شَكِيمَةٌ ذ , in the لِجَام, [The bit-mouth, or mouthpiece of a pit; i. e.] the transverse piece of iron in the mouth of the horse, in which is the فَأْس [q. v.]; (S, K;) as also ↓ شَكِيمٌ : (S:) [see also لِجَامٌ, and مِسْحَلٌ:] or ↓ شَكِيمٌ is pl. of شَكِيمَةٌ, as also شَكَائِمُ and شُكُمٌ, (K, TA,) this last with two dammehs, [but written in the CK شُكْمٌ,] or [rather ↓ شَكِيمٌ is a coll. gen. n., and] شُكُمٌ is said by some to be pl. of شَكِيمٌ, not of شَكِيمَةٌ. (TA.) ― -b2- Hence, [as used in phrases mentioned below,] (TA,) (tropical:) Resistance, or incompliance: (S, TA:) disdain, scorn, or disdainful and proud incompliance or refusal: and self-defence from wrong treatment: (K:) and self-magnification, pride, or haughtiness; syn. شَمَمٌ; السَّمُّ in the copies of the K being a mistake for الشَّمَمُ: (TA:) firmness, strength, or vehemence, of spirit; (TA, and Ham p. 140;) and evilness of nature or disposition: (Ham ibid:) strength of heart: (IAar, TA:) hardiness; courage, or courage and energy; or determination; syn. عَارِضَةٌ: vigorousness, strenuousness, or energy: (TA:) also [simply] nature, or natural disposition; syn. طَبْعٌ.

One says, فُلَآنٌ ذُو شَكِيمَةٍ (tropical:) Such a one is resistant, or incompliant: (S, TA:) or disdainful, or scornful; resistant, unyielding, or incompliant: one who defends himself from wrong treatment: proud: hardy: courageous: one possessing prudence or discretion, or firmness or soundness of judgment. (TA.)
