b2: [شَقَّ رَأْسَهُ generally means He clave his head, or his pericranium: and sometimes, as in an instance in the

b3: شَقَّ العَصَا [

خُوصَة, which, when it is split lengthwise, splits in halves: (
M:) or,
accord. to Aboo-Ziyád, the ابلمة is a herb, or leguminous plant, (بَقْلَةٌ,) to which there come forth pods, like [those of] the bean; and when you split them lengthwise, they split in halves, equally, from the first part to the last thereof: شَقَّ is in the

b9: And a name for A thing at which one looks: (
Lth,
O,
K:) [but this is
app. taken from the following saying of
Lth, in which I think الشِّقُّ is a mistranscription for الشَّقُّ, meaning “ the crack,” &c.:] الشَّقُّ is the
inf. n. of شَقَقْتُ, and الشِّقُّ is a name for that at which one looks [i. e. for the visible effect of the act signified by the verb], and the

TA,) mentioned on the authority of some one or more of [the tribe of] Keys: (
