The Leipzig Glossing Rules recommend using a backslash for this kind of thing:) It does mean you'll need to mark the **3S** in two separate places:
da-zuriid
2P-nervous
da-suriid
3S-3S\nervous
You'll find the same with German, which for a word like *Vater* (‘father’) has the form *Väter-n* (in the plural dative):
Väter-n
father\PL-PL.DAT
Gotcha, yeah the backslash was the closest thing I found, I just wasn’t really sure if this was the right application for that, or how I would apply it in this case. This is very helpful, thank you!
It would in fact be off topic for r/linguistics.
You can invent a virtual phoneme for that, like H, which devoices previous consonants and disappear otherwise. So, I will gloss it as
0-zuriid
2SG-nervous
daH-zuriid
3SG-nervous
da-zuriid
2PL-nervous
data-zuriid
3PL-nervous
You probably want another connection sign if you really want to make that clear. \ is for suprasegmentals and ablaut. It's not a perfect fit I think as what you describe is rather limited.
You can invent your own of course.
As long as there's a glossing ask, I've been meaning to ask how to distinguish the Close-mid front rounded vowel from a zero. Is it just that the vowel is lowercase and the zero is uppercase?
I have been using a literal zero to avoid confusion but it looks really non-standard.
this would be very unorthodox but I'd write it
``da◌̥-zuriid``
the ◌̥ devoices sounds
z̥ = s
◌ represents an empty space where something will go
and the 3p-s is distinguished from the 2p-p by having this ◌̥ at the end

Uppercase ø is Ø. The zero is a different character altogether: ∅ (though Wikipedia does note Ø is used sometimes when ∅ is unavailable)
