Zim ( κώναμον). For the Romance term see.  ,, ‘prim. prudish, affected,’ a form for the genuine  ;   zimperlije, usually simpellje,  to, , and   simper, semper, ‘fastidious,’  to simper.  ,, ‘light taffeta,’ from the  zindâl, zëndâl; from  cendalum ( σίνδων, ‘fine linen,’  ‘Indian stuff’), whence  zendado, and zendale.   ,, ‘stone wall, palisade,’ from zingel, , ‘rampart,’ whence  , ‘to encircle, surround’ ( zingeln, ‘to make an entrenchment’), formed like  cingulus, cingere.   , and, ‘zinc,’  only; certainly connected with. It has been thought that, ‘tin,’ when borrowed by was extended by a  suffix k, with which as zink it passed again into  (whence  zinc). Other etymologists assume a connection with the following word, because tin when melting forms spikes.   ,, ‘spike, prong,’ from the  zinke,  zinko,. How the  zint,  tindr, and   are connected with this word is not clear. Late zinke (and zint), as a designation of a wind instrument (cornet), has been preserved in.   ,, ‘tin,’ from the  and  zin, ; corresponding to , , , and  tin; a common  term which has no cognates in the allied languages ( tinne seems to be borrowed). stannum is the source of étain,  stagno, but not of the  words.   ,, ‘pinnacle, battlement,’ from zinne,  zinna, , ‘upper part of a wall with openings or embrasures.’ On account of the meaning it is probably not connected with ;  zint (see ) ‘point, peak’ ( zinna, from *tinjôn for *tindjôn?), is more nearly allied. See.   ,, ‘cinnabar,’ from the  zinober, ; formed from - κιννάβαρι, whence also  cinabre. <section end="Zinnober" /> <section begin="Zins" /> ,, ‘tribute, rent, interest,’ from  and  zins, , ‘duty, tribute.’ Borrowed during the  period  from  census ( censo), ‘census, tax.’ The  word passed in the form tins into ; in , eijns. <section end="Zins" /> <section begin="Zipfel" /> ,, ‘tip, point, peak, lappet,’ from zipfel (zipf), , ‘pointed end, peak’; allied to  and  tip. is the only cognate word in  ( has no connection with ). <section end="Zipfel" /> <section begin="Zipperlein" /> ,, ‘gout,’ from late (rare) zipperlîn, ‘gout in the feet’; allied to  zippeltrit, ‘tripping step.’  is an  imitation of. <section end="Zipperlein" /> <section begin="Zirbel" /> ',, in ',. ‘pineal gland,’ from zirbel-, in zirbelwint, ‘whirlwind'; allied to  zirben, ‘to move in a circle, whirl,’  zerben,  tearflian, ‘to turn.’ The  root tarb, ‘to whirl,’ cannot be traced farther back. <section end="Zirbel" /> <section begin="Zirkel" /> ,, ‘circle, circuit, company, society,’ from zirkel,  zirkil, , ‘circle,’ which is again derived from  circulus ( circolo,  cercle), ‘circle,’  and  zirc, ‘circle,’ from  circus ( circo). <section end="Zirkel" /> ,, ‘to chirp,’ only; a recent onomatop. form. So too ',, ‘to whisper,’ and ', , ‘to hiss, whiz'; only; in , zispezen, , ‘hissing.’ <section begin="Zistag" /> , see. <section end="Zistag" /> <section begin="Zither" /> ', ',, ‘guitar, zither’; formed like the  cithara, zitera, , from the   cithara. has only zitôle,, ‘zither,’ from citole, which, like  cétera, comes from  cîthara. and guitarra, whence  guitare, , ‘guitar,’ is, on the other hand, derived from  κιθάρα. <section end="Zither" /> <section begin="Zitrone" /> ', ',, ‘citron,’ only, from  citron, which is borrowed from - κίτρον. The origin of the latter word (the East?) is unknown. <section end="Zitrone" /> <section begin="Zitter" /> ', ',, ‘thill, shaft,’ from the  zieter,  ziotar, zieter,  and. The latter can hardly represent *ziohtar (allied to ) on account of teóder,  tether,  tjóðr, ‘rope.’ The unintelligible  word was popularly, but wrongly, connected with. <section end="Zitter" /> <section begin="Zitteroch" /> ,, ‘herpetic eruption,’ from the  ziteroch,  zittaroh (hh),  (ttr remains unpermutated as in ); corresponding to  tëter,  tetter, to tetter. Allied in the non- languages to dadru, dadruka, ‘cutaneous eruption,’  dedervine, ‘tether, scab,’ and  derbiosus (from derdviosus?). tëter is based like dadru on an Aryan <section end="Zitteroch" />
