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. (

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,

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. (

شِكَاكٌ Tents arranged in a row: (
O,
K:) one says, ضَرَبُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ شِكَاكًا They pitched their tents in one row: but

syn. خُلُقٌ. (
TK, as from the

act. part. n. of شَكَّ].
b2: رَجُلٌ شَاكُّ السِّلَاحِ and شَاكٌّ فِى السِّلَاحِ [A man completely armed]: the former

analogy:] you say قَوْمٌ شُكَّاكٌ فِى
الحَدِيدِ [a people, or party, completely clad in sets of iron arms or weapons]. (
S, O. [In one of my copies of the
S, بِالحَدِيدِ.]) [
Accord. to the
TA, one says مِنْ قَوْمٍ شُكَّاكٍ ↓ رَجُلٌ شَكَّاكٌ: but شَكَّاكٌ seems evidently to be a mistranscription for شَاكٌّ. See also شَاكُ السِّلَاحِ and شَاكِى السِّلَاحِ in arts.

O,
TA:) [but in the
EM it is مَسَكِّ, thus with س, and with fet-h to the م; a word which I do not find in any lexicon: it is said that] مسك signifies a coat of mail narrow in the rings: and the poet means, And of many an ample coat of mail [narrow in the rings] have I rent open the middle parts with the sword, from over a man who was the defender of those who, or that which, it was his duty to defend, who was pointed to as being the cavalier of the army. (
