شَحْنَةٌ

شَحْنَةٌ [thus written, with fet-ḥ to the ش, but I incline to think that it is correctly شِحْنَةٌ↓,] The contents of a ship, that fill it. (L.)

Root: شحن - Entry: شِحْنَةٌ Signification: A2

may be, accord. to him, an inf. n. of شَحَنَ, or an extr. pl. of شِحْنَةٌ: (L:) [but I rather think that it is a pl. ofشَاحِنٌ↓, like as شُهُودٌ is of شَاهِدٌ; and accordingly I would render the verse (which evidently relates to ships) thus: They kept close in the port, then they left it, and laders had persisted in contention by reason of their burdens, i. e. the burdens of the ships, because of the labour that they occasioned.]
