شَجٍ ذ (assumed tropical:) Grieving, mourning, or lamenting; or sorrowing, sad, or unhappy; applied to a man; (S, Msb;) and شَجِيَةٌ, of the measure فَعِلَةٌ, applied to a woman: one says, وَيْلٌ لِلشَّجِى مِنَ الخَلِىِّ [mentioned and expl. voce خَالٍ, in art. خلو, where each of these epithets is written with teshdeed to the ى; and likewise in another saying there mentioned]: (S:) or, in this saying, (TA,) it signifies occupied [by anxiety or grief]; (K, TA; [in the CK, الشَّجا is erroneously put for الشَّجِى;]) and خَلِىّ means “ free [therefrom]: ” so says AZ: and in this instance الشَّجِى may mean occupied by a bone choking, or obstructing, his throat, or fauces, or by anxiety, and not having found a way of escape therefrom; or by his opponent, or adversary, whom he has been unable to withstand: (TA:) and sometimes one says ↓ شَجِىٌّ , like as one says حَزِنٌ and حَزِينٌ; though this is rare; (Msb;) it is mentioned in the 'Eyn; but شَجٍ is more known; and is said by Az to be the chaste form: (TA:) Mbr says, the ى of الخلى is with teshdeed, and the ى of الشَّجِى is without teshdeed, (S,) and sometimes this ى is with teshdeed in poetry; (S, K;) but if you make it to be from شَجَاهُ, it is ↓ شَجِىٌّ only, syn. with مَشْجُوٌّ. [i. e. grieved, &c.]; (S;) and so it is said to be by Az and Z: and Az adds, the second way of accounting for it is, that they often lengthen فَعِلٌ with a ى, saying, فُلَانٌ قَمِنٌ لِكَذَا and قَمِينٌ, and سَمِجٌ and سَمِيجٌ, and كَرٍ and كَرِىٌّ: and the third way is, that they assimilated one word in measure to another, as in الغَدَايَا وَالعَشَايَا, the [proper] pl. of غَدَاةٌ being only غَدَوَاتٌ.
