zɨɗɨr ʸ nm. man, husband homme mâle, mari (6 groups, 21 languages) B cf: ⁿdɨw.
The basic sense of this root is a male human, and is extended to include the concept 'husband'. The change *z→s in Proto-Margi is regular. There was no *l in Proto-Central Chadic, but there was a regular change *r→l in the North sub-branch. All the languages where this root is found are from the North sub-branch, so the Proto-Central Chadic root is reconstructed with *r, even though /r/ is not present in the group-level reconstructions. *ɗ has been lost, or has been palatalised to become /j/, except in the Lamang group. These are common sporadic processes.
