شَكَّ

is intrans. by itself, and transitive by means of the particle فى:

one says شَكَّ الأَمْرُ, aorist يَشُكُّ [contr. to analogy in the case of an intrans. verb of this class], verbal noun شَكٌّ, The thing, or case, or affair, was, or became, dubious, or confused: (Msb:)

and شَكَّ فِيهِ, (MA, K,) first pers. شَكَكْتُ فيه, (S, Msb,) aorist as above, (JM, PS, &c.,) and so the verbal noun, (MA, &c.,) He doubted, wavered or vacillated in opinion, or was uncertain, respecting it; (MA, Msb, and so according to explanations of شَكٌّ [q. v. infrà] in the S and Msb and K &c.;) synonym اِرْتَابَ; (Msb;) and ↓ تشكّك signifies the same. (S, K.)

شَكَّ عَلَىَّ الأَمْرُ means شَقَّ [i. e. The case, or affair, was difficult, hard, distressing, &c., to me]: (O, TA:) or, as some say, [was such that] I doubted (شَكَكْتُ) respecting it. (TA.)

-A2- شَكَّ said of a camel, (IAar, S, K,) aorist and verbal noun as above, (S,) He limped, or halted; or had a slight lameness, (IAar, S, TA,) of his hind leg: (IAar, TA:) or his arm stuck to his side, (K, TA,) and he had a slight lameness in consequence thereof: (TA:) and ↓ اشتكّ, likewise said of a camel, he had a slight lameness; (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TA;) like شَكَّ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.)

شَكٌّ also signifies The cleaving or sticking [of a thing to another thing]. (S, O, TA.) So in a verse of Aboo-Dahbal El-Jumahee cited voce يَلَبٌ. (S.) And one says, شَكَّتِ الرَّحِمُ The relationship was, or became, closely united. (O, TA. [See رَحِمٌ شَاكَّةٌ, voce شَاكٌّ.])

شَكَّ فِى السِّلَاحِ, (K, TA,) aorist and verbal noun as above, (TA,) He put on [or around him,] or attired himself with, the arms, or weapons, completely, not leaving any of them; (TA;) [as though] he entered amid them. (K, TA.)

-A3- شَكَكْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, (S, O, Msb, in the K شَكَّهُ,) and بِالسَّهْمِ, and the like, aorist as above, (TA,) and so the verbal noun, (Msb, TA,) I pierced, or transpierced, him, or it, (طَعَنْتُهُ, Msb, or خَزَقْتُهُ, O, and in like manner in the TA, but in my copies of the S خَرَقْتُهُ [meaning I made a hole in him, or it], and thus in one place in the TA, and اِنْتَظَمْتُهُ, S O, and in like manner in the K,) with the spear, (S, O, Msb, K,) and with the arrow, &c.: (TA:) but IDrd says that, according to some, شَكٌّ is only by the conjoining two things with an arrow or a spear: (O, TA:) [thus,] فَشَكَّ رِجْلَهُ مَعَ رِكَابِهِ means And he clave and transpierced his leg, or foot, together with his stirrup. (Mgh.)

[Hence,] شَكَكْتُ إِلَيْهِ البِلَادَ I traversed, or crossed, or cut through, the countries, or districts, to him. (O, TA.)

And شُكَّ عَلَيِه الثَّوْبُ The garment was put [or drawn] together upon him, and fastened with a thorn or a wooden pin: or was let down, or made to hang down, upon him. (TA.)

شَكُّوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They placed their tents in one row, or series, (O, Msb, K,) in one regular order, (T, TA,) near together. (Msb.)

Hence; شَكُّوا الأَرْحَامَ They made the relationships to be closely connected. (Msb.) And شُكَّ He was made, or asserted, to be connected with the lineage of another. (IAar, O.)

And شَكَكْتُهُ said of anything means I drew and joined, or adjoined, it [to another thing]. (Msb.) [And I infixed it in, or thrust it into, another thing.]

مَا شَكَّ كَفِى خَلِيلُهَا, [or, more probably, ما شُكَّ,] a phrase in a verse of El-Farezdak,] in which it forms an apodosis,] means مَا قَارَنَ [i. e., apparently, Its friend (the sword, or the spear, both of which are meanings of الخَلِيل,) would not be conjoined (or grasped) with my hand]. (TA.)

شَكَّ الثَّوْبَ He (the sewer) made the stitch-holes far apart [in sewing the garment, or piece of cloth]. (O, TA.) [Thus the verb has two contr. meanings.]

-A4- شَكِكْتُ إِلَيْهِ, with kesr, and شَكِكْتُهُ, (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, and so in the K according to the TA, as also in the TK, in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K شَكَكْتُهُ and اليه,) I inclined to him, or it; or trusted to, or relied upon, him, or it, so as to be, or become, easy, or quiet, in mind; or leaned, rested, or relied, upon him, or it; synonym رَكَنْتُ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.)
