לוּן lûwn · H3885 · to complain, to grumble, to cause to complain: לוּן (lûwn, H3885) is the primary Hebrew verb denoting complaint or murmuring in the wilderness narratives (Exodus 15-17, Numbers 14-17), directly rendered by γογγύζω (gongýzō, G1111) in the LXX when expressing the Israelites' grumbling against Moses and God; the Hebrew root carries both the lodging/dwelling sense and the complaint sense (contextually distinguished), with the complaint usage representing the core semantic overlap that establishes this as a translation equivalent.
