شُرَكِىٌّ ذ and شُرَّكِىٌّ A quick, or swift, pace: (K:) so says ISd. (TA.) And لَطْمٌ شُرَكِىٌّ A quick and consecutive slapping, (S, O, K,) like the camel's slapping when a thorn has entered his foot and he beats the ground with it with a consecutive beating. (S, * O.) Ows Ibn-Hajar says, “ وَمَا أَنَ إِِلَّا مُسْتَعِدٌّ كَمَا تَرَى
أَخُو شُرَكِىِّ الوِرْدِ غَيْرُ مُعَتِّمِ
” [And I am none other than one who is ready, as thou seest; one in the habit of quick and consecutive coming to water; not one who is dilatory]: i. e., one coming to water time after time, consecutively: he means, I will do to thee what thou dislikest, not delaying to do that. (S.)
