; z3 is formally equivalent to Semitic z-r. We
also have Sumerian se/i, 'seed',
=================
What about *s_H "to sow, seed"
It is another derivation from SE.
How is s_H derivated from SE ?
By adding HHA to SE.
What does HHA means ? A suffix ?
==============
What about z versus s ?
How do you account for this ?

and se/ir, 'testicle'. I think it is fairly obvious
that Semitic z-r is cognate with IE *ser-, 'flow rapidly,
*ejaculate).
=======
Unproved
Still unproved as usual (Bis)
==========
On the basis of Egyptian z, which narrow the
choice to se/i or sa (Egyptian s would be so/u)
========
For what reason ?
Still unanswered as usual.
============
Egyptian z derives from PAA za/i and sa/I; Egyptian
s derives from PAA zu and su.
Why should a single consonant derive from a
syllable ?
=============
and Sumerian s which should reflect se/i, we can
say with some probability that the word began with the syllable SE (as opposed
to SHE), to which I have assigned the meaning of '(emit) bodily fluids'. On the
basis of IE *stre:-, because of the long vowel, I reconstruct RHE (aspirated
nasals and R could lengthen the following vowel): SE-RHE, 'bodily fluids-fall
down', a fairly accurate characterization of ejaculation. As additional proof,
we know that z3 was vocalized as /si/ by the cuneiform transcriptions of
Egyptian names.

What is your source ?
***
My own work as detailed at my website.

I am asking for a scientific source.

You don't need cuneiforms to know that ZiR had
-i-.
Cf. Egyptian name : Si-nouhe si < *Z_r

You have much to learn about Egyptian.
