זאב = wolf (pronounced: ze-ev)

אדם = man (pronounced: a-dam)

אדם זאב = werewolf (pronounced: a-dam ze-ev, literally means: "man wolf")

מִזְדָּאֵב = a verb meaning "(he) becomes / is becoming a werewolf" (pronounced: miz-da-ev)

 

(see also my comment above)

Indeed, a Werewolf in Hebrew is Adam-Ze'ev (literally: Man-Wolf). אדם זאב As for the other word -- it's an attempt for a verb: (conjugated in Binyan Hitpael, present, 3rd person masculine) He is becoming / becomes a Werewolf => miz-da-ev מזדאב She is becoming / becomes a Werewolf => miz-da-evet מזאבת And so "to become a Werewolf" => "le-hiz-da-ev" להזדאב

Adam zeeb? Sounds like wolf in Arabic Deeb.
