Core sense — it rose high; he reiterated the sound of weeping in his chestgenerated

1.1

.

It rose high, or became high, elevated, or lofty. Said of a mountain, of a building, and the like — see شَاهِقٌ.

1.1.1said of an ass, [he uttered the ending of his braying]شَهَقَ

Muḍāriʿ شَهَقَ and شَهِقَ; maṣdar شَهِيقٌ and تَشْهَاقٌ.

شَهِيقٌ means the ending, or final part, of the crying or braying of the ass, and the cries of the punished in Hell are likened to it in the Qur'ān 11:108; زَفِيرٌ means the beginning, or commencing part, of it.

Or شهيق means the drawing back of the breath, and زفير the emitting of it — but the reverse is said by Lth and in the S under زفر.

تَشْهَاقٌ means the same as شَهِيقٌ; or both words mean, without restriction, the crying or braying of the ass.

Zj says that شَهِيقٌ, as one of the cries of the afflicted in Hell, means a very high-sounding moaning; and that, according to some, زَفِيرٌ as used in the Qur'ān in the place just cited is like the beginning of the cry of the ass, which is termed شَهِيق; and that شَهِيقٌ is in the chest.
