I. זִיז noun masculine^{Ps 80:14} collective moving things (i.e. beasts) (etymology & exact meaning still rather dubious, compare Che^{OP 472} and on Ps 50:11 Thes and others √ זוז; De Ps 50:11 compare Assyrian zizânu , collective reptiles, Dl^{S. 74 f.} from a זִאזֵא compare [untranscribed source text 1437] move to and fro, agitate (compare זוע); others compare Assyrian zâzu , abundance see II. זוז , so even Di Isa 66:11 this hardly suits Ps 80:14 ᵑ7 זִיזָא worm);

on Assyrian zîzê , teats, see RFHarper^{AJSL xiv (1897-1898), 174}. — only construct זִיז שָׂדַי Ps 50:11 the moving things of the field, as all known to ׳ י (|| עוֺף הָרִים; also in Ps 50:10 חַיְתוֺיָֿ֑עַר, etc.); figurative of enemies of Israel Ps 80:14 (|| חֲזִיר מִיָּ֑עַר).

BDB2314

II. זִיז noun [masculine] abundance, fulness: only מִזִּיז כְּבוֺדָהּ Isa 66:11 that ye may suck out and be delighted, from the abundance of her glory (i.e. of Jerusalem) (so Di and others; > Che^{critical note,
and OP 472 f.} Brd (compare Ew 'Euter'), who compare vulgar Arabic zîza , udder (breast, teat); this suits verb תָּמֹצּוּ and || תִּינְקוּ וּשְׂבַעְתֶּם מִשֹּׁד, but is dubious in Hebrew, perhaps not Shemitic, see Dozy^{i. 619 a and references}; also Lag^{Proph. Chald.} who proposes, plausibly, מִבִּיזִ, compare Aramaic [untranscribed source text 1438] PS⁵⁰², ביזא; Arabic [untranscribed source text 1439] pap).
