ܙܪܓܘܙܐ zrgwzʾ a colour, to read ܙܲܪܓܘܼܢܵܐ zrgwnʾ zargunā
Allotrope (?): ܒܪܓܘܣܟ brgwsk
The two forms zrgwzʾ and brgwsk appear as textual variants respectively in Sing 77, 5 and in Yézidis, referred to the colour of a rope; LS suggests two different solutions: brgwsk, meaning "black and red colour" ("black and orange", according to Chabot 1896, ad l.), would be perhaps a Kurdish word (see LS 95a); on the other hand, LS 206a proposes to emend zrgwzʾ to zrgwnʾ, which would be related to MP zargōn [zlgwn'] golden, green, fresh (CPD 98), ManParth. zrgwng id.; NP zargūn of the colour of gold (Steingass 615), zaryūn gold colour, the anemone (ibid. 617); NP, Arab. zaraǰūn, zarǰūn vine, the shoot of a vine or palm-tree; wine; (for NP zargūn) of a gold colour, anything which dyes of a red or gold colour (Steingass 614); Sogd. zrγwn- in the sequence zrγwnčʾh zʾyh land for the cultivation of vegetables; Av. zairi.gaona- gold colour, greenish (AirWb 1680). — Talm. Aram. zrgwn vine (Telegdi 243, 71) ● zrgwzʾ Sing 77, 5; brgwsk Yézidis 115, 11 ◆ LS 206a
