ZNH

You are never too old to learn.  Today at Mass I learned about zananiah.  The gospel was the parable about the weeds. Matthew 13:
24-30.  The homilist explained that the weeds that were sown were particularly insidious because they look like wheat for 2/3 of its growth.  This wheat in early Hebrew was called zananiah.

Naming this weed zananiah is interesting.  In Hebrew it is ZNH.

The Hebrew stem ZNH (as translated into the Latin alphabet) has a generally accepted lexical meaning of "commit fornication, be/act as a harlot.

In other words, it had the equivalent of F#*! You.  Interesting that it was used by the enemy of the sower.
