Etymology 2

Interrelated with the roots ش ف ط (š-f-ṭ), س ف ف (s-f-f) and ش ف ف (š-f-f) meaning "to take something into one's mouth", "to lick up"; "to render lean or emaciate", "to leave emptied or exhausted"; both roots feature the meaning "to drink up much water". The /ط/ is perhaps a dialectal variant of verb form VIII إشْتَفَّ (ʾištaffa, to drink all that is in a vessel, drinking to last drop, to drink without satisfying thirst; to die, to be drained of one's measure of life).
