صِير (noun)

Etymology: From Aramaic צִיר (ṣīr, “the own juice wherein fish is conserved; fish brine”). Also in Hebrew צִיר (ṣīr, “sauce, broth, gravy, brine”). In Classical Syriac instead with unemphatic anlaut: ܣܼܝܪܵܐ (sīrā) used for the sense of small dried fish in the Grecized plural ܣܼܝܪ̈ܲܣ (sīras) or ܣܼܝܪܸ̈ܣ (sīres), hence apparently identical to the “strap” word found in Arabic more usually as سَيْر (sayr) than as صَيْر (ṣayr), referring to fish so small that they would only be apprehended as a “thread”.

Meaning: brine; dried and fermented river fish, fry (main ingredient of the spice paste صِحْنَاء (ṣiḥnāʔ))
