْلًا وَادَّرِعْ لَيْلًا, meaning (tropical:) Use thou prudence, or precaution, or good judgment, and journey all the night. (S and K in art. درع.) b2: [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) He strove, or laboured, exerted himself or his power or ability, employed himself vigorously or laboriously or with energy, or took extraordinary pains, (AA, Msb, TA,) and was quick, (AA, TA,) فِى الأَمْرِ [in the affair]; as also ↓ شَمَرَ, inf. n. شَمْرٌ: (TA:) and فِى العِبَادَةِ [in religious service]: (Msb:) and فِى سَيْرِهِ [in his pace, or journeying]; like تَجَرَّدَ and اِنْجَرَدَ.

(A.) b3: Also He contracted a thing; syn. قَلَّصَ; (TA;) [and so, perhaps, ↓ شَمَرَ; for] الــشَّمْرُ signifies تَقْلِيصُ الشَّىْءِ, like التَّشْمِيرُ: (K:) [or the author of the TA may have misunderstood this explanation in the K, and the meaning may be it (a thing) contracted, or became contracted; for قَلَّصَ is trans. and also (like قَلَصَ) intrans.: that شمّر has this latter meaning, whether it have also, or have not, the former, is shown by the statement that] one says, شَمَّرَــتِ الشَّفَةُ meaning قَلَصَت [i. e. The lip became contracted, or became contracted upwards]: (M in art. قلص:) and ↓ تــشمّر [in like manner] signifies it (a thing) contracted, or became contracted; syn. تَقَلَّصَ.

شمرخ

Q. 1 شَمْرَــخَ النَّخْلَةَ He stripped off the unripe dates of the palm-tree. (L.) And شَمْرِــخِ العِذْقَ Strip thou the شَمَارِيخ [or fruit-stalks] of the raceme of the palm-tree with the مِخْلَب, cutting off [the dates]. (L, * K. [In the former, in the place of قَطْعًا, the last word in the explanation in the K, is put قَعْطًا, app. by a mistake of the copyist.]) شِمْرَــاخٌ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and ↓ شُمْرُــوخٌ (S, Msb, K) A [fruit-] stalk of the raceme of a palm-tree; (Mgh;) the عِثْكَال, (S, L,) or thing, (Msb,) upon which are the dates; (L, Msb;) [i. e. any one of the stalks that branch off from the main stem of the raceme, and on which hang the dates; each of these stalks comprising a number of dates, one below another:] pl. of both شَمَارِيخُ: (Msb:) the عِذْق, or كِبَاسَة, [q. v.,] comprises the شَمَارِيخ: (Msb voce عِذْقٌ:) or an عِثْكَال upon which are unripe dates, or grapes: (K:) originally relating to a raceme of dates; but sometimes, to grapes: (L:) and the former word [or each] signifies a small bunch of grapes, growing apart, but attached to the lower portion of the stalk of a larger bunch. (T, TA.) b2: Also, شِمْرَــاخٌ, The head of a mountain: (S, K:) or a round, tall, slender head, or peak, of a mountain: (L:) accord. to As, [the pl.] شَمَارِيخُ signifies the heads of mountains: (TA:) or it signifies the upper, or uppermost, part [or parts] of a mountain; and in like manner, of trees. (Ham p. 786.) And (assumed tropical:) The upper, or uppermost, parts of clouds: (K:) or [the pl.] شَمَارِيخُ is metaphorically applied to the upper, or uppermost, parts of clouds.

(Lth, TA.) [See غُرَّةٌ سَائِلَةٌ, in art. سيل.] Accord. to J, The horse itself [that has such a blaze] is also thus called; but this is a mistake: (K:) it seems that he meant to have said ذُو شِمْرَــاخٍ; but this, in a verse which he cites, is the name of a horse of Málik Ibn-'Owf En-Nadree, as is said in the K. (MF.) b4: [The pl.] الشَّمَارِيخُ is also a name applied by the Arabs to (assumed tropical:) The stars of Centaurus (قَنْطُورُس) and Lepus (السَّبُعُ) collectively.
