‘To take’:
tóˁod tezέgod wa-ˀáraḥ díˀɛʰ diˀáḷ nínhi ‘Go, take (the she-camels) and present them to his majesty’ (CSOL II 1:80)
- zógid to provide people coming to a feast with raw meat or other foodstuffs that they could bring home as gifts

- šézged to be taken, lifted; it is possible to take, lift
The most straightforward parallel is Mhr. zegūd ‘to take someone’s animals away by force’. The Mehri and Soqotri verbs are hard to separate from Jib. séged ‘to lead away’, which would suggest *s as the original first radical (assimilated to z before g outside Jibbali). Outside MSA, cf. perhaps Yemeni Arabic zaǧdah ‘bundle, tuft’, presumably < “something carried”.
