شيح

1 شَاحَ: see 4. b2: [Also, accord. to Freytag, on the authority of the “ Kitáb el-Addád,” He was brave, or bold: thus having two contr. significations. b3: Another meaning assigned to it by him, in common with شَايَحَ and أَشَاحَ, as on the authority of the K, i. e. “ Diligens fuit,” is a mistake.]2 شيّحهُ, (O,) inf. n. تَشْيِيحٌ, (K,) He cautioned him; or made him to fear, or be in fear. (O, K. *) b2: And He removed him, or it, far away. (O.) A2: And شيّح, (O, TA,) inf. n. as above, (K,) He looked at his adversary, or antagonist, and straitened him, or treated him with hardness or harshness: (O, K, * TA:) from IAar. (TA.) 3 شَاْيَحَ see the next paragraph, in two places. b2: Also He fought. (T, K.) 4 اشاح, (S, A, K,) inf. n. إِشَاحَةٌ, (IAar, TA,) He was cautious, or in fear, (S, A, K,) مِنْهُ [of it], (A, TA,) i. e. a thing, or an affair, (TA,) and عَلَى حَاجَتِهِ [for the thing that he wanted]; (K;) as also ↓ شايح, (S, A, K,) inf. مُشَايَحَةٌ and شِيَاحٌ; and ↓ شَاحَ: (K:) or he was cautious and in fear, endeavouring to repel death. (L.) b2: But in the dial. of Hudheyl, (S,) He strove, laboured, toiled, or exerted himself, فِى أَمْرٍ [in an affair]; and so ↓ شايح. (S, A.) b3: And He continued journeying, or going on. (O.) b4: اشاح بِوَجْهِهِ He turned away his face, (S, A, TA,) from a [person or] thing, or from the heat of fire, or a hot odour, and from something hurtful: (TA:) or he exerted himself in aversion or turning away. (IAar, TA.) One says, كَلَّمْتُهُ فَأَشَاحَ بِوَجْهِهِ I spoke to him, and he turned away his face. (A.) b5: اشاح also signifies He advanced, or came forward; syn. أَقْبَلَ. (Fr, O, TA.) [Thus it has two contr. meanings. See also the part. n., مُشِيحٌ.] b6: And He defended what was behind his back. (IAth, TA.) [See, again, the part. n.] b7: اشاح بِذَنَبِهِ, said of a horse, He let his tail hang down loosely. (Lth, S.) F, in the K, following Az and Sgh, says that this is a mistranscription of the verb, for اساح; but his assertion requires proof. (MF.) [See the latter verb, in art. سيح.]

A2: اشاحت الأَرْضُ The land produced the plant called شِيح. (AHn, O, K.) شِيحٌ Cautious, or fearing; (A, K;) as also ↓ شَائِحٌ, (A, TA,) and ↓ مُشِيحٌ: (As, O:) or this last, cautious, or fearing, and at the same time striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself: (Az, TA:) or all signify prudent; discreet; or having, or using, precaution, or good judgment; (Ham p. 281;) and so ↓ شَيْحَانُ. (Id. p. 43.) b2: In the dial. of Hudheyl, (S, O,) Striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself, (S, A, O, K,) in affairs; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ شَائِحٌ, (A, K,) and ↓ مُشِيحٌ: (As, O, K:) pl. of the first [and app. of the second also] شِيَاحٌ: (S, O.) A2: Also [The artemisia Judaïca; and absinthium Ponticum; species of wormwood;] a certain plant, (AHn, S, A, O, K,) well known, (AHn, O, K,) of several species, (AHn, O,) of some [species] whereof brooms are made, (L,) [and which is also used for fumigation,] the leaves of which are [of the kind called] هَدَب; (AHn, O, L;) it has a sweet odour, but its taste is bitter; is pasture for horses and camels; and the places of its growth are the plains and the meadows: (AHn, O, L:) pl. شِيحَانٌ. (Fr, O, L.) A3: Accord. to the K, [probably on the authority of Lth,] it signifies also A [garment of the kind called] بُرْد, of El-Yemen: but Az says that there is no kind of garment so called: the correct word is سَيْحٌ, with [the unpointed] س [and with fet-h]. (TA.) شَيْحَانُ [and probably with tenween also]: see شِيحٌ. b2: Also Very jealous; (S, O, K;) because such is cautious for his wives, or women under covert, or household or family; (S, O;) and so ↓ شَائِحٌ. (K.) b3: Also, (O, K,) and ↓ شِيحَانٌ, (As, O, K,) Tall: (O, K:) or goodly in tallness. (L.) b4: And the former, That makes, or utters, a low sound in running; [so I render يَتَهَمَّسُ عَدْوًا in the K and TA; in the O and in my MS. copy of the K, يَتَهَمَّشُ; but the former I think the right reading; app. by reason of quickness, or swiftness; for it is added,] quickness, or swiftness, is meant thereby: (O, TA: *) mentioned by Az, on the authority of Khálid Ibn-Jembeh. (TA.) [In this sense it seems to be with tenween: for]

