شعر
1 شَعَرَ بِهِ, (
S,
Msb,
K, &c.,) and شَعُرَ بِهِ, (
K,) which latter is disallowed by some, but both are correct, though the former is the [more] chaste, (
TA,)
aor. ـُ (
S,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. شِعْرٌ (
S,
Msb,
K, &c.) and شَعْرٌ (
K,
TA) and شَعَرٌ, (
TA, and so in the
CK in the place of شَعْرٌ,) but the first is the most common, (
TA,) and شِعْرَةٌ (
Msb,
K) and شَعْرَةٌ and شُعْرَةٌ, (
K,) of which last three the first is the most common, (
TA,) and شِعْرَى and شُعْرَى (
K) and شَعْرَى (
TA) and شُعُورٌ (
Msb,
K) and شُعُورَةٌ, (
K,) which is said to be the
inf. n. of شَعُرَ, (
TA,) and مَشْعُورٌ and مَشْعُورَةٌ (
Lh,
K) and مَشْعُورَآءُ, (
K,) which is of
extr. form, (
TA,) He knew it; knew, or had knowledge, of it; was cognizant of it; or understood it; (
S, *
A,
Msb,
K,
TA;) as also شَعَرَ لَهُ: (
Lh,
TA:) or he knew the minute particulars of it: or he perceived it by means of [any of] the senses. (
TA.)
Lh mentions the phrase أَشْعُرُ فُلَانًا مَا عَمِلَهُ and أَشْعُرُ لِفُلَانٍ مَا عَمِلَهُ [I know what such a one did or has done], and مَا شَعَرْتُ فُلَانًا مَا عَمِلَهُ [I knew not what such a one did], as on the authority of
Ks, and says that they are forms of speech used by the Arabs. (
TA.) [See also شِعْرٌ, below.]
b2: شَعَرَ, (
A,
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. شِعْرٌ and شَعْرٌ, (
K,
TA,) or شَعَرٌ, (so
accord. to the
CK instead of شَعْرٌ,) He said, or spoke, or gave utterance to, poetry; spoke in verse; poetized; or versified;
syn. قَالَ شِعْرًا; [for poetry was always spoken by the Arabs in the classical times; and seldom written, if written at all, until after the life-time of the author;] (
A,
Msb,
K;) as also شَعُرَ: (
K:) or the latter signifies he made good, or excellent, poetry or verses; (
K,
MF;) and this is the signification more commonly approved, as being more agreeable with
analogy: (
MF:) or the latter signifies he was, or became, a poet; (
S;) as also شَعِرَ,
aor. ـَ (
TA.) One says, شَعَرْتُ لِفُلَانٍ I said, or spoke, poetry, &c., to such a one. (
TS,
O,
TA.) And لَوْ شَعُرَ بِنَقْصِهِ لَمَا شَعَرَ [Had he known his deficiency, he had not spoken poetry, or versified]. (
A.)
A2: شَاعَرَهُ فَشَعَرَهُ: see 3.
A3: شَعَرَ as a

syn. with اشعر: see 4.
b2: As syn. with شاعر: see 3.
A4: شَعِرَ,
aor. ـَ (
K,)
inf. n. شَعَرٌ, (
TA,) His (a man's,
TA) hair became abundant (
K,
TA) and long: (
TA:) and said likewise of a goat, or other hairy animal, his hair became abundant. (

b2: Also (assumed
tropical:) He possessed slaves. (
Lh,
K.) 2 شعّر as an
intrans. verb: see 4:
b2: and as a
trans. verb also: see 4.
3 شَاْعَرَ ↓ شَاعَرَهُ فَشَعَرَهُ, (
S,
K,)
aor. of the latter شَعَرَ, that is with fet-h, (
S,
MF,)
accord. to
Ks, who holds it to be thus even in this case, where superiority is signified, on account of the faucial letter; or,
accord. to most, شَعُرَ, agreeably with the general rule; (
MF;) He vied, or contended, with him in poetry, and he surpassed him therein. (
S,
K,
MF.)
A2: And شاعرهُ, (
S,) and شاعرها, (
A,
Msb,
K,) and ↓ شَعَرَهَا, (
A,
K,) He slept with him, and with her, (نَاوَمَهُ,
S, and نَامَ مَعَهَا,
Msb,
K, or ضَاجَعَهَا,
A,) in one شِعَار [or innermost garment]. (
S,
A,
Msb,
K.)
A3: [Reiske, as mentioned by Freytag, explains شاعر as signifying also Tractavit, prensavit, vellicavit: but without naming any authority.]
4 اشعرهُ He made him to know. (
S.) Yousay, اشعرهُ بِالأَمْرِ and الأَمْرَ, (
K,) the latter of which is less usual than the former, because one says شَعَرَ بِهِ but not شَعَرَهُ, (
MF,) He aquainted him with the affair; made him to know it. (
K.) And أَشْعَرْتُ أَمْرَ فَلَانٍ I made known the affair of such a one. (
A.) And أَشْعَرْتُ فُلَانًا I made such a one notorious for an evil deed or quality. (
A.)
b2: Also, (
inf. n. إِشْعَارٌ,
Msb,) He marked it, namely a beast destined for sacrifice at Mekkeh, (
S, *
Mgh,
Msb, *
K,
TA,) by stabbing it in the right side of its hump so that blood flowed from it, (
S,) or by making a slit in its skin, (
K,) or by stabbing it (
K,
TA) in one side of its hump with a مِبْضَع or the like, (
TA,) so that the blood appeared, (
K,
TA,) or by making an incision in its hump so that the blood flowed, (

