Good point. Both qualities have lower and higher levels but generally:

Sapient = can reason, plan, use higher logic, is self-aware

Sentient = can feel and yearn and fear

Sapiosentient or Sentiosapient = can both reason and feel. But is not necessarily human, or we would just call them humans or people or persons.
