Viṭṭhala,  Bhaṭṭojī and others think that the word means 'a woman whose thighs press together like hoofs'. But there is not the slightest doubt that the sense of similitude is present here and the word comes within the purview of the previous rule ऊरूत्तरपदादौपम्ये. Or it may mean a woman whose thighs are marked with the sign of hoofs. Sṛiṣṭidhara the commentator of the Bhāṣāvṛitti gives the correct meaning: शफं खुरः । तच्चह्नुयुक्त ऊरूर्यस्याः । शफरः (-री) f.

Vedic Reference

English

 1. Śapha,  ‘hoof, ’ comes to be used to denote the fraction
‘one-eighth, ’ because of the divided hoofs of the cow,  just as
Pāda,  the ‘foot’ of a quadruped,  also means a ‘quarter.’ This
sense in found as early as the Rigveda, ^1 and is not rare later.^2

2) Av. vi. 46,  3
 xix. 57,  1

Saṃhitā,  vi. 1,  10,  1

Oriental Society,  16,  278

 Zimmer, 
Altindisches Leben,  259.

 2. Śapha in the Brāhmaṇa^1 is the name (used in the dual) of
a wooden implement,  acting like a pair of tongs,  for lifting an
iron pot from the fire. It is probably so called because it
resembled a hoof in being divided.
