ܓܘܓ
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic
Etymology
Possibly from a variant of Aramaic זְוַּע (zəwaʿ) with an initial /z/ resulting in /j/. See also ܙܵܝܹܥ (zāyēʿ, “to move”). Probably related to the several verbs and roots found in several dialects: ܙܵܕܹܥ (zādēʿ, “to fear”), ܫܵܓ݂ܹܫ (šāḡēš, “to be disturbed”), ܫܵܘܹܫ (šāwēš, “to be anxious”), ܫܵܥܹܫ (šāʿēš, “to shake”), ܒܲܓ̰ܒܸܓ̰ (bajbij, “to crawl, slide”), ܓ݂ܲܓ̰ܓܸܓ̰ (ḡajgij, “to crawl, creep”). A similar form is found in Classical Syriac ܓܘܓ (“to creep, wriggle”). Compare also in Hebrew זָז (záz, “to move”).
