, (S, O, TA,) and ↓ شَرِسٌ, (S, [both of these forms I find in my two copies of the S, the former in a poetical example, and therefore it may perhaps be contraction of the latter by poetic license,]) and ↓ شَرَاسٌ, (TA,) A place that is rugged, or rough, (S, O, TA,) and hard: or, as in the M, rough to the fell. (TA.) And أَرْضٌ ↓ شَرْسَاءُ, and ↓ شَرَاسٍ, and ↓ شَرَاسٌ, (O, K, TA, [the last written by Freytag شُرَّاسٌ,]) Land that is rugged, or rough, (O,) or hard, (K,) or hard and rugged or rough. (TA.)
