A2: شَرَعَ المَالَ, aor. as above, [inf. n., app., شَرْعٌ,] He brought the cattle to the watering-place; a also ↓ اشرعهُ: (Msb:) and the former is trans. in this sense by means of بِ: (Har p. 21:) or شَرَعَ (TA) and ↓ شرّع, inf. n. of the latter تَشْرِيعٌ, (S, TA,) he made the beasts, (S,) or his camels, (TA,) to enter into the water [to drink]: (S, TA: *) and نَاقَتَهُ ↓ اشرع he made his she-camel to enter into the watering-place: (TA:) or ↓ تَشْرِيعٌ signifies the bringing camels to the wateringplace to drink without requiring in doing so to draw with the pulley and its appertenances nor to give them to drink in a watering-trough or tank. (O, K.) It is said in a prov, (S,) أَهْوَنُ

(TA.) Accord. to Az, this meaning of شَرَعَ is from شَرَعَ الإِهَابَ [which see in what follows]. (TA.) One says, شَرَعَ اللّٰهُ لَنَا كَذَا God made apparent, manifest, or plain, to us, such a thing. (Msb.) And شَرَعَ فُلَانٌ Such a one made apparent, manifest, or plain, the truth, or right. (TA.) b5: and شَرَعَ لَهُمْ i. q. سَنَّ [i. e.

(O, K.) b8: and شَرَعَ الشَّىْءَ He raised, or elevated, the thing much; (K;) as also ↓ اشرعهُ. (TA.) 2 شَرَّعَ see 1, in six places.

A2: شرّع السَّفِينَةَ, inf. n. تَشْرِيعٌ, He made, or put, a sail (شِرَاع) to the ship, or boat.

(TA.) And it is said in a trad. (respecting the [ablution termed] وُضُوْء), حَتَّى

أَشْرَعَ فِى العَضُدِ meaning Until, or so that, he made the upper half of the arm to reach to (lit. to enter) the water. (TA.

(TA.) b4: And أَشْرَعَ said of a plant, or of herbage, [app. for أَشْرَعَ الإِبِلَ,] (assumed tropical:) It became full-grown, and satiated the camels. (TA.) b5: See, again, 1, latter half, in six places.8 فُلَانٌ يَشْتَرِعُ شِرْعَتَهُ [meaning Such a one originates, or embraces, or follows, his way of religion] is similar to the phrases يَفْتَطِرُ فِطْرَتَهُ and يَمْتَلُّ مِلَّتَهُ; from شِرْعَةُ الدِّينِ and فِطْرَتُهُ and مِلَّتُهُ. (TA.) شَرْعٌ, originally an inf. n.: b2: then applied as a name for A manifest, a plain, or an open, track, or road, or way: b3: and then, metaphorically, to The divine way of religion; so says Er-Rághib; (TA;) syn. with شَرِيعَةٌ, q. v. (Msb.) b4: In the saying مَرَرْتُ بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعِكَ, (so in the K,) or مررت بِرَجُلٍ شَرْعُكَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ, (so in the S and O, [ for هُوَ شَرْعُكَ,]) with kesr and with damm to the ع [of شرعك], (TA,) i. e. [I passed by a man] sufficing thee [as a man], (S, O, K,) the meaning is, of the sort to which thou directest thyself and which thou seekest (فِيهِ وَتَطْلُبُهُ ↓ تَشْرَعُ): (S, O:) and the word in this sense is used alike as sing. and pl. (S, O, K) and dual, because it is [originally] an inf. n. (S, O.) You say, شَرْعُكَ هٰذَا [and هٰذَانِ and هٰؤُلَآءِ] i. e. Sufficient for thee [is this and are these two and are these]. (S: and the like is said in the Mgh.) And it is said in a prov., شَرْعُكَ مَا بَلَّغَكَ المَحَلَّا thus correctly, for it is a hemistich; not المَحَلَّ, as in the S and K; (TA;) i. e. Sufficient travel-ling-provision for thee is that which will cause thee to reach the place [of alighting] to which thou repairest: (K, TA:) applied to the case of being content with little. (S, K.) b5: See also شَرَعٌ, in two places. b6: And see شِرْعَةٌ.

