pl. (of the first,
Mgh,
Msb) شِنَانٌ: (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K:) and
Lh mentions the phrase قِرْبَةٌ أَشْنَانٌ, as though they applied the term شَنٌّ to every portion of the قربة and then pluralized it thus; but he says that he had not heard أَشْنَانٌ as a
pl. of شَنٌّ except in this case: (
TA:) the water in a شَنّ is cooler [than that in a skin not so old]. (
Mgh.) It is said in a
prov., لَا يُقَعْقَعُ لِى بِالشِّنَانِ [A confused and clattering noise will not be made to me with the old and worn-out water-skins to frighten me]: (

L and
TA in art. قع.) An old man is likened to the skin thus termed. (

S;) so called because some of his fatness has gone: (Aboo-Kheyreh,
TA:) one says مَهْزُولٌ; then مُنْقٍ, when he has become a little fat; then شَنُونٌ; then سَاحٌّ; and then مُثَرْطِمٌ, when fat in the utmost degree: (
Lh,
TA:) so says Aboo-Ma'add El-Kilá- bee. (
TA in art. سح.) [But it is said that] it signifies also Lean, or emaciated; (
K;) applied to a beast: (
TA:) and fat: thus having two
contr. meanings. (
K.)
b2: Also Hungry: (
S,
K:) applied in this sense by Et-Tirimmáh to a wolf, because this animal is not described as fat or lean. (
S.) شَنِينٌ Poured forth: applied in this sense by the Hudhalee poet 'Abd-Menáf to thick blood (عَلَق). (

pl., signifies the channels of water, of mountains, that pour forth into valleys from a rugged place. (

TA.) Hence, شِنْشِنَةٌ أَعْرِفُهَا مِنْ أَخْزَمْ [A natural disposition, or a habit, which I know, as inherited from Akhzam]: (
S,
Meyd,

accord. to one relation, نِشْنِشَةٌ, which is
app. formed by
transposition from شِنْشِنَةٌ: (
Meyd:) a
prov.: (
Meyd,
Mgh:) [of its origin there are different explanations: see Freytag's Arab.
Prov. i. 658, and
Har pp. 591 and 596:] أَخْزَمُ is the proper name of a man: (
Meyd,
Mgh, &c.:) or
accord. to
Lth, it is an
epithet applied to a penis; one says كَمَرَةٌ خَزْمَآءُ “ a glans of a penis having a short frænum,” and ذَكَرٌ أَخْزَمُ; and شنشنة means the dropping of water [i. e., in this case, of the seminal fluid]: (
Meyd:) the
prov. is applied in relation to nearness of resemblance. (
Meyd,
Mgh.)
A2: Also A bit of flesh-meat, as much as is chewed at once;
syn. مُضْغَةٌ: or a piece of flesh-meat; (
