stir, move about
In zoos or biological gardens one finds many a
zoion, animal in Greek. They are so named because they are ZOOID,
capable of moving. Za[K]h, ZOOZ and ZeeY[A]h all mean movement.
"Mordecai did not rise or even stir on (Haman's) account…"
Z[A]h - Esther5:9. If ZOON or zoion derives from a
generic animal term, consider צאן T S SOaN (small cattle, sheep, goats, etc. - Genesis4:2).
These mobile animals are צעה TS[A]haH, wander for plunder Lexicon, that is, the
typical wander (Jeremiah 48:12 KJV) or movement in foraging characteristic
of all animals. זיז ZeeYZ (abundance, fullness Isaiah
66:11), also refers to anything alive and moving (Psalms 50:11) as in ZOOLOGY
(from Greek zoe, life).
There are over 60
words beginning or ending with the Greek root. Z[A]hZ[A]yah or ZGHaGHayah
means to shake, and is the source of SHAKE. Za[K]HaL is to crawl (see SLUG)
maintains that ZOO may be traced to the Indo-European root g(w)ei
(to live). Thrown in the same menagerie with ZOO are so-called cognates like
AMPHIBIAN, BIOLOGY, HYGIENE see HYGIENE-- MICROBE, QUICK, REVIVE,
SURVIVE and VIVID (see VIVA). [K]HaiY is life; the verb form is similar.
[K]HaYaH is a beast or creature. Kai means life force in Japanese.
could be an etymon for
SEA, if we would name the ocean for its tumultuous movement, while the Zayin
etymon at OCEAN focuses on saltly liquid. A fricative-guttural ע (the harsh
Ayin) word for movement could be behind Chinese tsuk,stir.
Esther 5:9 ויצא המן ביום ההוא שׂמח וטוב לב וכראות המן את־מרדכי בשׁער המלך ולא־קם ולא־זע ממנו וימלא המן על־מרדכי חמה׃
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, Haman was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Habakkuk 2:7 הלוא פתע יקומו נשׁכיך ויקצו מזעזעיך והיית למשׁסות למו׃
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee, and awake that shall violently shake thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
