gwnd

Etymology 1
Akin to Manichean 🇨🇬.

Horn following Nöldeke (orally) connects with 🇨🇬, but this is doubtful by the usual sound correspondences.

Possibly also the same as the word below for a testicle; the meaning “ball” or “lump” could have developed like the 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, which Johnny Cheung and Adriano V. Rossi find most plausible.

Since it is only found in Persian and Parthian, probably a word, as Nöldeke (earlier),  and Cheung contend, compare 🇨🇬, the basic meaning of the root  being related pan-Semitically to “covering, protection, shielding; being secluded”, and, looking on, the root  being related to “seriousness; rough ground; path, streak; a strip, detachment”, akin to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.

Noun

 * 1) army, troop

Etymology 2
From. Compare 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, an Iranian borrowing. One might adduce, not impossibly related via the meaning of a castor-sac.
