Talmud for Nedarim 1:2

הָאוֹמֵר לַחֲבֵרוֹ, קוֹנָם קוֹנָח, קוֹנָס, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִנּוּיִין לְקָרְבָּן. חֵרֶק חֵרֶךְ, חֵר ֵף, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִנּוּיִין לְחֵרֶם. נָזִיק נָזִיחַ, פָּזִיחַ, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִנּוּיִין לִנְזִירוּת. שְׁבוּתָה, שְׁקוּקָה, נָדַר בְּמוֹתָא, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִנּוּיִין לִשְׁבוּעָה:

If one says to his neighbor: "Konam," "Konach," "Konas," these are epithets of "korban" (offering). [They are gentile expressions, some referring to an offering by one (of these terms); some, by another. With each, he refers to an offering.] "Cherek," "Cherech," "Cheref" — these are epithets of "cherem" (dedication). "Nazik," "Naziach," "Paziach" — these are epithets of "Neziruth" (Naziritism). "Shevutah," "Shekukah," (and) if he vowed with "Mota" [i.e., if he swore with "Motah." "Motah" is an epithet of "Momta," which, in targum, is an oath] — these are epithets for "shevuah" (an oath).

Jerusalem Talmud Nazir

“Naziq,naziaḥ,paziq”. Rebbi Joḥanan said, these are expressions chosen by earlier generations and nobody has the right to add to them. But did not Rebbi Ḥiyya state: raziaḥ,haziaḥ? Rebbi Shila said, also to expressions chosen by earlier secondary ones nobody has the right to add. ¹⁸From here to the end of the paragraph the text is from Nedarim 1:2, Notes 115–120 (נ). But did not Bar Qappara state ḥeres? Rebbi Ze‘ira said, that is a name relating to the High One: “If He commands the sun: would it not shine?”. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, these are Gentile words, like those Nabateans who say khaspa for ḥaspa. Rebbi Yose said, it is reasonable in other places, but in a place where the nazir is called naziq, do I say that a nazir of people with speech defects should not be a nazir?
