Po`el sneeze (compare זְרִירוֺ(ה)יᵑ7 Job 41:10 for Hebrew עֲטִישֹׁתָיו; verb probably onomatopoetic); — וַיְזוֺרֵר הַנַּעַר עד שׁבע פעמים֯ 2 Kings 4:35 ** omitted ᵐ5; Gr Bur think MT arose (by dittograph) from וַיִּגְהַר עַלהַֿנַּעַר.
זָרַר an unused root, i.q. Arab. زَرَّ to bind together, as with buckles, to buckle; a kindred root to זוּר No. I, also צָרַר, צוּר. Hence the nouns זֵר, זַרְזִיר. In Chaldee there occurs זְרַו to bind, originating in the quadril. זרזר.
II.
זָרַר prop. to scatter; like the Arab. ذَرَّ: kindred roots זָרָה, זָרַע, זָרַק. Hence
Poel זוֹרֵר to sneeze, in doing which the particles of mucus are scattered from the nostrils, 2 Kings 4:35. Comp. Ch. זְרֵיר sneezing; see Schult. ad Job 41:10.
