Discussion
Pace SAD 3 s.v. gizzatu, the word is unrelated to gazāzu “to shear”, inspite of the late commentary (SpTu 1, 51: 3) making an etymological connection. AHw.'s translation “hair loss” is not adopted here. The references point towards a muscle- or joint-ailment or (less likely) a skin condition, which both would fit a derivation from kasāsu.
