Meaning: 'kid'

Akkadian: gadû 'male kid' [CAD g 9] (NB), [AHw. 273] (LB). // Widely used in economic texts instead of earlier urīṣu and mašgallu. Thought to be borrowed from WS by both sources.

Ugaritic: gdy (gd) 'cabrito' [DLU 144-5]. // A rare term found in a small number of cultic and administrative texts. Supposedly attested also in two literary passages (rḥ gdm wʔanhbm 'the smell of gd-m and ʔanhb-m' 1.3 II 2 and gd b ḥlb ʔannh̊ b h̊mʔat 'gd in milk, ʔannh̊ in cream' 1.23:14), but rendered as 'coriandro' in [DLU 39]. Cf. further [Renfroe 80, 104], [Sasson 402-3], [Del Olmo Sheep 186-7].

Phoenician: gdʔ 'goat' [T 63], [Krah. 136]. // Hapax in KAI 69.9 (bʔmr ʔm bgdʔ 'for a lamb or a kid'). Vocalized as gade in Phoenulus 1017.

Hebrew: gǝdī 'kid (of goat or sheep)' [KB 178], gǝdiyyā 'kid' [ibid.]; pB. 'kid; young animal' [Ja. 211], gǝdiyyā 'she-kid' [ibid. 212]. // Usually in the combination gǝdī ʕizzīm 'kid of the goats'. The fem. form only in Cant 1.8 (cf. [Pope Song 333]).

Aramaic: Anc. gdh 'goat' [HJ 213]. // In KAI 223A:2 (fragmentary) ...nḳn gdh wʔl yš...; a reconstruction wšbʕ ʕzn yhynḳn gdh wʔl yšbʕ 'seven goats will suckle a kid and he will not be sated' can be safely deduced from similar passages in Sefire and Tell Fakhariyye (cf. [Fitzmyer 122-3]). // Off. gdy 'kid' [HJ 1239]. // In Aḥiq 209 (myt gdyky 'your kid is dead'), cf. [PY XXIX].

Judaic Aramaic: gǝdī (det. gadyā) 'kid, in gen. young animal; the Capricorn' [Ja. 211], [Levy WTM I 301]; gǝdī (det. gdyyh) 'kid' [Sok. 121].

Notes: Gez. gadǝy 'Capricorn' (sign of Zodiac) [LGz. 183] and Amh. žädi, žäǯi 'kid (young goat)' [K 1871] are obviousl Arb. loans. // [DRS 100]: *gady- (Akk., Ugr., Pho., Hbr., Arb., Arm.); [KB 178]: Hbr., Ugr., Arm., Arb., Akk.; [DLU 144-5]: Ugr., Hbr., Pho., Arb., Akk.; [Brock. 104]: Syr., Arm., Arb., Pho., Akk.; [Firmage 1152]: Akk., Hbr., Ugr., Arm., Arb., Gez.; [Hommel 248]: *gadyu (Arb., Hbr., Arm., Pho.).
