How to say "to be full, sated" in Arabic

shabiʿa is שבע, letter for letter — though the ش here matches Hebrew שׂ (sin), not the שׁ (shin) of שלום. Proto-Semitic had more sibilants than either language keeps apart today, and the two sorted them differently: Arabic ش continues the old sound Hebrew writes שׂ, while Hebrew שׁ answers Arabic س or ث. Arabic shabʿān (full, satisfied) is Hebrew's own שבע.
