شُجَاعٌ and ↓ شِجَاعٌ (
Lh,
ISk,

S,
Msb) ↓ شُجَعَآءُ (
S,
Msb,
K) and [of the 4th, and perhaps of others also,] شِجَاعٌ, (

pl. ns.,
TA,) ↓ شَجْعَةٌ (
AO,
S,
K) and ↓ شُجْعَةٌ (
K) and ↓ شَجَعَآءُ [
app. a mistake for شِجَعَآءُ or شَجْعَآءُ]: (

pl. fem. [all of شَجِيعَةٌ, or the last of شَجْعَآءُ or of شَجِعَةٌ,] شَجَائِعُ and شِجَاعٌ and شُجُعٌ: (
Lh,
K:) or شُجَاعٌ is [an
epithet] peculiar to men: (
K, *
TA:)
Az says, “ I have heard the Kilábees say, رَجُلٌ شُجَاعٌ, but they do not apply this
epithet to a woman: ” (
S:) ↓ شَجِعَةٌ and ↓ شَجِيعَةٌ, however, are applied to a woman, and signify bold, (Ibn-'Abbád,
K,) longtongued, and vehemently clamorous, towards men; (Ibn-'Abbád,
TA;) audacious in her speech, (Ibn-'Abbád,
K, [but these two epithets as applied to a woman and signifying “ bold ” &c. are omitted in the
CK,]) and in her length of tongue, and vehement clamorousness. (Ibn-'Abbád,
TA.)
b2: شُجَاعٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and ↓ شِجَاعٌ (
K) also signify (assumed
tropical:) The serpent; (
K;) and so does ↓ أَشْجَعُ: (
TA:) or (
tropical:) the male serpent: (
Mgh,
K:) or a certain species of serpent, (
Sh,
S,
Msb,
K,) as also ↓ أَشْجَعُ, (
S,) small, (
K,) or slender, and asserted to be the boldest of the serpent-kind: (
Sh:)
pl. شِجْعَانٌ (
Lh,
IDrd,
K) and شُجْعَانٌ, (
IDrd,
K,) the former of which is the more common: (
IDrd:) the
pl. of أَشْجَعُ is أَشَاجِعُ; or, as some say, this is
pl. of أَشْجِعَةٌ, which is
pl. [of pauc.] of شجاع, signifying the serpent. (
TA.) [See also شَجْعَمٌ, above.]
b3: Also (
tropical:) The serpent called صَفَرٌ, that presents itself in the belly (
S,
K, *
TA) of a man, as the Arabs assert, when he has been long hungry: (
S,
TA:) but
As says that شُجَاعُ البَطْنِ signifies (assumed
tropical:) vehemence of hunger. (
Az,
TA.) شِجَاعٌ: see شُجَاعٌ, in two places.
شَجِيعٌ;
fem. with ة: see شُجَاعٌ, in three places.
شَاجِعٌ: see شَجْعَةٌ.
أَشْجَعُ;
fem. شَجْعَآءُ: see شُجَاعٌ, in four places. You say also, لَبُؤَةٌ شَجْعَآءُ A bold lioness. (
TA.)
b2: Applied to a man,
accord. to some, it signifies, (
S,) or it signifies also, (
K,) In whom is lightness, or unsteadiness, like what is termed هَوَجٌ, (
S,
K,) by reason of his strength. (
S.) See also شَجِعٌ.
b3: Mad; or possessed by a devil: (
TA:)
Lth says that, applied to a man, it signifies one who is as though there were in him madness, or diabolical possession; but
Az says that this is a mistake; for, were this its meaning, the poets would not have used it in praise. (
TA, in another part of the art.)
b4: Tall: (
IDrd,
Msb,
K:) and so the
fem. applied to a woman. (
IDrd,
Msb.)
b5: Bulky; big-bodied; or stout: or, as some say, youthful; or in a state of youthful vigour. (
TA.)
b6: The lion. (
Lth,
S,
K.)
b7: It is said in the
K that الأَشْجَعُ also signifies الدَّهْرُ [i. e. Time; or fortune; &c.]; and
J says that this is what the poet means by the expression, أَشْجَعُ أَخَّاذٌ: but this cannot be the correct meaning, for the poet, namely El-Aashà, says, بِأَشْجَعَ أَخَّاذٍ عَلَى الدَّهْرِ حُكْمُهُ by الاشجع meaning himself, or some other thing. (
TA.)
A2: Also, (
S,
K,) and إِشْجَعٌ, (
K,) or the latter
accord. to some, but this was not known to Abu-l-Ghowth, (
S,)
sing. of أَشَاجِعُ, [in some copies of the
S written أَشَاجِيعُ, but the former, which, as is mentioned in the
TA, is found in the handwriting of
J, is that which is commonly known,] which signifies [The knuckles nearest to the wrist; this being what is meant by] the bases (أُصُول) of the fingers, which are connected with the tendons of the outer side of the hand: (
S,
K:) in the
T, we find the heads (رُؤُوس) of the fingers, instead of اصول: (
TA:) or اشجع in the hand and foot [but see what follows] signifies the tendons extended above the سُلَامَى [here meaning the metacarpal and metatarsal bones] from the wrist to the bases (أُصُول) of the fingers or toes, which are called أَطْنَابُ الأَصَابِعِ, above the outer side of the hand: or the bone which connects the finger with the wrist; [i. e. the metacarpal bone;] every finger having to it a bone thus called: he who says that the أَشَاجِع [so here instead of اشجع as above] are the tendons calls those bones the أُسْنَاع. (
TA.) Aboo-Bekr is described as عَارِى الأَشَاجِعِ عَنْ مَفَاصِلِ الأَصَابِعِ, meaning Having little flesh upon what are thus termed: or having their tendons apparent. (
TA.) [See also رَاجِبَةٌ and بُرْجُمَةٌ.]
A3: أَشْجَعُ مِنْ دِيكٍ [More courageous than a cock] is one of the proverbs of the Arabs. (
Mgh.) مُشْجَعٌ, like مُجْمَلٌ, (
K,
TA,) i. e. having the form of a
pass. part. n., (
TA,) [in the
CK مَشْجَع, like مَحْمَل,] In the utmost state of madness, or diabolical possession: (
K:) so says Ibn-Abbád; and hence,
accord. to him, شُجَاعٌ [but in what sense he does not say]. (
TA.) مَشْجُوعٌ Overcome, or surpassed, in شَجَاعَة [or courage, &c.]. (
K,
TA.)
