رعد • (raʕd) m (plural رعود (rʕūd) or رعودة (rʕūda), diminutive رعيد (rʕiyyid))

1. thunder

Borrowed from Arabic رَعْد (raʕd). Found widely very early on, so that Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (glʾnʾk' /⁠ɣarrānāg⁠/, “thunder”) is not at all attested in New Persian.

رعد • (ra'd)

1. thunder

   Synonym: تندر (tondar)

   • c. 1011, Abu'l-Qāsim Firdawsī, “Suhrāb”, in شاهنامه [Book of Kings]‎^[1]:

     چو آواز او رعد غرنده نیست
     چو بازوی او تیغ برنده نیست

     čō āwāz-i ō ra'd ğurranda nēst
     čō bāzū-yi ō tēğ burranda nēst

     Thunder does not roar as well as his shouts,
     The blade does not cut as well as his arms.

     (Classical Persian romanization)

• رعد و برق (ra'd-o-barq)
