جونة

جونة

Arabic

Etymology 1

Equalling Classical Syriac ܓܘܢܐ‎ (gunnā, “a large vessel, a bronze pot”). Based on the Imperial Aramaic meaning of a “large grain sack”, considered an Iranian borrowing, maybe equal to Sanskrit गोणी (goṇī́, “sack”), from Dravidian, so cognate with English gunny.

Noun

جُونَة or جَوْنَة • (jūna or jawna) f (plural جُوَن‎ (juwan) or جَوَانٍ‎ (jawānin))

1. receptacle for bottles, for example a wine cask or perfume cask
