Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

[שָׁנַס] verb Pi`el gird up (si vera lectio; in Talmud (Aramaic) שְׁנַץ = bind sandals; Late Hebrew שֶׁנֶץ thong); — Imperfect 3 masculine singular וַיְשַׁנֵּס מָתְנָיו וַיָּ֫רָץ 1 Kings 18:46.

שְׁנָת Psalm 132:4 see שֵׁנָה.

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

שָׁנַס not used in Kal; perhaps to force, to bind together; kindred to אָנַס (the aspirate and sibilant being interchanged). Chald. שְׁנַץ, שְׁנָץ thongs. More remote is the Arab. شنص to be infolded, to adhere.

Piel, שִׁנֵּס to gird up (the loins) 1 Kings 18:46. So all the ancient versions, as required by the context.
