Correct spelling for the English word "Sejant" is [sˈɛd͡ʒənt], [sˈɛdʒənt], [s_ˈɛ_dʒ_ə_n_t] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
Sejant is an adjective that refers to a specific posture or position typically associated with a seated or sitting animal. It is derived from the French word "sejant," which means "sedentary" or "seated." Used primarily in the field of heraldry to describe animal figures depicted in coats of arms, the term describes an animal that is seated on its haunches with its forelegs extended straight and its hind legs bent, as if ready to spring or pounce.
The posture of an animal depicted as sejant conveys a sense of stability, strength, and control. This position is often used to represent animals associated with nobility, such as lions or griffins, in coats of arms, crests, or other heraldic emblems. As a heraldic term, it specifically distinguishes an animal in a seated position from other postures such as rampant (rearing up) or passant (walking or running).
Beyond heraldry, the term "sejant" can also be used more broadly to describe any animal or creature that is seated or sitting in a similar position. However, its usage in everyday language is relatively rare, and it is primarily reserved for discussions related to heraldry and symbolic representations.
In her., sitting, like a cat, with the fore feet straight.
