شِجْنَةٌ and
شُجْنَةٌ and
شَجْنَةٌ (L, K) in the former sense: (L: [according to the K, apparently, in the latter sense:]) or, according to IAar, one says
شُجْنَةٌ and
شُجْنٌ meaning a branch of a tree, [or the latter apparently means branches, for it seems to be a coll. gen. n.,] and
شِجْنَةٌ and
شِجْنٌ, and [the plural of
شُجْنَةٌ is] شُجْنَاتٌ and شُجُنَاتٌ: (L:) or, according to J, (L,)
شِجْنَةٌ and

شِجْنَةٌ and
شُجْنَةٌ is a branchlet (a
شُعْبَة
of a
غُصْن) of a tree: (L:) or
شِجْنَةٌ signifies tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense, trees. (Msb.)

Also, (K,) or شجنة, (L, [thus written without any syll. signs, perhaps feminine of شَجَنٌ, i. e. شَجَنَةٌ, but it seems to be indicated by the context in the L that it is
شُجْنَةٌ,]) A she-camel compact in make, of which the several parts are interknit, one with another, (L, K, *) like the parts of a tree. (L.)
