pinzir - (a plant)
(CAD P 452, AHw 871, 1423, 1583)
Or pinṣir, pizzir.
Probably from Sum. penzer (a plant?). The Sum. word is reliably attested only in lexical sources, written syllabically: see CAD P 452 for the references. It has no internal etymology within Sumerian, but a relationship with MUNZER ‘licorice’ (Civil 1987a:45f.), occurring alongside penzer in lexical lists, is not to be ruled out.
