arany

== Hungarian == === Etymology === From Proto-Ugric *θarańa (“gold, copper”), earlier *sarańa, compare Komi-Zyrian зарни (zarńi, “gold”), Eastern Mansi тарань (taranʹ), Eastern Khanty лорня̆ (lornjă, “copper”), Erzya сырне (sïrne). The Ugric word is probably a borrowing of Iranian origin, compare Avestan 𐬰𐬀𐬭𐬀𐬦𐬀 (zarańa), Old Persian 𐎭𐎼𐎴𐎡𐎹 (d-r-n-i-y /⁠daraniya-⁠/), Persian زر (zar, “gold”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈɒrɒɲ] Hyphenation: arany Rhymes: -ɒɲ === Noun === arany (countable and uncountable, plural aranyak) gold (elemental metal of great value) gold (coin made of gold) Synonyms: aranyérme, aranypénz, dukát 1872, Mór Jókai, Az arany ember[1] (Timar’s Two Worlds),[2] part 1, chapter 10, translated by Mrs. Hegan Kennard: gold medal Synonym: aranyérem ==== Declension ==== The accusative of the surname Arany (most notably of János Arany) is Aranyt (as opposed to the common noun form aranyat).
