[In the place of سَدُّالشَّىْءِ, the explanation of the inf. n. accord. to the reading in the TA, we find in the CK شَدُّ الشَّىْءِ: and it seems that شَدَّهُ is a correct meaning of سَكَّهُ; for it is said that] from مَسْكُوكٌ as signifying مَشْدُودٌ is the post-classical phrase سَكُّ الأَبْوَابِ [i. e. The making fast of doors]. (TA.) [In the present day, سَكَّ البَابَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, means He locked, and he bolted, the door.] b2: And سَكَّهُ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, K, TA,) He clamped it (ضَبَّبَهُ) with iron; namely, a door, (S, K, TA,) and wood.

A3: سَكَّ بِمَا فِى بَطْنِهِ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth what was in his belly; (K, * TA;) muted, or dunged; (TA;) said of an ostrich: (K, TA:) and so سَجَّ. (TA.) And سَكَّ بِسَلْحِهِ, (AA, TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth his excrement, or ordure, (AA, K, TA,) in a thin state; (AA, * K, TA;) as also زَكَّ, (AA, TA,) and هَكَّ. (TA.) And هُوَ يَسُكُّ, inf. n. as above, He voids thin excrement or ordure; (As, S, TA;) as also يَسُجُّ, inf. n. سَجٌّ. (As, TA.) And أَخَذَهُ سَكُّ [He was taken with a looseness of the bowels;] he had thin evacuations of the bowels; expl. by قَعَدَ مَقَاعِدَ رِقَاقًا: and أَخَذَهُ سَكٌّ فِى بَطْنِهِ [signifies the same; or] his bowels became loose; as also سَجٌّ; so says Yaakoob; and he asserts it to be formed by substitution; but which of the two is so formed is unknown. (TA.) b2: سَكَّ فِى الأَرْضِ He went at random in the land, or country, not knowing whither to go, and was perplexed. (Ibn-'Abbád, O. [See also 7.]) b3: One says also, أَيْنَ تَسُكُّ Whither goest thou? (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) b4: مَا سَكَّ سَمْعِى مِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ الكَلَامِ The like of that speech has not entered my ear, or ears: and فِى مَسَامِعِى مِثْلُهُ ↓ مَااسْتَكَّ The like of it has not entered my ears. (TA.) A4: سَكَّ, [sec. Pers\., app., سَكُكْتَ,] aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. سُكٌّ, (K, TA,) It (one's nature, or disposition,) was, or became, base, ignoble, mean, or sordid. (K, * TA.) A5: سَكَّ, (Msb, TA,) sec. Pers\.

سَكِكْتَ, (Msb, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, سَكِكْتَ,]) inf. n. سَكَكٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) said of a man, &c., (K,) (assumed tropical:) He was small in the ear, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA,) with a sticking thereof to the head, and small projection thereof: (K, TA:) or he was short in the ear, with a sticking thereof to the part behind it: (TA:) or he was small in the قُوف [here meaning either the upper part or the helix (in the CK قُوب)] of the ear, and narrow in the ear-hole.

(TA.) b2: And A narrow road: (I'Abbád, O:) or a road stopped up: (K:) or a road narrow and stopped up. (Lh, TA.) b3: See also سَكٌّ. b4: Also The hole of the scorpion, (Ibn-'Abbád, S, O, K,) in the dial. of the BenooAsad; (Ibn-'Abbád, O;) and of the spider, (O, K,) likewise, because of its narrowness. (TA.) A2: Also A sort of perfume, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) prepared from رَامَك [q. v.], (K,) or from musk and رَامَك, (O,) the former being bruised, or pounded, sifted, kneaded with water, and wrung hard, and wiped over with oil of the خِيرِىّ [q. v.] in order that it may not stick to the vessel, and left for a night; then musk is pounded, or powdered, (يُسْحَقُ,) and put into it by degrees, and it is [again] wrung hard, and cut into small, round, flat pieces, and left for two days, after which it is perforated with a large needle, and strung upon a hempen string, and left for a year; and as it becomes old, its odour becomes the more sweet. (K.) A3: Also pl. of أَسَكُّ. (K.) سِكَّةٌ A ploughshare; i. e. the iron thing with which the ground is ploughed; (S, TA;) the iron appertenance of the plough. (K.) Hence the trad., مَا دَخَلَتِ السِّكَّةُ دَارَ قَوْمِ إِلَّا ذَلُّوا [The ploughshare enters not the abode of a people, or party, but they become abased]; meaning, in consequence of the violence and the demands that the agriculturists experience from the ruling power. (TA.) b2: And A die, i. e. an engraved piece of iron, (S, * Msb, K, TA,) having an inscription upon it, (TA,) with which dirhems and deenárs are stamped, (S, * Msb,) or upon which pieces of money (دَرَاهِم) are struck: (K:) pl. سِكَكٌ.

