"गृञ्जन" meaning in Sanskrit

See गृञ्जन in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɡr̩ɲ.d͡ʑɐ.nɐ/ [Vedic], /ˈɡr̩ɲ.d͡ʑɐ.n̪ɐ/ [Classical]
Etymology: Uncertain. Mayrhofer tentatively connects this with Ancient Greek γέλγις (gélgis, “head of garlic”) and Swedish kälk, but this is also uncertain. He also originally considered a potential connection with गञ्जा (gañjā, “hemp”), but later doubts this. Monier-Williams proposes a derivation from गृज् (gṛj, “to rumble, sound”), itself from गर्ज् (garj) and thus Proto-Indo-European *gerh₂- (“to cry hoarsely”), but this presents semantic difficulties. There is also the phonetic problem of the extra ñ. Compare, however, गार्जर (gārjara, “carrot”).