شِرْعٌ [in the CK, erroneously, شَرْع,] The like of a thing; as also ↓ شِرْعَةٌ: (K, TA:) [but the former is masc. and ↓ the latter is fem.; for] one says, هٰذَا شِرْعُ هٰذَا This is the like of this; and so هٰذِهِ هٰذِهِ ↓ شِرْعَةُ: and هٰذَانِ شِرْعَانِ these two are likes. (S, O, TA.) [The pls., or rather coll. gen. ns. and pls., following this meaning in the K belong to شِرْعَةٌ and شَرْعَةٌ in another sense; as is shown by exs. in the O and TA.]

A2: Also The chords of the بَرْبَط, (O, K, TA,) which is the [Persian] عُود [or lute]. (TA.) [In this sense, a coll. gen. n.:] see its n. un. شِرْعَةٌ. b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA,) (tropical:) The [thong called] شِرَاك of a sandal. (O, K, TA.) It is related in a trad. that a man said, إِنِّى أُحِبُّ الجَمَالَ حَتَّى فِى شِرْعِ نَعْلِى (O, TA) i. e. (tropical:) [Verily I love elegance, even] in the شراك of my sandal. (TA.) شَرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ.

A2: One says, النَّاسُ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ شَرَعٌ and ↓ شَرْعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, (Msb,) allowed by Kr and Kz, but disallowed by Yaakoob, (IDrst, TA,) The people are in this affair equals: (S, Msb, K:) in this sense, used alike as sing. and pl. and fem. (S, TA) and masc.: (TA:) [of شَرَعٌ] Az says that it seems to be pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of ↓ شَارِعٌ, like as خَدَمٌ is of خَادِمٌ; i. e., [the phrase means] the people enter into this affair (يَشْرَعُونَ فِيهِ) together. (TA.) One says also, النَّاسُ شَرَعٌ وَاحِدٌ and واحد ↓ شَرْعٌ, meaning The people are one sort. (K.) شَرْعَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

(O.) b2: Also, (S, O, K,) and ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, (K,) A string, or chord: (S, O, K, TA:) or such as is slender: or while continuing stretched upon the bow; (TA;) and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ; (Lth, O, K;) or upon the lute; and so ↓ شِرَاعٌ: (TA:) the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] (of ↓ شِرْعَةٌ, S, O, [i. e. of this n. un. meaning the “ chord of a lute,” as is shown by exs. in the O and TA,]) is ↓ شِرْعٌ (S, O, K) and (that of ↓ شَرْعَةٌ, TA) ↓ شَرْعٌ, (O, K, TA,) like as تَمْرٌ is of تَمْرَةٌ, (O, TA,) and [the pl. properly so termed] (of شِرْعَةٌ, S, O) شِرَعٌ, and pl. pl. شِرَاعٌ: (S, O, K:) and the pl. of ↓ شِرَاعٌ as a sing. syn. with شِرْعَةٌ is شُرُعٌ. (TA.) شَرَعَةٌ i. q. سَقِيفَةٌ [i. e. A roof, or covering, such as projects over the door of a house &c.; or a place roofed over]: pl. أَشْرَاعٌ. (O, K.) شَرْعِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the religion or law. b2: And Accordant to the religion or law; legal, or legitimate.]

