tzingòrra

== Sardinian == === Alternative forms === zangaurra, zingòrra === Etymology === Of unknown origin. Traditionally seen as a borrowing from Punic. Perhaps akin to Akkadian 𒉔𒄩 (NINDA2×DILKU6 /⁠zingurru, singurru⁠/, “sp. of fish”), 𒍣𒅔𒄥𒊒 (zi-in-gur-ru /⁠zingurru⁠/). Compare also Classical Syriac ܙܓܪܐ (zāgrā, “large fish”), and Arabic زَجَر (zajar, “kind of large fish”). Alternatively, a derivative of tzégu (“blind”), in the same way as Italian ceca (“young eel”, dialectal) comes from Latin caeca (“[the] blind [one]”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /t͡sinˈɡorra/, [t͡siŋˈɡɔrra] === Noun === tzingòrra f (plural tzingòrras) a kind of small and young eel Synonyms: magalleddu, magalleri ==== See also ==== anguidda === References === === Further reading === “tzingòrra”, in Ditzionàriu in línia de sa limba e de sa cultura sarda [Online Dictionary of the Sardinian Language and Culture] (in Sardinian, Italian, and English), Autonomous Region of Sardinia [Sardinian: Regione Autonoma della Sardegna]
