Ghunna is the nasal sound produced when pronouncing the Arabic letters noon and meem in certain Tajweed contexts.

What does Ghunna mean?

This light resonance through the nose is held for a set duration and appears in several Tajweed rules, including idgham, ikhfa, and iqlab, giving Quranic recitation its distinctive, precise tone.
