ζίλια → zilia, zills, zils, finger cymbals

Τα ζίλ(λ)ια ή ζήλια είναι αρχαία ιδιόφωνα κρουστά όργανα.
Πρόκειται για σιδερένια ή ξύλινα μικρά κύμβαλα που ηχούν όταν, στερεωμένα στα δάκτυλα, κρούονται μεταξύ τους. Συνοδεύουν τα κάλαντα, αλλά και νησιώτικους και μικρασιατικούς χορούς.

Zills, also zils, or finger cymbals, (from Turkish zil, "cymbals") are tiny metallic cymbals used in belly dancing and similar performances. They are called sājāt (صاجات) in Arabic. They are similar to Tibetan tingsha bells.

The Zilia (Greek: ζίλια), are a type of Greek traditional auxiliary percussion instrument. The zilia are very small like bells, made by iron or wooden cymbals and played with the fingers. They are similar to Crotalum (κροταλα) in that they are used as an accompaniment to Christmas carols, Greek island dances, and weddings and festivals when the dancers beat their fingers in various rhythms. The zilia are also known as: τσίγκλες (tsigles), σαχάνια {sachania}, or σαχανάκια {sachanakia}.
