I would "reconstruct" צאן, 'flock' as TSEN, צֵא-ן, from צא, 'go out', with the plural marker N, as in הן

There is evidence of a change from an early long A
to a long O in what became biblical Hebrew. An example:
"Tsan" (Ts = Tsadi) became "Tson", i.e. flocks of sheep
or goats in BH. In both cases the vowel is long.
