1 شَأَوْتُ القَوْمَ ذ , (AZ, S,) aor. شَاُ^َ , (JM, PS,) or شَاَ^َ , (Ham p. 786,) inf. n. شَأْوٌ, (AZ, S, K,) I preceded, or outwent, the people, or party. (AZ, S, K. *) Accord. to [several of] the copies of the K, شَآءَهُ i. e. like شَاعَهُ in measure, which is incorrect, [in other copies ↓ شَآءَاهُ , agreeably with what is said in the S,] signifies He strove, or contended, with him to precede him, or outgo him: or he preceded him, or outwent him: but in the S it is said, شَآءَاهُ, of the measure فَاعَلَهُ, signifies he strove, or contended, with him to precede him, or outgo him: and شَآءَهُ like شَأَاهُ, [the former belonging to art. شوأ and] formed by transposition, signifies he preceded him, or outwent him; and both of these are used by the poet (El-Hárith Ibn-Khálid El-Makhzoomee, TA) in his saying, “ مَرَّ الحُدُوجُ وَمَا شَأَوْنَكَ نَقْرَةً
وَلَقَدْ أَرَاكَ تُشَآءُ بِالأَظْعَانِ
” this [passage in the S], however, is taken from what is said by A'Obeyd, in [his work] “ ElGhareeb el-Musannaf, ” which is as follows: شَآءَنِى الأَمْرُ, like شَاعَنِى [in measure], and شَآنِى, like شَعَانِى, mean the affair, or event, grieved me; and thus in the verse of El-Hárith Ibn-Khálid, which he cites; and the same is said in the T on the authority of IAar, who says that the poet has used two dial. vars.: [accordingly the verse may be rendered, The camels with their saddles upon them passed along and they grieved thee not at all; but I see thee that thou art grieved by the women borne in the camel-vehicles:] it is said in the M, شَآءَنِى الشَّىْءُ means the thing preceded me, or outwent me: and also the thing grieved me: formed by transposition from شَآنِى, as is proved by its having no inf. n.: IAar says that they are two dial. vars. because of his not being a grammarian. (TA.) [See also 8.] -A2- And شَأَوْتُ البِئْرَ, (Lh, TA,) or شأوت مِنَ البِئْرِ, (S,) inf. n. شَأْوٌ, (K, TA,) I drew forth the earth from the well: (S, K: *) or I drew forth a basketful of earth (شَأْوًا) or two basketfuls of earth (شَأْوَيْنِ) from the well. (Lh, TA.)
