أَشْفَفْتُهُمْ

I preferred them, or judged them to excel. (K.) You say, أَشْفَفْتُ بَعْضَ وَلَدِى عَلَى بَعْضٍ I preferred some of my children above some. (S. [And the like is said in the Mgh.]) And أَشْفَفْتُ هٰذَا عَلَى هٰذَا I preferred this above this. (Msb.)

And اشفّ فُلَانٌ الدِّرْهَمَ Such a one made the dirhem to exceed: or, made it to fall short. (TA.)

-A2- أَشَفَّ عَلَيْهِ [if not a mistranscription for أُشِفَّ, which I rather think it to be,] He excelled him, or surpassed him. (TA.)

-A3- أَشَفَّ الفَمُ The mouth had in it a fetid odour. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA.)
