Tsicha
and Ziha
Personal name used for two individuals or clans among the Nethinim, likely referencing a concept of 'parchedness' or 'dryness' but functioning predominantly as a proper noun within biblical lists. Its lexical form suggests a feminine derivation of an adjective meaning 'dry, parched,' but as a name, it does not indicate an explicit gender or role beyond its occurrence in genealogical/temple servant lists.
