G-N – ‘expansive receptive container’

Here is the hieroglyphic etymology of the word גן. This mysterious word comes evidently from the root גו , expressing every idea of an object, enveloping and containing without effort, opening and extending itself to contain and to receive, and which terminates with the final, extensive sign ן. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 76)
