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”.