Hence their saying, (S,) or the saying of the Prophet, (O,) خَيْرُ المَالِ مُهْرَةٌ مَأْمُورَةٌ أَوْ سِكَّةٌ مَأْبُورَةٌ, (S, in the O سكّة مأبورة او مهرة مأمورة,) meaning [The best of property is] a prolific filly (TA) or a row of palm-trees fecundated: (S, TA:) or, accord. to As, سكّة مأبورة here signifies a ploughshare properly prepared [for ploughing]; and, he says, the meaning is, that the best of property is a brood [of a mare] or seed-produce. (S.) [It has been suggested to me that, if طريقة in the explanation above have the signification here assigned to it, the epithet مصطفّة is redundant; and therefore that طريقة alone may be the proper explanation, and may mean in this case, as it does in many others, a tall palm-tree, or the tallest of palm-trees, or a smooth palm-tree, or a palm-tree the head of which is reached by the hand; and that مصطفّة may have been added in consequence of misunderstanding, and سطر substituted for طريقة for the same reason: but I think it much more probable that the epithet has been added because طريقة is ambiguous; and this is confirmed by what here follows.] b2: Also A زُقَاق [meaning street]: (S, O, * Msb:) or [rather] a wide زُقَاق: (Msb:) or an even road, (K, TA,) [or street,] of such as are termed أَزِقَّة [pl. of زُقَاق]: (TA:) so called because the houses therein form a row or rows [on either side]; (O, TA;) being likened to a سِكَّة of palm-trees: (TA:) [in the present day, often applied to a highway, and to any road:] pl. سِكَكٌ [as above]: (O:) and ↓ سَكَائِكُ is syn. with [سِكَكٌ as meaning] أَزِقَّةٌ. (TA.) b3: [Hence also, app., one says,] اِجْعَلِ الأَمْرَ سِكَّةً وَاحِدَةً (assumed tropical:) Make thou the affair, or case, [uniform, or] one uniform thing. (Fr, TA in art. بأج.) b4: And أَخَذَ الأَمْرَ بِسِكَّتِهِ, (K,) and أَدْرَكَهُ بِسِكَّتِهِ, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) [He took the thing, and he attained it, in its proper way, or] when it was possible. (K, TA.) b5: And فُلَانٌ صَعْبُ السِكَّةِ (tropical:) Such a one will not remain quiet, or still, or steady, by reason of hastiness of temper. (Ibn-'Abbád, Z, O, TA.) A3: Also The house [or station] of the بَرِيد [or messenger that journeys on a beast of the post, or messengers on beasts of the post: it is likewise called سِكَّةُ البَرِيدِ: see بَرِيدٌ]: and أَصْحَابُ السِّكَكِ, occurring in a letter of 'Omar Ibn-'Abd-El-'Azeez, means the بُرُد [or messengers on beasts of the post] who are stationed there to be sent on affairs of importance. (Mgh.) سِكَّةُ البَرِيدِ is well known [as having the meaning assigned to it above: and also as meaning The space, or distance, between each station of the messengers above mentioned and the station next to it: see, again, بَرِيدٌ]. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) سَكَكٌ inf. n. of سَكَّ, sec. Pers\. سَكِكْتَ. (Msb, TA. [See 1, last sentence but one.]) سُكُكٌ [a pl. of which the sing. is not mentioned,] Bustards; syn. حُبَارَيَاتٌ.

(TA.) Hence the saying, لَا أَفْعَلُ ذٰلِكَ وَلَو نَزَوَْتَ فِىالسُّكَاكِ, meaning [I will not do that even if thou leap] into the sky. (S.) b2: Also The part, of an arrow, which is the place of the feathers. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) سَكُوكٌ: see سُكٌّ, in two places.

سَكَائِكُ pl. of سُكَاكَةٌ as syn. with سُكَاكٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) b2: See also سِكَّةٌ, in the latter half of the paragraph.

سَكِّى: see سَكٌّ سِكِّىٌّ: see سِكَّةٌ, in the former half of the paragraph.

A rájiz says, لَيْلَةُ حَكّ ٍلَيْسَ فِيهِا شَكُّ

أَحُكُّ حَتَّى سَاعِدِى مُنْفَكُّ

أَسْهَرَنِى الأُسَيْوِدُ الأَسَكُّ [A night of scratching: there is no doubt respecting it: I scratch so that my fore arm, or my upper arm, (for ساعد is used in both of these senses,) is dislocated: the little black thing without ears having rendered me sleepless]: he means the fleas, using the sing. as a gen. n.

