syn. قَلَّصَ; (

K:) [or the author of the
TA may have misunderstood this explanation in the
K, and the meaning may be it (a thing) contracted, or became contracted; for قَلَّصَ is
trans. and also (like قَلَصَ)
intrans.: that شمّر has this latter meaning, whether it have also, or have not, the former, is shown by the statement that] one says, شَمَّرَتِ الشَّفَةُ meaning قَلَصَت [i. e. The lip became contracted, or became contracted upwards]: (
M in art. قلص:) and ↓ تشمّر [in like manner] signifies it (a thing) contracted, or became contracted;

inf. n. as above; (
TA;) and ↓ اشمرها; (
K;) (assumed

A,
K) for the affair, (
S,

J; but I do not find it in the
S,]
b3: See also 2 as
syn. with 1 and 7.
A2: [Also,
app., as quasipass. of 2, It (a garment, &c., was, or became, raised, or tucked up, or contracted; and so signifies ↓ انشمر.]
