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).
