(TA in art. سح.) [But it is said that] it signifies also Lean, or emaciated; (K;) applied to a beast: (TA:) and fat: thus having two contr. meanings. (K.) b2: Also Hungry: (S, K:) applied in this sense by Et-Tirimmáh to a wolf, because this animal is not described as fat or lean.

(TA.) Hence, شِنْشِنَةٌ أَعْرِفُهَا مِنْ أَخْزَمْ [A natural disposition, or a habit, which I know, as inherited from Akhzam]: (S, Meyd, Mgh:) or, accord. to one relation, نِشْنِشَةٌ, which is app. formed by transposition from شِنْشِنَةٌ: (Meyd:) a prov.: (Meyd, Mgh:) [of its origin there are different explanations: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 658, and Har pp. 591 and 596:] أَخْزَمُ is the proper name of a man: (Meyd, Mgh, &c.:) or accord. to Lth, it is an epithet applied to a penis; one says كَمَرَةٌ خَزْمَآءُ “ a glans of a penis having a short frænum,” and ذَكَرٌ أَخْزَمُ; and شنشنة means the dropping of water [i. e., in this case, of the seminal fluid]: (Meyd:) the prov. is applied in relation to nearness of resemblance.
