Noun

إِنْسَانَة • (ʔinsāna) f

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.
