French (Bailly abrégé)
(τό) :
indécl.
zèta (Ζ, ζ), 6ᵉ lettre de l'alphabet grec.
Greek Monolingual
το (AM ζῆτα)
1. το έκτο γράμμα του ελληνικού αλφαβήτου
2. φρ. α) «το ζήτα της Ιλιάδας» — η έκτη ραψωδία της Ιλιάδας
β) «το ζήτα της Οδύσσειας» — η έκτη ραψωδία της Οδύσσειας.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < φοινικ. zayin ή, μάλλον, από τον αραμαϊκό τ. zayit του φοινικικού. γράμματος. Βλ. λ. Ζ].
Russian (Dvoretsky)
ζῆτα: τό indecl. дзета (название 6-ой буквы греч. алфавита) Plat. etc.
Dutch (Woordenboekgrieks.nl)
ζῆτα, τό indecl. zêta (~ Ζ, ζ), zie Ζ, ζ.
Frisk Etymological English
Grammatical information: n.
Meaning: the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet (Pl.)
Origin: LW [a loanword which is (probably) not of Pre-Greek origin] Sem.
Etymology: From Semitic, cf. Hebr. zajit, Aram. zētā (Lewy Fremdw. 169f.; s. Schwyzer 140 n. 4). The idea that ζῆτα continues Hebr. zajin reshaped after βῆτα, ἦτα, θῆτα, is unnecessary.
Middle Liddell
Ζ, ζ, ζῆτα, τό, indecl., sixth letter of Gk. Alphabet: as numeral ζ# = ἑπτά and ἕβδομος (the obsol. \σ\#, i. e. ϝ, vau, the digamma, being retained to represent ἕξ, ἕκτοσ), but #22ζ = 7000. Ζ ζ is composed of ς and δ, so that in aeolic it becomes σδ, as Σδεύς κωμάσδω ψιθυρίσδω for Ζεύς κωμάζω ψιθυρίζω reversely, in Attic, σδ becomes ζ, Ἀθήναζε θύραζε for Ἀθήνασδε θύρασδε. But ς often disappears in aeolic, where ζά = δια, see ζά, ζα-so in aeolic and doric, as we have Δεύς Δάν for Ζεύς Ζάν, δορκάς = ζορκάς:—so also ἀρίζηλος for ἀρίδηλος; ἀλαπαδνός from ἀλαπάζω, παιδνός from παίζω:—doric, in the middle of words, it becomes δδ, as θερίδδω for -ίζω, μάδδα for μᾶζα. Zeta, being a double conson., made a short vowel at the end of the foregoing syllable long by position. But Homer used the vowel short before two prop. names, which could not otherwise come into the Hexam., viz. ἄστῠ Ζελείης, ὑλήεσσᾰ Ζάκυνθος.
Frisk Etymology German
ζῆτα: {zē̃ta}
Grammar: n. (Pl. u. a.)
Meaning: der sechste Buchstabe des griech.
Etymology: Alphabets, aus dem Semitischen, u. zw. zunächst aus hebr. zajit, aram. zētā (Lewy Fremdw. 169f.; s. noch die Lit. bei Schwyzer 140 A. 4). Die geläufige Annahme, ζῆτα wäre aus hebr. zajin nach βῆτα, ἦτα, θῆτα umgebildet, ist jedenfalls nicht notwendig.
