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”).
