Zei symptom, indication,’ from the  zeichen,  zeihhan, ; corresponding to  têkan,  teeken,  tâcn,  token, and the   taikns. A derivative of the Aryan root dī̆g, dī̆k, which appears also in and ; this root with k is contained further in  tœ̂čęan,  to teach ( the g of  dignus, prodigium, and of  δεῖγμα). — ,, ‘to mark, draw, delineate,’ from  zeichenen,  zeihhanen;  ‘to furnish with marks.’   ,, ‘keeper of bees, from the  zîdelœre,  zîdalâri, ; a derivative of  zîdal-,  zîdel-,  in the compound zîdalweida,  zîdelweide, ‘forest in which bees are kept.’ This zîdal (pre- *tîþlo- probably appears also in  tielbär, ‘honey-bear’) does not occur in any other  dialect, but it is not necessary on that account to assume a foreign origin for the word. The word is supposed to have come from territory, where the keeping of bees is widely spread, being based on  bĭčela, ‘keeper of bees’ ; but this derivation is not quite probable. Its connection with ( zîdel-, sîdelbast) and  is equally uncertain.  , ‘to show, point out, demonstrate,’ from zeigen,  zeigôn, , ‘to show, indicate’; a specifically  derivative of the   verbal root tī̆h,. The latter comes from zîhen, , ‘to accuse of, depose concerning,’  zîhan, ‘to accuse'; also  , ‘to pardon,’  verzîhen,  frizîhan, ‘to deny, refuse pardon.’ Based on the Aryan  verbal root dik (for dig see );   diç, ‘to exhibit, produce, direct to,’  δείκνυμι, ‘to show,’  dico, ‘to say.’ The primary meaning of the root is preserved by  and , as well as by  gateihan, ‘to announce, narrate, proclaim, say’;  the compounds  aftîhan,  ofteón, ‘to deny.’ In  the word seems to have acquired a legal sense (  causidicus judex);.  ,, ‘spurge laurel,’ from the  zîlant; scarcely allied to  zîl, ‘briar’; more probably connected with. .   ,, ‘line, row, rank,’ from the  zîle,  zîla,  (late   also ‘lane’). A specifically derivative of the  root tī̆ from which  and  are also derived.   ,, ‘siskin,’ from the  zîsec, usually zîse,. Borrowed, like and, from  ( czyż,  čižek), whence also  ziseke, sieske,  sijsje. siskin, sisgen,  siska.   ,, ‘time, epoch, period, tense,’ from the  and  zit,  and  ( zîd, ); corresponding to  tîd,  tijd,  tîd,  tide (  tij, which is also used of the flow of the sea). The root of tî-di-, ‘time,’ is tî-, as is proved by the   tíme,  tîma,  time (  hweila under ). A corresponding Aryan root dī̆ is presupposed by a-diti, ‘unlimited in time and space, unending, endless’ (the name of the goddess Aditi). Other derivatives of the same root are  and, which also point to the ‘limitless in time or space’. —   ,, ‘meadow saffron,’ from zîtlôse,  zîtilôsa; the name of the plant is due to the fact that it does not bloom at the ordinary period of flowering plants. —   ,, ‘newspaper, gazette,’ from late zîtunge, ‘information, news’;   tijding,  tidings,  tiðende, ‘tidings.’ The evolution of the meaning from the stem of  is not quite clear; , however,  to betide. <section end="Zeitung" /> <section begin="Zelle" /> ,, ‘cell,’ from the  zëlle; formed from  cella. <section end="Zelle" /> <section begin="Zelt" /> ,, ‘tent, pavilion, awning,’ from the  zëlt (more frequently gezëlt),  zëlt (usually gizëlt),. A common word;   gëteld, ‘tent, pavilion, cover’ (hence  tilt),  tjald, ‘curtain, tent.’ From,  taudis, ‘hut’ ( and  toldo, ‘tent’?), is derived;  taudir, ‘to cover,’ points to the    betëldan, ‘to cover, cover over’ ( and  tent is based upon  tente;   tenda, from  tendere). Hence the evolution of meaning of may be easily understood from a  root teld, ‘to spread out covers.’ The following word is allied. <section end="Zelt" /> <section begin="Zelte" /> ,, ‘cake, tablet, lozenge,’ from the  zëlte,  zëlto,. Perhaps derived from the root teld, ‘to spread out’ (see the preceding word). for the meaning. <section end="Zelte" /> <section begin="Zelter" /> ,, ‘palfrey, ambling pace,’ from<section end="Zelter" />
