1 سَكَّ الشَّىْءَ ذ , aor. سَكُ3َ , (TA,) inf. n. سَكٌّ, (K, TA,) i. q. سَدَّهُ [i. e. He closed or closed up, or he stopped or stopped up, or repaired, and made firm or strong, the thing]. (K, * TA.) [In the place of سَدُّالشَّىْءِ, the explanation of the inf. n. accord. to the reading in the TA, we find in the CK شَدُّ الشَّىْءِ: and it seems that شَدَّهُ is a correct meaning of سَكَّهُ; for it is said that] from مَسْكُوكٌ as signifying مَشْدُودٌ is the post-classical phrase سَكُّ الأَبْوَابِ [i. e. The making fast of doors]. (TA.) [In the present day, سَكَّ البَابَ, aor. and inf. n. as above, means He locked, and he bolted, the door.] ― -b2- And سَكَّهُ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, K, TA,) He clamped it (ضَبَّبَهُ) with iron; namely, a door, (S, K, TA,) and wood. (TA.) -A2- Also سَكَّهُ, aor. as above, (S, TA,) and so the inf. n., (K, TA,) He cut off his ears. (S, K, * TA.) -A3- سَكَّ بِمَا فِى بَطْنِهِ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth what was in his belly; (K, * TA;) muted, or dunged; (TA;) said of an ostrich: (K, TA:) and so سَجَّ. (TA.) And سَكَّ بِسَلْحِهِ, (AA, TA,) inf. n. as above, (K, TA,) He cast forth his excrement, or ordure, (AA, K, TA,) in a thin state; (AA, * K, TA;) as also زَكَّ, (AA, TA,) and هَكَّ. (TA.) And هُوَ يَسُكُّ, inf. n. as above, He voids thin excrement or ordure; (As, S, TA;) as also يَسُجُّ, inf. n. سَجٌّ. (As, TA.) And أَخَذَهُ سَكُّ [He was taken with a looseness of the bowels;] he had thin evacuations of the bowels; expl. by قَعَدَ مَقَاعِدَ رِقَاقًا: and أَخَذَهُ سَكٌّ فِى بَطْنِهِ [signifies the same; or] his bowels became loose; as also سَجٌّ; so says Yaakoob; and he asserts it to be formed by substitution; but which of the two is so formed is unknown. (TA.) ― -b2- سَكَّ فِى الأَرْضِ He went at random in the land, or country, not knowing whither to go, and was perplexed. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.
