Tajik
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Classical Persian غُنْدْ (ğund, “gathered, collected”),[1] from Middle Persian gwnd (/gund/, “group, gathering”). Compare Semnani غند (ğond, “gathered, collected”),[2] Gonabadi غن (ğon, “gathered, collected”),[1] Central Kurdish گوند (gund, “village”), Northern Kurdish gund (“village”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]ғун • (ġun) (Persian spelling غن)
Usage notes
[edit]The word ғун (ġun) is not used in isolation in modern Tajik Persian; rather, it is always combined with a verb.[3] To express its original meaning of "gathered, collected, brought together", ғундошта (ġundošta), the past participle of ғун доштан (ġun doštan, “to gather, to collect, to bring together”), is used instead.

- ḡun 'gathering, collection', may optionally combine with doštan/ dor- 'to have', giving either меғундорад می‌غن‌دارد or ғун медорад غن می‌دارد 'he gathers'. (...) ḡun has no lexical existence outside its verb structures. (...) ғун غن 'gathering, harvest' (not an independent nominal): in combination with doštan/ dor- 'to have, hold', ғун-доштан غن داشتن 'to gather (up), pick up, collect, harvest' may either combine with the verb stem or remain separate: ғалла-ро ғунмедоранд/ меғундоранд غله را غن می‌دارند\ می‌غن‌دارند 'they are harvesting the grain'. With kardan ~ šudan, the result ғун кардан غن کردن 'to collect, hoard, concentrate' behaves like a composite verb, i.e., ḡun is separated from the inflected auxiliary and written as a separate word: хеле пул ғун мекард خیلی پول غن می‌کرد 'he collected/ amassed a lot of money', қӯшун-ҳо ғун мешуданд قشون‌ها غن می‌شدند 'the troops gathered/ massed/ were concentrated'.
