إِنْسَانَة (ʔinsānaf

  1. (proscribed) feminine of إِنْسَان (ʔinsān)
    • 1410, Fairuzabadi, القاموس المحيط:
      وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ إِنْسَانٌ وَبِٱلْهَاءِ عَامِّيَّةٌ وَسُمِعَ فِي شِعْرٍ كَأَنَّهُ مُوَلَّدٌ
      wal-marʔatu ʔinsānun wabi-l-hāʔi ʕāmmiyyatun wasumiʕa fī šiʕrin kaʔannahu muwalladun
      For a woman, it is likewise ʾinsān or, vulgarly, with -ah, though it is heard in poetry, apparently a formation by the Arabized.
