Also The bad, or worse, or worst, of cattle: according to J, [in the S,]
شَرْىٌ, [said in the S to be like شَوَى المَالِ,] which is [said to be] a mistake: (K:) but ElBedr El-Karáfee questions it being so: (TA:) and the good, or better, or best, thereof; as also
شَرَاةٌ: thus having two contr. significations: (K:) and so says ISk: but ISd says that إِبِلٌ
شَرَاةٌ, like سَرَاةٌ, means choice camels. (TA.)
