Pronunciation

Etymology 1

    Inherited from Proto-Indo-Aryan *garH-, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *garH-, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷerH-. Related to Proto-Celtic *barnati, *bardos (poet) and Latin grātus.

    Vedic Sanskrit जॄ (jṝ, to invoke), whence जर॑ते॒ (járate), and गूर्ध् (gūrdh) are byforms of this root from the same Indo-European root. The forms with -उर्- (-ur-), -ऊर्- (-ūr-) are influenced by the root गुर् (gur, to raise) from Proto-Indo-European *gʷelH- (to throw).

    Possibly the source of later Sanskrit गण् (gaṇ, to count), गुण (guṇa, occurrence), and गुणयति (guṇayati, multiplies). See there for more.
