1. ⇒ شوأ

شَآءَنِى, formed by transposition from شَآنِى, aor. يَشُوْءُ and يَشِىْءُ, [but the latter form of the aor. is disallowed by MF,] He preceded me, or outwent me. (Ḳ.)

Root: شوأ - Entry: 1. Dissociation: B

And He grieved me. (Ḳ.)

Root: شوأ - Entry: 1. Signification: B2

And He pleased me. (Ḳ.) Thus it bears two contr. significations. (TA.) And شُؤْتُهُ, aor. أَشُوْؤُهُ, I pleased him. (Lth, O.)

Root: شوأ - Entry: 1. Signification: B3

And شُؤْتُ بِهِ I was pleased with, and rejoiced in, him, or it. (Lth, O, Ḳ.) [See also art. شأو.]


شَآءٌ

شَآءٌ, n. un. شَاةٌ: see art. شوه.


شَيِّآنٌ

شَيِّآنٌ, (Ḳ, TA, and L in art. تيح,) in form like the dual of سَيِّدٌ [except as to the final vowel], (TA,) [erroneously written in the CK شَيْئاٰن,] and شَيَّآنٌ, like تَيِّحَانٌ and تَيَّحَانٌ [q. v.], (L in art. تيح,) [applied to a man,] Far-sighted; (Ḳ;) either in the proper sense, or metonymically applied to a man characterized by deliberation, and reflection, and looking to the results of affairs. (TA.) Each is also applied as an epithet to a horse. (L in art. تيح.) [The radical letters of this epithet are either شوأ or شيأ; therefore it is mentioned again in art. شيأ; and another form thereof, without ء, (شَيَّان,) is mentioned in art. شوى.]
