And a bird sips, it sips, a 'nagban': it takes a sip of water; it is not said that it drank.

وَ نَغِبَ الإِنْسَانُ فِي الشُّرْبِ، يَنْغَبُ، نَغْبًا، بِضَمِّ النُّونِ وَفَتْحِ الْغَيْنِ، جَرْعًا وَكَذَلِكَ الْحِمَارُ.

النَّغْبَةُ، بِالْفَتْحِ: الْجَرْعَةُ، وَيُضَمُّ.

The 'nagbah', with fatha: is a gulp, and it can also be with damma.

وَ عِبَارَةُ الصِّحَاحِ: النَّغْبَةُ، بِالضَّمِّ: الْحَرْعَةُ، وَقَدْ يُفْتَحُ، وَالْجَمْعُ: النَّغَبُ، أَيْ: بِضَمِّ فَفَتْحٍ.

And the wording of Al-Sihah: The 'nagbah', with damma: is a gulp, and it can be opened (with fatha), and the plural is 'al-nagab', meaning: with damma then fatha.

حَتَّى إِذَا زَلَجَتْ عَنْ كُلِّ حَنْجَرَةٍ إِلَى الْغَلِيلِ وَلَمْ يُقْصِعْنَهُ نَغَبُ

Until it slid from every throat to quench the thirst, and the gulps did not satisfy it.

نَغِبْتُ مِنَ الْإِنَاءِ، بِالْكَسْرِ، نَغْبًا، أَيْ: جَرَعْتُ مِنْهُ جَرْعًا، أَوْ الْفَتْحُ لِلْمَرَّةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ، وَالضَّمُّ لِلِاسْمِ

I gulped from the container, with kasra, a 'nagban', meaning: I took gulps from it, or the fatha is for a single instance, and the damma is for the noun.
