[of the former] is سَوَانِحُ and سَانِحَاتٌ and [of either] سُنُحٌ: and this last is also employed to signify auspicious and inauspicious gazelles [&c.], accord. to the different opinions of the Arabs. (L.) The Arabs [who apply the epithet in the latter of the two senses first explained] regard the سَانِح as a good omen, and the بَارِح as an evil omen; (Aboo-'Amr  Esh-Sheybánee, S, L;) because one cannot shoot at the latter without turning himself: (S in art. برح:) but some of them hold the reverse of this: (Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, L:) the people of Nejd hold the سانح to be a good omen; but sometimes a Nejdee adopts the [contr.] opinion of the Hijázee. (IB, TA,) It is said in a prov., مَنْ لِى بِالسَّانِحِ بَعْدَ البَارِحِ [expl. in art. برح]. (S, K.) b2:  [It is said in Har p. 671 that السَّانِحُ also signifies المتطيّر المتفاّل, as though meaning The person auguring, or who augurs, evil or good, from birds: but I think that the right reading is المُتَطَيَّرُ بِهِ وَالمُتَفَأَّلُ بِهِ مِنَ الطُّيُورِ, i. e. what is regarded as an evil omen and as a good omen, of birds.]
