شِسْعٌ (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.) and شِسِعٌ (Ḳ) andشِسْعَنٌّ↓, so in some of the copies of the Ḳ, (TA,) [thus in my MṢ. copy of the Ḳ, and also in the O,] with an augmentative ن, (O, TA,) The قِبَال of the sandal; (Ḳ;) [i. e.] the appertenance of the sandal that is attacked, or tied, to its زِمَام; (Ṣ;) [meaning] one of the thongs, or straps, or strips of leather, of the sandal, being that which passes between two toes, of which the [lower] end enters the hole, or perforation, that is in the fore part of the sandal, and which is attacked [at its upper end] to the زِمَام [or, as it is also called, the شِرَاك, a thong, or strap, or strip of leather, extending towards the ankle, and having two arms, (its عَضُدَانِ,) which are attacked to the أُذُنَانِ (q. v.), or pass through these and unite behind the foot]: (IAth, TA:) a poet says, referring to camels,

[a pl. of pauc.] occurs in the saying of ʼObeyd Ibn-Eiyoob El-'Amberee,

* يُدِيرُ نَعْلَيْهِ لِئَلَّا تُعْرَفَا *

* يَجْعَلُ أَشْسَاعَهُمَا نَحْوَ القَفَا *

[He turns round his sandals, in order that they may not be known by their prints upon the ground; putting the interdigital thongs thereof in the direction of the back of the neck]. (O, TA.)

[Hence,] قِبَالُ الشِّسْعِ signifies † The serpent; mentioned by IAạr with قِبَالُ الشِّبْرِ. (TA.)

And شِسْعٌ also signifies † The extremity of a place. (O, Ḳ.) One says, حَلَلْنَا شِسْعَ الدَّهْنَآءِ † [We alighted in the extremity of the sandy desert, or of the desert called Ed-Dahnà]. (O.)

(O.)

And ‡ The greater portion or number of property or cattle. (El-Mufaddal, O, Ḳ, TA.) Thus it has two contr. [?] significations. (Ḳ.) One says, ذَهَبَ شِسْعُ مَالِهِ ‡ The greater portion of his property, or the greater number of his cattle, went, or passed, away. (El-Mufaddal, O, TA.)

شَاسِعٌ A man having his شِسْع broken. (O, Ḳ.)

Also Distant, or remote; and soشَسُوعٌ↓: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) both applied to a place of alighting, or abode: (O, Ḳ:) pl. [of either, irreg.,] شُسْعٌ. (Ḳ.)