A2: The شِرَاعٌ of a ship or boat (S, Mgh, O, Msb) is called in Pers\. بَادْبَان [i. e. A sail]; (MA, Mgh, KL;) i. q. قِلْعٌ; (MA, TA;) a thing like a wide مُلَآءَة [q. v.], (O, K, TA,) of cloth or of matting, (TA,) [raised, or attached,] upon a piece of wood [i. e. a mast or a yard]; which is beaten upon by the wind (تُصَفِّقُهُ الرِّيحُ,) and causes the ship, or boat, to go along: (O, K, TA:) so called because it is raised (يُشْرَعُ i. e. يُرْفَعُ) above the ship, or boat: (TA:) pl. أَشْرِعَةٌ and شُرُعٌ; (O, K;) the former a pl. of pauc. (O.) b2: And hence, as being likened thereto, (TA, [and the same is implied in the S and O,]) (tropical:) The neck of a camel. (S, O, K, TA.) Sometimes they said of a camel, رَفَعَ شِرَاعَهُ, meaning (tropical:) He raised his neck: (S, O, TA.) b3: One says also رَجُلٌ شِرَاعُ الأَنْفِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) A man having the nose extended, and long. (TA. [See أَشْرَعُ.]) b4: See also شِرْعَةٌ, in three places.

شَرِيعٌ Courageous; (O, K, TA;) applied to a man. (O, TA.) A2: Also Good, or excellent, flax. (K.) b2: And The ليف [or fibres that grow at the base of the branches of the palm-tree] of which the prickles (شَوْك) are strong, and such as, by reason of their thickness, are fit for the sewing of leather therewith. (TA.) شَرَاعَةٌ Courage; (O, K;) as an attribute of a man. (O.) شَرِيعَةٌ and ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرُعَةٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ مَشْرَعٌ (TA) and ↓ شَرَعٌ (O, TA *) and مَآءٍ ↓ شِرَاعُ (TA) A watering-place; a resort of drinkers [both men and beasts]; (S, O, K, TA;) a place to which men come to drink therefrom and to draw water, (Msb, * TA,) and into which they sometimes make their beasts to enter, to drink: (TA:) but the term ↓ مشرعة, (Az, Msb,) or شريعة, (TA,) is not applied by the Arabs to any but [a watering-place] such as is permanent, and apparent to the eye, (Az, Msb, TA,) like the water of rivers, (Msb,) not water from which one draws with the well-rope: (Az, Msb, TA:) the pl. of شَرِيعَةٌ is شَرَائِعُ; and that of ↓ مَشْرَعَةٌ or ↓ مَشْرَعٌ [or of both] is مَشَارِعُ; which is also expl. as meaning gaps, or breaches, in the banks of rivers or the like by which men or beasts come to water: (TA:) and [in like manner it is said that] شَرِيعَةٌ signifies a place of descent to water: (Lth, TA:) or a way to water. (Bd in v. 52.) b2: And hence, (Lth, Kr, Msb, TA, and Bd ubi suprà,) الشَّرِيعَةُ, (Lth, Kr, S, Msb, K, &c.,) as also ↓ الشِّرْعَةُ, (Msb, K, &c.,) and ↓ الشَّرْعُ, (Msb,) signifies likewise الدِّينُ; (Msb, and Bd ubi suprà;) because it is a way to the means of eternal life; (Bd ibid.;) or because of its manifestness; (Msb;) [i. e.] The religious law of God; (Lth, Kr, S, O, K, * TA;) consisting of such ordinances as those of fasting and prayer and pilgrimage (Lth, Kr, TA) and the giving of the poorrate (Kr, TA) and marriage, (Lth, TA,) and other acts (Lth, Kr, TA) of piety, or of obedience to God, or of duty to Him and to men: (Kr, TA:) pl. as above. (Msb.) شَرِيعَةٌ signifies also [A law, an ordinance, or a statute: and] a religion, or way of belief and practice in respect of religion: (Fr, TA:) and a way of belief or conduct that is manifest (Ibn-'Arafeh, Mgh, K) and right (Ibn-'Arafeh, K) in religion; (Mgh;) and so ↓ شِرْعَةٌ. (K.) شُرَاعِىٌّ, as an epithet applied to A spear-head and a spear, of Shuráa, (TA,) which was the name of a certain man who made spear-heads and spears, (K, TA,) as they assert: but IAar says that it may be a reg. rel. n. from شُرَاعٌ, or an irreg. rel. n. from some other name of which the radical latters are شرع: and [SM says also that,] applied to a spear, it signifies long: (TA:) or ↓ شِرَاعِىٌّ, thus applied, has this meaning, a rel. n. [from شِرَاعٌ]. (S, O.) شُرَاعِيَّةٌ and ↓ شِرَاعِيَّةٌ [in the CK without teshdeed], applied to a she-camel, signify (tropical:) Long-necked; (O, K, TA:) thus expl. by ISh: but Az thinks the latter to be the more probably correct; the neck being likened to the شِرَاع of the ship or boat, because of the height thereof. (O.) شِرَاعِىٌّ; and its fem., with ة: see the next preceding paragraph.

