1 شَنَفْتُ إِِلَى الشَّىْءِ ذ , (S,) aor. شَنِفَ , (O, Msb,) inf. n. شَنْفٌ, (S, O, K,) I looked in a state of opposition, or resistance, (فِى ا@عْتِرَاضٍ,) at the thing; like شَفَنْتُ: (S, O: *) or الشَّنْفُ signifies the looking at a thing, (O,) or the looking at a thing like him who is opposing it, or resisting it, (كَالمُعْتَرِضِ عَلَيْهِ, K, TA,) and the raising of the eyes in looking at a thing, (TA,) like him who wonders at it, or like him who dislikes it, or hates it; (O, K, TA;) and so الشَّفْنُ, as AZ says. (TA.) [See also 2.] -A2- شَنِفَ لَهُ, (S, O, K,) and بِهِ also, or, correctly, accord. to ISd, this verb is trans. in the sense here next following without any particle, (TA,) [but two exs. are cited in the O from trads. in which it is trans. by means of ل,] aor. شَنَفَ , (S, K,) inf. n. شَنَفٌ, (S, O,) He hated him, (أَبْغَضَهُ,) and met him in a morose manner: (S, O, K: [in the K, the latter meaning is expressed by تَنَكَّرَهُ, for تَنَكَّرَ لَهُ: in the S and O, the former meaning is expressed as above, on the authority of ISk; and it is also said that الشَّنْفُ is syn. with البُغْضُ and التَّنَكُّرُ:] in the former of these two senses it is like شَئِفَهُ, with ': (S, O:) or الشنف [i. e. الشَّنَفُ] is a subst. signifying vehemence of enmity. (Ham p. 108.) ― -b2- And شَنِفَ لَهُ, (IAar, ISd, O, * K, TA,) and بِهِ, (ISd, TA,) i. q. فَطِنَ [i. e. He knew it; knew, had knowledge, or was cognizant, of it; or knew it instinctively; &c.]. (IAar, ISd, O, K, TA.) -A3- And شَنِفَ, (K, TA, [in the former of which it is erroneously implied that the verb is followed by لَهُ,]) His upper lip turned upwards; (K, TA;) inf. n. شَنَفٌ; (TA;) or this is a subst., signifying a turning upwards of the upper lip: so says AZ. (O.)
