Number: 1219
Proto-Semitic: *hVd_Vy/w-
Meaning: to be mad, talk without sense; produce incoherent sounds (in one's sleep)
Akkadian: azû (h_azû, asû) 'to produce unnatural sounds' OB on [CAD a2 528], [AHw 92] (translated as 'seufzen, jappen')
Hebrew: hāzā 'to pant in its sleep (dog)' [KB 243]. Hapax in Is 56:10
Syrian Aramaic: hdy [PS 1:973] (not in Brock)
Arabic: hd_w 'battre la campagne, dire des absurdités' [BK 2 1408], hud_āʔ- 'délire' [ibid.]
Gurage: ENN ažažät 'one who acts mad' [LGur 123]; EZ̆A MUH MSQ SOD zazza, CHA ENN GYT zasa, END zassaʔa 'to act mad, act crazily, talk nonsense' [ibid.]. With haplology of the initial vowel <*hV-, and -z-> -s- in part of the examples due to dissimilation?
Mehri: hǝd_ (rare) 'to talk too much, to buzz (hornet)' [JM 153]
Jibbali: héd_é 'to be delirious, talk without sense, talk in one's sleep' [JJ 95]. Cf. hɛzzún 'mindlessly violent, psychopathic' [ibid. 100] (a variant root)
Notes: Meanings very diverse making a reconstructed semantics somewhat obscure. The GUR examples probably represent a reduplicated stem *zaza <*hazaza, with a haplology of the initial vowel <*hV- (retained, however, in ENN ažažät) and -z-> -s- in part of the examples to be explained (dissimilation?); note a somewhat strange coincidence of unexpected -s- in some of GUR and AKK asû. [Fr 40]: *-hd_iy- 'ansare' (ARB, HBR, AKK); [AHw 92]: AKK, ARB, HBR; [KB 243]: HBR, SYR, ARB
