Although perhaps ultimately etymologically related to ṣdd #1, this has been separated since it is limited to Jewish texts and its proximate etymology is clearly the Hebrew noun "side".
In JBA D- and C- stem forms are combined in a single grammatical form.
One cannot help but suspect that the LJLA examples are at least in part a word play on the Biblical Hebrew form וְיָצָא.
