اشبعهُIV [signifying It satiated him, sated him, or satisfied his stomach,] is said of food and of abundance of drink.
2 أَشْبَعْتُهُ [I satiated him, sated him, or satisfied his stomach; or] I fed him so that he became satiated, sated, or satisfied. And أَشْبَعْتُهُ مِنَ الجُوعِ [I fed him so as fully to relieve him from hunger]. [Hence,] أَشْبَعْتُ الثَّوْبَ مِنَ الصِّبْغِ I saturated the garment, or piece of cloth, with the dye.
3 [Hence also,] اشبعهُ He made it full, without lack or defect, or abundant, or copious. It is said of other things beside substances; as, for instance, of blowing, and of reading or reciting, and of any expression. You say also, سَاقَ فِى هٰذَا المَعْنَى فَصْلًا مُشْبَعًا [He carried on, respecting this idea, a full section]. [And اشبع حَرَكَةً He rendered a vowel full in sound, by inserting after it its analogous letter of prolongation. And such a letter of prolongation is said to be inserted, or added, لِلْإِشْبَاعِ to render the sound full; as in نُكَاتٌ for نُكَتٌ, and أَنْظُورُ for أَنْظُرُ, and مَرَاضِيعُ for مَرَاضِعُ. And إِشْبَاعًا is also used as signifying For the sake of, or by way of, pleonasm, or giving fulness of expression.]
