|etymtx=Grammatical information: m.<br />Meaning: [[hill]] (Il.), EM, Orion = <b class="b3">ὑψηλὸς τόπος</b>.<br />Derivatives: From [[Γόννος]], <b class="b3">*Γοῦνος</b> perhaps the name <b class="b3">Γουνεύς Β</b> 748, s. Boßhardt Nomina auf <b class="b3">-ευς</b> 111f. -<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]<br />Etymology: Compared with Thessal. PN [[Γόννος]] ([[Γόννοι]], [[Γοννοῦσσα]]), which suggests <b class="b3">*γονϜος</b>, but the development of <b class="b3">-νϜ-</b> is uncertain (Buck, Gr. Dial. $54). Since antiquity (EM) derived from [[γόνυ]], which is improbable. The comparison with Russ. <b class="b2">gumnó</b> [[threshing-floor]] (Pisani, Rend. Acc. Lincei 6: 4, 359f.) is not convincing; s. Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. v. - Also [[γῶνος]] H. and [[χῶνος]] H., so clearly Pre-Greek. Fur. 138 further mentions material from Sardinia (Gonnos, Gonni), Berber, Basque and Caucasian.
