and
جَوْعَانُ , but not جَيْعَانُ, [as the vulgar say,] for this a mistake, Hungry; or empty in the belly: or debarred from food and drink: the fem. [of the former] is جَائِعَةٌ and [of the latter] جَوْعَى: and the pl. [of the former] is جُوَّعٌ and جُيَّعٌ, with the و changed into ى, and [of the latter, or perhaps of both,] جِيَاعٌ and جَاعَةٌ (K * in art. سوع) and جَيَاعَى [with the و changed into ى contr. to rule, if this be not a mistake for جِيَاعٌ, in which the و is changed into ى by rule]. You say جَائِعٌ نَائِعٌ; the latter word being an imitative sequent; or, accord. to some, signifying “ thirsty. ” (S, &c., in art. نوع.)