سكَّ: سَكَّ: ذكر لين قولهم سَكّ ذلك سَمعْي نقلا عن تاج العروس (219) وأرى أنها تصحيف صكّ كما قلت في رسالتي إلى السيد فليشر (ص219 - 230) لأن السيد دي غوَيه قد حملني على أن ألاحظ وهو محق أن استكّت مسامعه في المشرق تعبير قديم (بيت النابغة في أساس البلاغة، وبيت عبيد بن الأبرص في معجم الأدباء لياقوت الحموي، وفي حديث الفائق 1: 559). وإذا كانت صك هي الصورة الحقيقية للكلمة لما احتفظ بها في الأندلس فقط. وأخيراً فلا حاجة إلى القول أن صك (= قرع) صحيحة أيضاً.
سكّ: ضرب النقود، طبعها على السكة (انظر تعليقتي في الجريدة الأسيوية 1869، 3: 156). وفي الادريسي (ج2 فصل5): مبلغ المكس على كل راس ثمانية دنانير من أي الذهب كان مكسوراً أو مسكوكاً (المقري 2: 349) وعليك أن تقرأ فيه وفقا لما جاء في طبعة بولاق: جملة من دنانير سُكَّتْ باسمه.
استك: نشر، أذاع، أعلن (فوك). ولا أدرى إذا كان يجب الاشارة إلى ما ذكره لين في مادة سكّ، وهو قولهم: ما استك في مسامعي مثله.
استك: في المعجم اللاتيني - العربي: stridor استكاك ورعب.
استك: شم رائحة (فوك).
سِ: سِكّة. نقود (ألكالا).
سكّ؛ في مادة قربال نجد اسم سَكّ أي منجل صغير (ألكالا) ولا أدري ما يراد بهذه الكلمة.
سُكّ: طيب وانظر عن هذا الطيب ابن البيطار (3: 38)، ويسميه الأطباء سَكّ المسك (محيط المحيط).
سِكَّة: أكر، عمل الحرث أو الحراثة والفلاحة والكراب. ففي ابن العوام (1: 391) يعمل عشر سكك. وفي رياض النفوس (ص80 و): وهذا التين يعود لرجل كما (كان (كذا)) سخر أهل المنزل حتى حرثوه اثنا (حرثوا اثني) عشر سكة في أرض مغصوبة.
سِكَّة: الأرض التي يحرثها محراث واحد (مجلة الشرق والجزائر 7: 293). وعند تستا (ص9): إن جملاً واحداً أو حصانا يقوده رجل يحرث من الأرض ما يبذر فيها في كل سنة حوالي سبعة كيلوات من الشعير وكيلو واحد من القمح في قسطنطينية وهذا ما يسمونه سِكة.
سِكَّة سفين، اسفين، أداة حديدية يفلق بها (بوشر).
سكّة؛ وتد حديدي (بوشر) يمكن أن نضيف إلى الأمثلة المذكورة في معجم البلاذري ومعجم الطرائف: (الفخري ص265، باين سميث 1489 (وقد ذكرت فيه مرتين)، ألف ليلة 1: 86، يرسل 9: 296، (في طبعة ماكن تقابل وتد) 13: 176).
سِكّة: كُلاّب حديد (ألف ليلة 1: 198).
وجملة القصة تتطلب هذا المعنى (ويؤيد ذلك ما ذكر في معجم ألكالا).
سِكّة: أنجر، مرساة (ألكالا).
سِكّة: نقود، دراهم مسكوكة (فوك) وفيه سَكَّة، وجمعها سُكُوك (بوشر)، المقري 1: 130، تاريخ البربر 1: 434، 2: 137، 139) وفي النويري (إفريقية ص28 و): فضرب زيري السكة. وفي ميثاق العقود (ص1) بكذا ديناراً من السكة الجارية حين اشتراها. وفيه؛ اشتراه منه بكذا وكذا ديناراً من سكة (السكة) الجارية الآن.
(الجريدة الأسيوية 1843، 3: 222) وتضاف هذه الكلمة بعد كلمة دراهم، ففي أماري ديب (ص51) سبعة دراهم سكة. وفيه (ص1): وثلاثة دراهم ونصف سكة. وتسمى دار ضرب النقود: دار السكة. ومما يجدر النظر إليه أن الكلمة الثانية تجمع أيضاً عندما تجمع دار فيقال: دور السِكاك.
(معجم البلاذي) ودور السكة تدل على نفس المعنى. وفي حيان - بسام (1: 173 و) جاء ذكر متقبّلْ السكة في المرية أي متلزم دار السكة.
سِكّة: صرافة نقود الذهب والفضة. ففي تاريخ البربر (2: 153): وهم أهل بيت من قرطبة كانوا يتحرفون فيها بسكّة الدنانير والدراهم.
سِكّة: طريق، زقاق. دار السِكَّة العامة عند الفقهاء ما كان فيها قوم لا يحصون وتسمى بطريق العامة، والسكة الخاصة عندهم أيضاً ما كان فيها قوم يحصون وتسمى بطريق الخاصة والخاص (محيط المحيط).
درب سكة، طريق معبَّد (بوشر).
سِكّة تطلق أحياناً على الميدان والميدان العام لا على الطريق (انظر لين) ففي إشبيلية كانت سكة الحطّابين (المقري 1: 516) كما كان في غرناطة ميدان الحطابين (مذكرات تاريخ أسبانيا 3: 47).
سكّة: مجاز، ممر في الغابة (بوشر).
سكة: سكة البريد أي المسافة بين محطة بريد وأخرى (انظر لين والبكري ص105، 107) ومقدارها أربعة فراسخ (معجم البلاذري).
