(TA.) And شَكَمَ فَاهُ بِالإِتَاوَةِ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [He stopped (lit. bitted) his mouth] with the bribe. (TA in art. اتو.) And فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ أَمْرًا فَشَكَمْتُهُ (assumed tropical:) Such a one did a thing, or performed an affair, and I settled, or established, it. (Lth, TA.) And شَكَمَهُ, (S, K,) aor. as above, (S,) and so the inf. n.; (K;) and ↓ اشكمهٌ; (Th, K;) He repaid, requited, compensated, or recompensed, him; (S, K; *) or gave him what is termed شُكْم [q. v.]: (K:) he gave him his hire, or pay.

[ expl. by Golius as meaning “ Malitia indolis, contumacia, ” as on the authority of the KL, is app. a mistake for شَكَاسَةٌ, which I find expl. in the KL as signifying the “ being evil in nature, or natural disposition, ” but not شكامة. Freytag explains it as meaning also Likeness; a signification of شَكِيمَةٌ, also mentioned by him; but for this he names no authority, and I know of none.]

A lion: (K:) expl. in this sense as occurring in a verse of Aboo-Sakhr El-Hudhalee: or, accord. to Skr, as there used, quickly, or soon, angry; or violently angry. (TA.)

See شَكِيمَةٌ.

, in the لِجَام, [The bit-mouth, or mouthpiece of a pit; i. e.] the transverse piece of iron in the mouth of the horse, in which is the فَأْس [q. v.]; (S, K;) as also ↓ شَكِيمٌ: (S:) [see also لِجَامٌ, and مِسْحَلٌ:] or ↓ شَكِيمٌ is pl. of شَكِيمَةٌ, as also شَكَايءِمُ and شُكُمٌ, (K, TA,) this last with two dammehs, [but written in the CK شُكْمٌ,] or [rather ↓ شَكِيمٌ is a coll. gen. n., and] شُكُمٌ is said by some to be pl. of شَكِيمٌ, not of شَكِيمَةٌ. (TA.) Hence, [as used in phrases mentioned below,] (TA,) (tropical:) Resistance, or incompliance: (S, TA:) disdain, scorn, or disdainful and proud incompliance or refusal: and self-defence from wrong treatment: (K:) and self-magnification, pride, or haughtiness; syn. شَمَمٌ; السَّمُّ in the copies of the K being a mistake for الشَّمَمُ: (TA:) firmness, strength, or vehemence, of spirit; (TA, and Ham p. 140;) and evilness of nature or disposition: (Ham ibid:) strength of heart: (IAar, TA:) hardiness; courage, or courage and energy; or determination; syn. عَارِضَةٌ: vigorousness, strenuousness, or energy: (TA:) also [simply] nature, or natural disposition; syn. طَبْعٌ. (K, TK: in the CK الطَّبَعُ is [erroneously] put in the place of الطَّبْعُ.) One says, فُلَانٌ ذُو شَكِيمَةٍ (tropical:) Such a one is resistant, or incompliant: (S, TA:) or disdainful, or scornful; resistant, unyielding, or incompliant: one who defends himself from wrong treatment: proud: hardy: courageous: one possessing prudence or discretion, or firmness or soundness of judgment.

And فُلَانٌ شَدِيدُ الشَّكِيمَةِ, meaning [in like manner] (tropical:) Such a one is firm, strong, or vehement, of spirit; (S, TA, and Ham p. 140;) disdainful, or scornful; resistant, unyielding, or incompliant; (S, K, TA;) so says ISk: (TA:) or, as some say, one possessing strength, or vehemence, of tongue; and perspicuity, or eloquence, of speech or language; or perspicuity of speech with quickness, or sharpness, of intellect; and much hardiness, or courage, or courage and energy, or determination. (Ham p. 140.) Also (assumed tropical:) Likeness, or resemblance. (K.) And (assumed tropical:) A compact, or covenant; syn. عَهْدٌ: (K, TA:) in some copies of the K, الفَهْدُ is erroneously put for العَهْدُ. (TA.)

(S, K, &c.) and ↓ شُكْمَى; (K;) of the latter, ISd says, “ I think it to be a dial. var., but I am not certain of it; ” (TA;) A repayment, requital, compensation, or recompense; (El-Umawee, A' Obeyd, S, K;) and شُكْبٌ is a dial. var. thereof: (TA:) when the gift is initial, it is termed شُكْدٌ: (S:) or a substitute; or thing given, received, put, or done, by way of replacement or exchange: (Ks, TA:) and (K) a gift; (As, K, TA;) as also شُكْدٌ; (As, TA;) or the latter signifies a gift without compensation: (TA:) or شُكْمٌ signifies a benefaction, bounty, or gratuity; syn. نُعْمَى.
