From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root شمخ. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

شَمَخَ , (S, L, K,) aor. شَمُخَ , inf. n. شُمُوخٌ , (L,) It (a mountain) was high, or lofty. (S, L, K.) ― -b2- Hence, (Har p. 442,) شَمَخَ بِأَنْفِهِ , (S, A, L, K,) and شَمَخَ أَنْفُهُ , aor. and inf. n. as above, (L,) He (a man) magnified, or exalted, himself; was proud; (S, A, L, K;) behaved proudly, or disdainfully; elevated his nose, from pride. (L.) [See also زَمَخَ .]
