**The whole BDB entry:** n.m. ψ 80:14 coll. moving things (i.e. beasts) (etym. & exact meaning still rather dub., cf. CheOP 472 and on ψ 50:11; Thes al. √ זוז; De ψ 50:11 comp. Assyrian zizânu, coll. reptiles, DlS 74 f. from a זִאזֵא cf. زَعْزَعَ move to and fro, agitate (cf. זוע); others comp. Assyrian zâzu, abundance v. II. זוז, so even Di Is 66:11; this hardly suits ψ 80:14; 𝔗 זִיזָא worm);—only cstr. זִיז שָׂדַי ψ 50:11 the moving things of the field, as all known to י׳ (‖ עוֹף הָרִים; also in v 10 חַיְתוֹ־יָ֑עַר, etc.); fig. of enemies of Isr. ψ 80:14 (‖ חֲזִיר מִיָּ֑עַר). On Assyrian zîzē, teats, v. RFHarperAJSL xiv (1897–1898), 174.
