(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, O, * K, TA,) and بِهِ, (ISd, TA,) i. q. فَطِنَ [i. e. He knew it; knew, had knowledge, or was cognizant, of it; or knew it instinctively; &c.].

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; (S, O, K;) like as one says, قَرَّطَهَا; (S, TA;) as also ↓ أَشْنَفَهَا.

[of mult.] شُنُوفٌ (IDrd, S, O, K) and [of pauc.] أَشْنَافٌ. (TA.) شَنِفٌ Hating, (S, O, K,) and meeting in a morose manner. (K.)
