ش ه و

شَهَّيْتُهُ [I made him, or caused him, to desire, to long, or to desire eagerly]. (Msb.) ― -b2- [And شهّى It excited desire, longing, eager desire, or appetence. For ex., in art. سمق in the K, يُشَهِّى is said of the سُمَّاق , or berry of the sumach, meaning It excites appetence.] ― -b3- And شهّى الشَّىْءَ He, or it, caused the thing to be desired, longed for, or desired eagerly: made it to be good, sweet, pleasant, or the like. (MA.) One says, هٰذَا شَىْءٌ يُشَهِّى الطَّعَامَ i. e. [This is a thing that causes the food to be desired, &c.; that makes it sweet, &c.; or] that incites to desire, or eager desire, of the food. (S, TA.) ― -b4- [And accord. to an explanation of the inf. n., تَشْهِيَةٌ , in the KL, شهّاهُ seems to signify also He said to him, I will give to thee what thou desirest, longest for, or eagerly desirest; agreeably with a rendering of the verb alone, as on the authority of that work, by Golius.]

شاهاهُ , (K, TA,) inf. n. مُشَاهَاةٌ , (TA,) He was, or became, like him; he resembled him. (K, TA.) -A2- Also He jested, or joked, with him: (IAar, TA:) [and] so هَاشَاهُ . (K in art. هشو .) ― -b2- And accord. to IAar, it is also used in relation to the smiting action of the [evil] eye [perhaps meaning He vied with him in smiting with the evil eye: see also 4]. (TA.)

اشهاهُ He gave him what he desired or eagerly desired. (K.) ― -b2- And He smote him with an [evil] eye: (K:) in this sense [said to be] formed by transposition from أَشَاهَهُ . (TA.) -A2- مَا أَشْهَاهَا اـِلَىَّ means that she is desired, or eagerly desired, [i. e. How great an object of desire is she to me!] as though it were from شُهِىَ , though this was not said: and مَا أَشْهَانِى لَهَا means that thou art desiring, or eagerly desiring, [i. e. How desirous, or eagerly desirous, am I of her!] so says Sb. (TA.)

تشهّى He demanded with repeated desire. (K, TA.) So in the saying, (TA,) تشهّى عَلَى فُلَانٍ كَذَا (S, TA) [He demanded with repeated desire, of such a one, such a thing]. ― -b2- See also what next follows.

اشتهاهُ (S, &c.) He desired it, or longed for it: (Msb:) he loved it; and desired it, or wished for it: (K:) or he desired it eagerly, or intensely: (M in art. فرس : [see an ex. in a poetical citation voce فَرَّسَ :]) and ↓ شَهِيَهُ , (S, Msb, K,) aor. شَهَوَ ; (Msb, K;) as also ↓ شَهَاهُ , aor. شَهُوَ ; (AZ, Msb, K;) inf. n. شَهْوَةٌ (S, TA) and شَاهِيَةٌ , which last is an inf. n. [of a rare class] like عَاقِبَةٌ ; (TA;) signifies the same: (S, Msb, K:) and so does ↓ تشهّاهُ . (K.) [See what next follows.]

شَهْوَةٌ [mentioned above as an inf. n.] is a word of well-known meaning; (S;) Desire, or longing, or yearning, of the soul for a thing; (Er-Rághib, Msb, TA;) [meaning for a thing gratifying to sense: or eager, or intense, desire; particularly for such a thing; for] it has a more intensive signification than اـِرَادَةٌ ; and the intelligent agree in opinion that it is not commendable: (M in art. فرس :) [being either lawful or unlawful, it may be rendered as above: or appetite: or appetence: or lust: or carnal lust:] in the present state of existence, it is of two sorts, صَادِقَةٌ [i. e. true], and كَاذِبَةٌ [i. e. false]; the former being that without which the body becomes in an unsound state, as the شَهْوَة [or desire &c.] for food on the occasion of hunger; and the latter being that without which the body does not become in an unsound state: and sometimes it is applied to the object of desire &c., or thing desired &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) and agreeably with this last explanation the first of the following pls. is used in the Kur iii. 12: (Ksh, Bd, Jel:) sometimes also it is applied to the faculty to which a thing is made an object of desire &c.: (Er-Rághib, TA:) [also, to the gratification of venereal lust; thus in the K in art. شفر ; see شَفِرَتْ and شَفِرَةٌ :] the pl. is شَهَوَاتٌ (Msb, TA) and أَشْهِيَةٌ and شُهًى ; the last mentioned by AHei, and a rare instance of a pl. of the measure فُعَلٌ from a sing. of the measure فَعْلَةٌ having an infirm letter for its last radical, like جُهًى pl. of جَهْوَةٌ [and like قُرًى pl. of قَرْيَةٌ ]. (TA.) [ الشَّهْوَتَانِ means The two appetites, that of the stomach and that of the generative organ.] الشَّهْوَةُ الخَفِيَّةُ [The latent desire &c.] mentioned in a trad. is said to be any act of disobedience which one conceives in his mind, and upon which he resolves: or one's seeing a beautiful young woman, and lowering his eyes, then looking with his heart, and imaging her to his mind, and so tempting himself. (JM.) [ شَهْوَةُ الطِّينِ , lit. The longing for clay, is app. used as a general term for malacia: see حُمَّاضٌ .]

(of the first, Msb) شَهْوَى : (Msb, K, TA:) pl. [of the first] شَهَاوَى , (K, TA,) like سَكَارَى [pl. of سَكْرَانُ ]. (TA.) [See an ex. of the pl. in a verse cited voce جَرْدَبَانٌ .] One says, رَجُلٌ شَهْوَانُ لِلشَّىْءِ [A man desirous &c. of the thing]. (S.)

شَهِىٌّ i. q. ↓ مُشْتَهًى (S, Msb) [i. e. Desired, longed for, or eagerly desired:] or pleasant, delicious, or sweet: (Msb, TA:) applied to food, (S,) and to water. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] أَبُو الشَّهِىِّ (assumed tropical:) The بَرْبَط [or Persian lute]. (KL.) ― -b3- [And Golius adds, as on the authority of a gloss in a copy of the KL, (assumed tropical:) The water-melon (anguria).] -A2- See also شَهْوَانُ .
