√ZWR 
disambig. 
▪ zūr_1 ‘lie, untruth, falsehood’ ↗zūr (1)
▪ zūr_2 ‘force’ ↗zūr (2)

Other values, now obsolete:
  • †zūr_3 ‘master, lord, chief, leader’ : ? ↗zawr, ↗zūr_2
 
▪ zūr_1 ‘lie, untruth, falsehood’ : usually either derived from ‘to turn aside’ (↗zawar) or seen as a borrowing from mPers zūr ‘lie, falsehood, fiction’.
▪ zūr_2 ‘force’ : generally regarded as a borrowing (via Tu?) from Pers. A relation with ‘to compress’ (cf. ↗zayyara ‘to button up’) is usually denied by previous research. One source thinks it is a distortion of ↗ǧawr (> vulg. zawr) ‘injustice, oppression, outrage, wanton deviation’. – Should one also compare zūr_3 ‘lord, leader, master, chief’?
▪ †zūr_3 ‘master, lord, chief, leader’ : has been connected to ↗zūr_2 ‘force’, but also interpreted as a var. of ↗zawr ‘upper part of the chest’, used in a fig. sense. 
▪ … 
↗zūr_1, ↗zūr_2, ↗zawr, respectively. 
↗zūr_1, ↗zūr_2, ↗zawr, respectively.
