Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: زبان‌زد
Greetings,

Please see:
ریشه زبان‌زد ( ضرب المثل ) « از این ستون به آن ستون فرج است. »

Is زبان‌زد being used to cast doubt on the authenticity of this proverb?

Please give the pronunciation. Am I right in choosing to write the word with نیم‌فاصله?

All the best, and many thanks,
