Ibn Ezra on Leviticus 11:37/אבן עזרא על ויקרא י״א:ל״ז
אזרוע. שם התאר כמו פעול או הם ב׳ שמות והעד ונתן להם זרעונים:
1SOWING. Zeru’a (sowing) is an adjective.101 (seed). It is similar to a pa’ul.102. On the other hand, there might be two nouns for the word seed.103 and zeru’a. Compare, Rashi: “Zera zeru’a (sowing seed) means any kind of seed. Zeru’a is a noun.” And gave them pulse (zeronim104 is a variation of the plural of zeru’a.) (Dan. 1:16) is proof of this.