شَرَّاعٌ A seller of the flax called شَرِيع. (IAar, K.) شَارِعٌ Entering into water [to drink]: pl. شُرَّعٌ and شُرُوعٌ: (KL:) these pls. are applied in this sense to camels.

(Bd, Jel. *) b4: Also, applied to a place of alighting, or an abode, (مَنْزِلٌ,) Situate upon a road that is a thoroughfare: and شَارِعَةٌ applied to a house (دَارٌ) signifies the same; (K;) or having its door [opening] upon such a road; (TA;) or near to the road and to the people [or passengers]: (Mgh, * TA:) and دُورٌ شَارِعَةٌ houses having their doors opening into the streets: or دُورٌ شَوَارِعُ, as expl. by IDrd, houses upon one open road. (TA.) It is said in a trad., كَانَتِ الأَبْوَابُ شَارِعَةً إِلَى المَسْجِدِ The doors were opening towards the mosque. (TA.) b5: And Anything near (K, TA) to a thing, or overlooking it: whence شَارِعَةٌ applied to a house (دَارٌ) near to the road and to the people, as expl. above. (TA.) [Hence,] نُجُومٌ شَوَارِعُ Stars near to setting. (K.) b6: [Also Pointing directly towards a person; applied to a spear.] One says رِمَاحٌ شَارِعَةٌ and شَوَارِعُ (K, TA) and شُرَّعٌ as in some of the copies of the S (TA) Spears pointing directly: and ↓ رِمَاحٌ مَشْرُوعَةٌ and ↓ مُشْرَعَةٌ spears directed. (K, TA.) b7: Also [used as a subst.] A main road: (S, O:) or it signifies, (Mgh, TA,) or so طَرِيقٌ شَارِعٌ, (Msb,) (tropical:) a road, or way, into which people enter (يَسْلُكُهُ النَّاسُ, Msb, or يَشْرَعُ فِيهِ النَّاسُ, Mgh, TA) in common, or in general; (Mgh, Msb, TA;) by a tropical attribution; (Mgh;) [i. e.] شَارِعٌ in this case has the meaning of مَشْرُوعٌ [or مَشْرُوعٌ فِيهِ]; (Msb;) or as meaning ذُو شَرْعٍ مِنَ الخَلْقِ [having an entering of people]: (TA:) or it signifies a manifest, plain, or conspicuous, road or way: (Mgh, TA:) [in the present day, شَارِعٌ commonly signifies any great street that is a thoroughfare:] the pl. is شَوارِعُ. (Msb.) A2: الشَّارِعُ also means The learned man who practises what he knows and instructs others: (K, TA:) or so الشَّارِعُ الرَّبَّانِىُّ. (O.) and hence it is applied to designate the Prophet: [or as meaning The legislator: or the announcer of the law:] or because he made manifest and plain the religion, or religious law of God. (TA.) أَشْرَعُ A nose of which the end is extended (K, TA) and elevated, and long. (TA.) مَشْرَعٌ: see شَرِيعَةٌ, in two places.

