Suffering from indigestion, or heaviness of the stomach arising from food which it is too weak to digest: (JK, K:) and زهمان with damm [i. e. ↓ زُهْمَانٌ, with tenween, for, as is said in the S (voce عُرْيَانٌ), a word of the measure فُعْلَان has its fem. with ة meaning, if an epithet,] signifies [the same, or] satiated, sated, or satisfied in stomach; as also ↓ زُهْمَانِىٌّ.

(Z cited by Freytag ubi suprà.)
