[Heb-NACO] Deruzim or Druzim

[Biella, Joan]

Library of Congress practice agrees with Yossi's comment that the word is treated as "foreign"--with sheva nah:  Druzi(m).

It is a foreign word-- but is originally Arabic, where the vocalization is Durūz ...

My take on it is that, since E-Sh. lists it as a foreign-loan word, it would be treated like פרוזה, i.e., sheva nakh: Druzim.