شَيْحَانَةٌ [is its fem. and] means A quick, or swift, she-camel. (S, O.) b5: Also A horse strong in spirit; syn. شَدِيدُ النَّفْسِ; (O, K, TA; in the CK, النَّفَسِ [i. e. in breath];) and so ↓ شِيحَانٌ: thus expl. by Skr. (O.) شِيحَانٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

شِيَاحٌ Mutual caution or fear. (And The act of striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting oneself, in anything. (K.) [But in both of these senses it seems to be an inf. n. of 3, q. v.]

A2: Also (K) Drought, dearth, scarcity. (O, K.) شَائِحٌ: see شِيحٌ, in two places: b2: and see also شَيْحَانُ.

مُشِيحٌ: see شِيحٌ, in two places. It is also expl. as meaning Striving, labouring, toiling, or exerting himself, and persevering in his work: (A:) and striving &c., and hastening, or going quickly. (TA.) b2: Also Advancing, or coming forward, to one. (Fr, O, K.) b3: And Defending what is behind one's back. (Fr, O, K.) مُشَيَّحٌ is expl. as meaning Striped; applied to a garment: but Az says that there is no such word, so applied: the correct word is مُسَيَّحٌ, with [the unpointed] س. (TA.) مَشِيحَى: see the following paragraph.

مَشِيحَآء: see the following paragraph.

مَشْيُوحَى: see the following paragraph.

مَشْيُوحَآءُ (S, O, K) and ↓ مَشِيحَى (O, K) A state of haste: (S, O, K:) or a state of confusion: (K:) the latter meaning mentioned in the L: (TA:) you say, هُمْ فِى مَشْيُوحَآءَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ (S, O, K) and فى مَشِيحَى من امرهم (O, K) They are in a state of haste in respect of their affair: (S, O, K:) or in a state of confusion in their affair: (L, K:) as having the latter meaning, Ibn-Málik says that it is مَشِيجَآء, with ج and medd, of the measure فَعِيلَآء, not مَفْعِلَآء; but this requires consideration: Ibn-Umm-Málik and others, following AHei, say that ↓ القَوْمُ فِى مَشِيحَآءَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ means the people, or party, are in a state of striving, labour, toil, or exertion, and determination, or resolution, in respect of their affair. (TA.) A2: مَشْيُوحَآءُ also signifies A land that produces the plant called شِيح; (S, O, K;) and so ↓ مَشْيُوحَى: (O, K:) or it signifies many plants of the kind so called: thus in the T, on the authority of As and A 'Obeyd, and so says AHn, as is stated [in the O and] in the R; (TA;) AHn saying further that it is like مَشْيُوخَآء meaning a company of شُيُوخ [or elderly men], and مَعْيُورَآء meaning a herd of عُيُور [or asses], &c.; (O;) [so that it is a quasi-pl. n.;] but this is disallowed by El-Mufaddal Ibn-Selemeh.
