ش ه ر

شَهَّرَ see above, in three places. [In modern Arabic, شهّر often signifies He paraded an offender as a public example; and it occurs in this sense in the S and TA in art. بلس , &c.: the offender, in this case, is generally mounted upon an ass or a camel, and often with his face towards the animal's tail.]

شاهرهُ , (K,) inf. n. مُشَاهَرَةٌ (S, K) and شِهَارٌ , (K,) He hired him, or took him as a hired man or hireling, for [or by] the month: (Lh, K:) or he made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the month, or month by month: (TA:) المُشَاهَرَةُ from الشَّهْرُ is like المُعَاوَمَةُ from العَامُ . (S, TA.)

أَشْهَرَ see 1. -A2- أَشْهَرْنَا , (S, Msb, * K,) inf. n. اـِشْهَارٌ , (Msb,) A month passed (lit. came) over us. (S, Msb, * K.) And اشهر الصَّبِىُّ [The child became a month old; or] a month passed (lit. came) over the child: similar to أَحْوَلَ , (A,) or to أَحَالَ . (Msb.) And اشهرت الدَّارُ The house became altered, or changed, and months passed over it. (TA in art. حول .) ― -b2- Also We remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, a month in a place. (ISk, S.) ― -b3- And We entered upon the month, i. e., the lunar month. (Th, S.) ― -b4- And اشهرت She (a woman) entered upon the month of her bringing forth. (Msb, K.)

اشتهر It was, or became, apparent, conspicuous, manifest, notorious, notable, commonly known, or public: (S:) or [it generally means] it was, or became, apparent, &c., as bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; it was, or became, exposed as such, or rendered notorious in a bad sense or infamous. (A, K.) It (a story, or discourse,) became divulged, or public. (Msb.) اشتهر بِكَذَا : see 1. -A2- As a trans. verb: see 1 in three places.

شَهْرٌ The new moon, when it appears: (IF, A, Mgh, O, Msb, K:) so called because of its conspicuousness. (Mgh, Msb.) This is the original signification. (Mgh.) [See the last sentence of this paragraph.] You say, رَأَيْتُ الشَّهْرَ , meaning I saw the new moon of the month. (Mgh.) Hence it is said in a trad., صُومُوا الشَّهْرَ , meaning Fast ye the first day of the lunar month. (Lh, TA.) And hence the trad., اـِنَّمَا الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ , meaning The utility of watching for the new moon is on the nine and twentieth night. (L, TA.) [Or the meaning is, that the lunar month is a period of nine and twenty nights.] ― -b2- Also The moon: or the moon when conspicuous, and near to being full. (K.) ― -b3- And [A lunar month;] a certain well-known number of days: so called because made manifest by the moon: (ISd, K:) an arabicized word; or, as some say, Arabic; (Msb;) and so called because of its being manifest: (Msb, TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَشْهُرٌ (Msb, K) and [of mult.] شُهُورٌ . (S, Msb, K.) The following are the modern names of the months: 1. المُحَرَّمُ [to which the epithet الحَرَامُ is often added]: 2. صَفَرٌ [to which the epithet الخَيْرُ is often added]: 3. رَبِيعٌ الأَوَّلُ : 4. رَبِيعٌ الا=خِرُ [or الثَّانِى ]: 5. جُمَادَى الأُولَى : 6. جُمَادَى الا=خِرَةُ [or الثَّانِيَةُ ]: 7. رَجَبٌ [to which is often added the epithet الأَصَمُّ , and that of الفَرْدُ ]: 8. شَعْبَانُ [to which we often find the epithet المُعَظَّمُ added, and sometimes that of الشَّرِيفُ ]: 9. رَمَضَانُ [to which the epithet المُبَارَكُ is appropriated]: 10. شَوَّالٌ [to which the epithet المُكَرَّمُ is frequently added]: 11. ذُو القَعْدَةِ : and 12. ذُو الحِجَّةِ : [see the second of the two tables in p. 1254:] and the following are the names by which they were called by the tribe of 'Ád, agreeably with the foregoing numeration: 1. مُوءْتَمِرٌ : 2. نَاجِرٌ : 3. خَوَّانٌ : 4. بُصَّانٌ [q. v.]: 5. رُبَّى : 6. حَنِينٌ : 7. الأَصَمُّ : 8. عَاذِلٌ : 9. نَاتِقٌ : 10. وَعْلٌ : 11. وَرْنَةُ : and 12. بُرَكٌ [or بُرَكُ ?].

