Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew קוּן (qun) in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, related concepts of music and lamentation can be found in Greek terms such as ψάλλω (psallō • Strong's Greek 5567), which means to sing or make melody, and θρηνέω (threneo • Strong's Greek 2354), which means to lament or wail. These Greek terms capture similar themes of musical and vocal expression found in the Hebrew קוּן (qun). Usage: This verb is used in the context of making a sound, particularly in a musical or lamenting manner. It can refer to the act of striking a note on a musical instrument or vocalizing in a chant or wail. Context: The Hebrew verb קוּן (qun) is a primitive root that conveys the action of producing sound, often associated with music or lamentation. In the ancient Hebrew context, music played a significant role in both worship and daily life, and the act of striking a note or chanting was integral to various cultural and religious practices. The term is used to describe the act of making music, whether through instruments or vocal expressions, and can also extend to the expression of grief or mourning through wailing. This reflects the broader cultural significance of music and sound in expressing both joy and sorrow.