(TA in art. حقب.) b2: And [hence, i. e.] from the شِكَال of the beast, (TA,) شَكَلَ الكِتَابَ, (AHát, S, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He restricted [the meaning or pronunciation of] the writing, (قَيَّدَهُ, AHát, S, TA,) or he marked the writing, (أَعْلَمَهُ, Msb,) with the signs of the desinential syntax (AHát, * S, * Msb, TA *) [and the other syllabical signs and the diacritical points]: or i. q. أَعْجَمَهُ: (K:) but AHát says that شَكَلَ الكِتَابَ has the former meaning; and أَعْجَمَهُ signifies he dotted, or pointed, it [with the diacritical points]: (TA:) and الكِتَابَ ↓ اشكل signifies the same as شَكَلَهُ; (S, Msb, K, TA;) as though [meaning] he removed from it dubiousness and confusion; (S, K, * TA;) so that the أ in this case is to denote privation: (TA:) this [J says (TA)] I have transcribed from a book, without having heard it.

(TA.) [And hence, app.,] one says, مَاشَكْلِى وَشَكْلُهُ, meaning What is my case and [what is] his, or its, case? because of his, or its, remoteness from me.

(TA.) One says, ↓ لَنَا قِبَلَكَ أَشْكَلَةٌ [&c.] i. e. حَاجَةٌ [We have a want to be supplied to us on thy part; meaning we want a thing of thee]. (S, O.) A3: Also i. q. مُدَاهَنَةٌ. (So in the O and TA. [But whether by this explanation be meant the inf. n., or the fem. pass. part. n., of دَاهَنَ, is not indicated. Words of the measure فَعْلَآءُ having the meaning of an inf. n., like بَغْضَآءُ, are rare.]) شِكَالٌ, of which the pl. is شُكُلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) the latter also pronounced شُكْلٌ, (TA,) i. q. عِقَالٌ [A cord, or rope, with which a camel's fore shank and arm are bound together]: (S, O:) [or, accord. to the TA, by عقال is here meant what next follows:] a rope with which the legs of a beast (دَابَّة) are bound: (K:) a bond that is attached upon the fore and hind foot [or feet] of a horse [or the like] and of a camel: (KL:) [hobbles for a horse or the like, having a rope extending from the shackles of the fore feet to those of the hind feet: so accord. to present usage; and so accord. to the TK, in Turkish كوستك: Fei says only,] the شِكَال of the beast (دابّة) is well known; and the pl. is as above.

(TA.) One says, أَصَابَ شَاكِلَةَ الرَّمِيَّةِ, meaning [He hit] the خَاصِرَة [or flank] of the رميّة [or animal shot at]. (TA.) [Hence,] one says, أَصَابَ شَاكِلَةَ الصَّوَابِ (tropical:) [He hit the point that he aimed at, of the thing that was right]: and هُوَ يَرْمِى بِرَأْيِهِ الشَّوَاكِلَ (tropical:) [He hits, by his opinion, or judgment, the right points]. (TA.) Ibn-'Abbád says that [the pl.]

شَوَاكِلُ signifies [also] The hind legs; because they are shackled [with the شِكَال]. (O.) b2: Also The part between the ear and the temple. (IAar, K, TA.) b3: And شَوَاكِلُ (which is the pl. of شَاكِلَةٌ, TA) (assumed tropical:) Roads branching off from a main road. (K.)

And the fem., شَكْلَآءُ, is applied as an epithet to an eye, (S, K,) meaning Having in it what is termed شُكْلَةٌ, which is the like of a redness in the white thereof; like شُهْلَةٌ in the black: (S:) pl. as above. (K.) A man is said to be أَشْكَلُ العَيْنِ, meaning Having a redness, (Mgh,) or the like of a redness, (O,) in the white of the eye: (Mgh, O:) the Prophet is said to have been أَشْكَلُ العَيْنِ: and it has been expl. as meaning long in the slit of the eye: (K:) but ISd says that this is extraordinary; and MF, that the leading authorities on the trads. consentaneously assert it to be a pure mistake, and inapplicable to the Prophet, even if lexicologically correct.

b3: And (tropical:) A writing restricted [in its meaning or pronunciation] with the signs of the desinential syntax [and the other syllabical signs and the diacritical points]. (AHát, TA.)

تِئْمٌ, whence هُوَ تِئْمُهُ: see تَوْءَمٌ.

تَئِيمٌ, whence هُوَ تَئِيمُهُ: see تَوْءَمٌ.

