david, ishinan

BZH is also used in hebrew as "loot, spoils (n)" which seems to agree
with david's arabic "to set aside (v)".
nir cohen

>> David Kolinsky wrote: A better translation for BaZaH than "despise" would
be "to spurn" which is more consistent with the Arabic meaning "to set aside".

-----------------------------

>> Ishinan: Actually, in this instance, the former would mean: holding up
one's head with an assumption of superiority over someone, behaving haughtily
towards someone, subduing & oppressing someone. (from Semitic trilateral root:
bzw)
