شنف
1 شَنَفْتُ إِلَى الشَّىْءِ, (
S,)
aor. ـِ (
O,
Msb,)
inf. n. شَنْفٌ, (
S,
O,
K,) I looked in a state of opposition, or resistance, (فِى اعْتِرَاضٍ,) at the thing; like شَفَنْتُ: (
S, O: *) or الشَّنْفُ signifies the looking at a thing, (
O,) or the looking at a thing like him who is opposing it, or resisting it, (كَالمُعْتَرِضِ عَلَيْهِ,
K,
TA,) and the raising of the eyes in looking at a thing, (
TA,) like him who wonders at it, or like him who dislikes it, or hates it; (
O,
K,
TA;) and so الشَّفْنُ, as
Az says. (
TA.) [See also 2.]
A2: شَنِفَ لَهُ, (
S,
O,
K,) and بِهِ also, or, correctly,
accord. to
ISd, this verb is
trans. in the sense here next following without any
particle, (
TA,) [but two exs. are cited in the O from trads. in which it is
trans. by means of ل,]
aor. ـَ (
S,
K,)
inf. n. شَنَفٌ, (
S,
O,) He hated him, (أَبْغَضَهُ,) and met him in a morose manner: (
S,
O,
K: [in the
K, the latter meaning is expressed by تَنَكَّرَهُ, for تَنَكَّرَ لَهُ: in the
S and
O, the former meaning is expressed as above, on the authority of
ISk; and it is also said that الشَّنْفُ is
syn. with البُغْضُ and التَّنَكُّرُ:] in the former of these two senses it is like شَئِفَهُ, with ء: (
S, O:) or الشنف [i. e. الشَّنَفُ] is a
subst. signifying vehemence of enmity. (
Ham p. 108.)
b2: And شَنِفَ لَهُ, (
IAar,
ISd,

A3: And شَنِفَ, (
K,
TA, [in the former of which it is erroneously implied that the verb is followed by لَهُ,]) His upper lip turned upwards; (
K,
TA;)
inf. n. شَنَفٌ; (
TA;) or this is a
subst., signifying a turning upwards of the upper lip: so says
Az. (
O.) 2 شَنَّفَهَا,
inf. n. تَشْنِيفٌ, He adorned her (i. e. a woman,
S, or a girl, or young woman,
O,
K) with the [ornament called] شَنْف; (

IAar,
TA:) or, as some say,
i. q. قُرْطٌ: (

O,
K) and [of pauc.] أَشْنَافٌ. (