تُؤَامِيَّةٌ A pearl; (M, K;) so called in relation to تُؤَامٌ, (TA,) which is a town twenty leagues from the metropolis of 'Omán, (K, TA,) in the tract next the sea, (TA,) a city of 'Omán whence pearls are purchased, (M,) erroneously called by J تَوْءَمٌ, [but in one copy of the S I find it written تُوام,] and said by him to be the metropolis of 'Omán; (K;) as also ↓ تَوْءَمِيَّةٌ, (TA, [and thus it is written in copies of the S, but in one copy I find it written تُوامِيَّة,]) thought by En-Nejeeremee to be thus called in relation to the oyster-shell, because this is always what is termed تَوْءَمٌ, q. v. (TA.) تَوْءَمٌ A twin; one of two young, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) and of more, (M, K,) brought forth at one birth, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) of any animals; whether a male or a female, or a male [brought forth] with a female; (M, K;) and تَوْءَمَةٌ is [also] applied to a female: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) it occurs in poetry contracted into تَوَمٌ: (M:) the pl. is تَوَائِمُ and تُؤَامٌ, (S, M, Msb, K,) the latter of which is of a rare form, not without parallels, (M,) said by some to be a quasi-pl. n., and by some to be originally [تِئَامٌ,] with kesr, but the assertion of these last is condemned by AHei; (MF;) and تَوْءَمُونَ is allowable as applied to human beings: (S, TA:) you say, هُوَ تَوْءَمُهُ [in the TA, erroneously, تُؤْمُهُ, with damm,] and ↓ تِئْمُهُ and ↓ تَئِيمُهُ [in the CK تَيْئمُهُ] (Az, M, K) [meaning He is his twin-brother]: and هُمَا تَوْءَمَانِ (S, * M, Mgh, Msb * K) and تَوْءَمٌ (M, K) [They two are twin-brothers]: or تَوْءَمٌ applies only to one of the two; (Msb;) it is a mistake to say هُمَا تَوْءَمٌ and هُمَا زَوْجٌ: (Mgh:) [but see زَوْجٌ:] Lth says that تَوْءَمٌ applies to two sons, or young ones, [born] together; and that one should not say هُمَا تَوْءَمَانِ, but هُمَا تَوْءَمٌ: this, however, is a mistake: correctly, as ISk and Fr say, تَوْءَمٌ applies to one, and تَوْءَمَانِ to two. (T, TA.) It is of the measure فَوْعَلٌ, (Kh, S, IB, Msb,) in the opinion of some, (IB,) and originally وَوْءَمٌ, (Kh, T, S, IB,) like as تَوْلَجٌ is originally وَوْلَجٌ; (Kh, T, S;) from الوِئَامُ, (T, IB,) “ the being mutually near,” (T,) “ mutually agreeing,” (T, IB,) “ being mutually conformable; ” (IB;) so that it means one that agrees with, or matches, another, (IB.) b2: It is metaphorically used in relation to all things resembling one another [so that it means (tropical:) One of a pair].

(S.) [This citation, and what immediately follows it in the S, mentioning the pl. تَوْءَمُونَ, not تُؤَامُونَ, have been misunderstood by Golius; and Freytag has followed him in this case.] b3: التَّوْءَمُ is also [a name of] (assumed tropical:) A certain Mansion [of the Moon; namely, the Sixth; more commonly called الهَنْعَةُ;] pertaining to الجَوْزَآء

(M.) b8: And تَوْءَمَاتٌ, (assumed tropical:) A kind of women's vehicles [borne by camels], (T, K,) like the مَشَاجِر, (T, TA,) erroneously said in the copies of the K to be like the مَشَاجِب, (TA,) having no coverings, or canopies: the sing. is تَوْءَمَةٌ. (T, K.) تَوْءَمِيَّةٌ: see تُؤَامِيَّةٌ.

مُتْئِمٌ Twinning, or bringing forth two at one birth; (S, M, Msb, K;) applied to a mother, (K,) or a woman, (S, M, Msb,) and to any pregnant animal; (M;) without ة.
