shifting while engaged to multiple enemies

Nothing under the various SHIFT descriptions puts limitations on how you shift (ie, it doesn't say shifting can't disengage). I think the wording under DISENGAGING does imply your only option is disengaging, rather than shifting.

ITL p 11 "Shift – A movement of one hex on the game board, in
which you remain adjacent to each foe with whom you
were engaged"