[But authors differ respecting some of these names, as will be seen in other articles.]) أَشْهُرٌ مَعْلُومَاتٌ , said, in the Kur [ii. 193], to be the period of the pilgrimage, for by الحَجُّ , which immediately precedes, is meant وَقْتُ الحَجِّ , (Mgh, Msb,) or زَمَانُ الحَجِّ , (Msb,) applies to Showwál and Dhul-Kaadeh and ten days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh, (Mgh, Msb,) accord. to Aboo-Haneefeh (Mgh) and most of the learned, part of Dhu-l-Hijjeh being called a month tropically, as is often done by the Arabs in similar cases, relating to time; for ex. when they say, مَا رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ يَوْمَانِ , the period of separation having been a day and a part of a day: (Msb:) or [and] nine days of Dhu-l-Hijjeh with the night preceding the day of the sacrifice, accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee: (Mgh:) or [and] all Dhu-l-Hijjeh, accord. to Málik: (Mgh, Msb:) [in these two explanations the two months next preceding being meant to be included:] or Showwál and Dhu-l- Kaadeh and Dhu-l-Hijjeh and Moharram, accord. to Aboo-'Amr Esh-Shaabee. (Msb.) ― -b4- Also (assumed tropical:) A learned man: (O, K:) [because of his celebrity:] pl. شُهُورٌ . (O, TA.) ― -b5- [And accord. to the K, it signifies also The like of a nail-paring: but this is app. a mistake, perhaps originating from a mutilated transcript of what here follows:] a poet says, describing camels, أَبْدَأْنَ مِنْ نَجْدٍ عَلَى ثِقَةٍ وَالشَّهْرُ مِثْلُ قُلَامَةِ الظُّفْرِ [They went forth from Nejd in a state of confidence, the new moon being like the nail-paring]. (O.)

شُهْرَةٌ a subst. from الاِشْتِهَارُ , (Mgh,) signifying The appearance, conspicuousness, manifestness, notoriousness, notableness, or publicity, of a thing: (S, O, Msb:) or [generally] its appearance, &c., as bad, evil, abominable, foul, or unseemly; its notoriousness in a bad sense, or infamousness. (A, K.) ― -b2- Any evil thing that exposes its author to disgrace; any disgraceful, or shameful, thing; a vice, or fault, or the like. (IAar, O, TA.) ― -b3- A dress of the most excellent or superb kind; and one of the vilest or meanest kind: both of which are forbidden. (Mgh.) ― -b4- [It is also used in the sense of مَشْهُورٌ .] One says, جَعَلَهُ شُهْرَةً (tropical:) [He rendered him notorious, either in a bad or in a good sense]. (A.) And صَارَ شُهْرَةً , (K in art. دول ,) i. e. مَشْهُورًا (assumed tropical:) [He became notorious, &c.]; said of a man. (TK in that art.)

بِرْذَوْنٌ شِهْرِىٌّ A برذون [or hackney] between the رَمَكَة [or mare of mean breed] and the horse of generous breed: one says, لَمْ يَرْكَبِ الشِّهْرِيَّةَ and الشَّهَارِىَ [He did not ride hackneys of the sort above mentioned]: (A:) or شِهْرِيَّةٌ signifies بَرَاذِين [or hackneys]; and its pl. is شَهَارٍ : (Mgh:) or a sort of بَرَاذِين [or hackneys]; (Lth, O, K;) a horse of which the dam is Arabian but not the sire.
