This Frequency code is inherited from the shared lemma-cluster grouping with the Hebrew form (זְעֵיר (zᵉʻêyr, H2191)), whose “little” sense can also denote rarity of occurrence; this word's own single occurrence describes physical smallness (a little horn), not infrequency.

Words formed from the same root. They share a form, not always a meaning.
