شَبْعَانُ

Satiated, sated, or satisfied in stomach; (S, Msb, * K;) as also ↓ شَابِعٌ, but this is allowable only in poetry: (K:) feminine of the former شَبْعَى, (S, Msb, K,) and شَبْعَانَةٌ (Sgh, K) is sometimes used: (Sgh:) the plural of شبعان and of شبعى is شِبَاعٌ and شَبَاعَى. (TA.) [Hence the saying,] قَوْمٌ إِذَا جَاعُوا كَاعُوا وَتَرَاهُمْ سِبَاعًا إِذَا كَانُوا شِبَاعًا [A people who, when they are hungry, are fearful and cowardly, and thou seest them to be beasts of prey when they are satiated]. (A, TA.)
