*What* expected "ze"?

The whole paradigm can be derived directly from Latin:

dí:cere > zíce(re)

dí:co: > zíc
dí:ci:s > zíci (dí:ci:s for dí:cis)
dí:cit > zíce
dí:cimus > zícem
dí:citi:s > zícetzi
dí:cunt > zíc

dí:cat > zícã

dí:c! > zí

Only the past ptc. zis is not from Lat. di:ctum, but has the analogical
ending -s (*di:ssum).