S.)
b4: And (
tropical:) He pierced him with a spear so as to make the spearhead enter his inside: and اشعرهُ سِنَانًا (
tropical:) he made the spear-head to enter into the midst of him: [but this is said to be] from اشعرهُ بِهِ “ he made it to cleave to it. ” (
TA.) أَشْعِرَ is said specially of a king, meaning He was slain. (
A,
TA.)
b5: Also He made it to be a distinguishing sign: as when the performance of a religious service is made, or appointed, by God to be a sign [whereby his religion is distinguished]. (
TA.)
b6: and اشعروا They called, uttering their شِعَار [whereby they might know one another]: or they appointed for themselves a شِعَار in their journey. (
Lh,

A,
K,) and a جُبَّة, (
A,) and the مِيثَرَة of a horse's saddle, and a قَلَنْسُوَة, and the like, (

A,
K;) as also ↓ شَعَرَ; (

inf. n. تَشْعِيرٌ: (
TA:) or, said of a ميثرة, he covered it with hair. (

b4: and اشعرهُ He clad him with a شِعَار [i. e. an innermost garment]. (
S,
A,
K.) And He put on him a garment as a شِعَار, i. e., next his body. (
TA.) [Hence,] اشعرهُ فُلَانٌ شَرًّا (
tropical:) Such a one involved him in evil. (

tropical:) [Love involved him in disease]. (

A,
Msb,
K, but only the latter in my copies of the
S and in the

dial. vars., the like being common in cases of this kind, in which the medial radical letter is a faucial, (
MF,) [but the latter I have found to be the more common,] Hair; i. e. what grows upon the body, that is not صُوف nor وَبَر; (
K;) it is an appertenance of human beings and of other animals: (
S,
A,
Msb:) [when spoken of as used in the fabrication of cloth for tents &c., the meaning intended is goats' hair: (see 4 in art. بنى:)] of the
masc. gender: (
Msb,
TA:)
pl. (of the former,
Msb) شُعُورٌ and (of the latter,
Msb) أَشْعَارٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and (of the latter also,
TA) شِعَارٌ: (
K,
TA:) and ↓ أُشَيْعَارٌ, properly
dim. of أَشْعَارٌ, is used,
accord. to Aboo-Ziyád, as
dim. of شُعُورٌ: (
TA:) the
n. un. is with ة: (
S,
A, *
Msb,
K:) and this, i. e. شَعْرَةٌ [or شَعَرَهٌ], is also used metonymically as a
pl. (
K,
TA.) One says, بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ المَالُ شَقُّ الشَّعْرَةِ and شَقُّ الأُبْلُمَةِ (assumed

