Pronunciation
[edit]Proper noun
[edit]Gmund n (proper noun, genitive Gmunds or (optionally with an article) Gmund, plural Gmund)
- A component in German place names; typically indicative of a settlement being situated at an estuary (the mouth of a river). Most commonly found as part of place names in Bavaria and Austria (though not strictly a dialectal feature of Austrian German or Bavarian; place names based on this word are found as far north as Hesse).
