घुणघुणायते (ghuNaghuNAyate)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
ghuṇaghuṇāyate (cf. Deśīn. 〔2.110〕 ghuṇaghuṇiā = karṇopakarṇikā
JM. ghuṇāhuṇī = Gerücht, Jacobi, Erz.), buzzes (of a bee): pres. p. °yamānaṃ (printed °ṇaṃ) Kv 〔46.21〕. The Skt. ghuṇa, a wood-boring insect, seems probably not connected with this obviously onomatopoetic word.