A,
K) before it is pulverized. (

شِعْرٌ [an
inf. n., (see 1, first sentence,) and used as a simple
subst. signifying] Knowledge; cognizance: (
K,
TA:) or knowledge of the minute particulars of things: or perception by means of [any of] the senses. (
TA.) One says, لَيْتَ شِعْرِى فُلَانًا مَا صَنَعَ, (
Ks,
Lh,
S, *
Msb, *
K, *) and لَيْتَ شِعْرِى لَهُ مَا صَنَعَ, and لَيْتَ شِعْرِى عَنْهُ مَا صَنَعَ, (
Ks,
Lh,
K, *) i. e. Would that I knew what such a one did, or has done; (
S, *
K, *
Msb, *
TA;) for would that my knowledge were present at, or comprehending, what such a one did, or has done; the phrase being elliptical: (
TA:)
accord. to
Sb, لَيْتَ شِعْرِى is for ليت شِعْرَتِى, the ة being elided as in هُوَ أَبُو عُذْرِهَا [for هو ابو عُذْرَتِهَا], (
S,
TA,) the elision of the ة in this latter instance, as
Sb says, being peculiar to the case of the words being preceded by ابو; [but see عُذْرَةٌ;] and as in إِقَامَة when used as a
prefixed noun; though لَيْتَ شِعْرَتِى is not now known to have been heard. (
TA.) One says also, لَيْتَ شِعْرِى مَا كَانَ Would that I knew what happened, or has happened. (
A.)
b2: The predominant signification of شِعْرٌ is Poetry, or verse; (
Msb,
K;) because of its preeminence by reason of the measure and the rhyme; though every kind of knowledge is شِعْرٌ: (
K:) or because it relates the minute affairs of the Arabs, and the occult particulars of their secret affairs, and their facetiæ: (
Er-Rághib,
TA:) it is properly defined as language qualified by rhyme and measure intentionally; which last restriction excludes the like of the saying in the
Kur [xciv. 3 and 4], اَلَّذِى أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكْ وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكْ, because this is not intentionally qualified by rhyme and measure: (
KT; and the like is said in the
Msb:) and sometimes a single verse is thus termed: (
Akh,
TA:)
pl. أَشْعَارٌ. (
S,
K.)
b3: Also (assumed
tropical:) Falsehood; because of the many lies in poetry. (

TA.) شَعَرٌ: see شَعْرٌ, in two places.

K,
TA,) and therefore always scratching with them. (
TA.) شَعْرَةٌ and شَعَرَةٌ ns. un. of شَعْرٌ [
q. v.] and شَعَرٌ.
شِعْرَةٌ The hair of the pubes; (
T,
Msb,
K;) as also ↓ شِعْرَآء, [
accord. to general
analogy with tenween,] or ↓ شَعْرَآء, [and if so, without tenween,] accord to different copies of the
K; (
TA;) of a man and of a woman; and of the hinder part of a woman: (
T,
Msb:) or the hair of the pubes of a woman, specially: (

TA:) there are two stars of this name; الشِّعْرَى العَبُورُ and الشِّعْرَى الغُمَيْصَآءُ, (
S,
K,) together called الشِّعْرَيَانِ: the former is that [above mentioned] which is in [a mistake for “ after ”] الجَوْزَآء, and the latter is [Procyon,] in the ذِرَاع [by which is meant الذِّرَاعُ المَقْبُوضَةُ, not الذِّرَاعُ المَبْسُوطَةُ]; (
S;) and both together are called the two Sisters of Suheyl (سُهَيْل [i. e. Canopus]): (
S,
K:) the former was worshipped by a portion of the Arabs; and hence God is said in the
Kur-án to be Lord of الشِّعْرَى: (
TA:) it is called العَبُور because of its having crossed the Milky Way; and the other is called الغُمَيْصَآء because said by the Arabs to have wept after the former until it had foul thick matter in the corner of the eye: (
K in art. غمص:) the former is also called الشِّعْرَى اليَمَانِيَّةُ [the Yemenian, or Southern, شعرى]; and the latter, الشِّعْرَى الشَّامِيَّةُ [the Syrian, or Northern, شعرى]. (
Kzw.) شَعْرَآءُ

accord. to
Lth, certain of the Arabs pronounced in a similar manner any word of that measure of which the medial radical letter is not a faucial, like كَبِيرٌ and جَلِيلٌ and كَرِيمٌ, (

T,
S,
Msb,
K:) so called because of his intelligence; (
S,

accord. to
Akh, it is a possessive
epithet, like لَابِنٌ and تَامِرٌ: (
S:)
pl. شُعَرَآءُ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) deviating from
analogy: (
S,
Msb:)
Sb says that the measure فَاعِلٌ is likened in this case to فَعِيلٌ; and hence this
pl.: (
TA:) or,
accord. to IKh, the
pl. is of this form because the
sing. is from شَعُرَ, and therefore should by rule be of the measure فَعِيلٌ, like شَرِيفٌ [from شَرُفَ]; but were it so, it might be confounded with شَعِير meaning the grain thus called, therefore they said شَاعِرٌ, and regarded in the
pl. the original form of the
sing. (
Msb.) A wonderful poet is called خِنْذِيذٌ: one next below him, شَاعِرٌ: then, ↓ شَوَيْعِرٌ [the

b4: And as an
epithet, (
tropical:) Evil, foul, or abominable: [as being likened to that which is shaggy, and therefore unseemly:] (
