Persian (Farsi) term

کندوان

Persian (Farsi) to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Dictionary Entry
Greetings,

Apologies for a complete lack of context: this word is given as a synonym for 'tunnel' in Āryānpur under the entry ‘سَمْج’.

Does it indeed mean ‘tunnel’? Is it any kind of tunnel or only a specific kind? Is it just one of those pure Persian words that no one ever uses?

What is the exact pronunciation, please?

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

semej Kandovan is a mistake in the Aryanpur dictionary under سمج (samj)

I guess you were looking for "semej", which is the next entry in my book, meaning "persistent/stubborn/hardheaded"

Kandovan tunnel

I've not ever heard this word in the meaning of "tunnel". However, it is the name of a special tunnel, and maybe since it is a big and important one, Aryanpur has used this word under the entity "tunnel".
تونل کندوان تونلی است در جاده کرج - چالوس.
محل احداث تونل بسیار سخت‌گذر بوده و درارتفاع بالایی از کوهستان وجود داشت وآن زمان تجهیزات امروزی برای حفر صخره موجود نبود وباید تونل با تجهیزات ابتدایی حفر می‌شد.این تونل همان زمان به خاطر اهالی روستای کندوان که در همان حوالی ساکن بودند و مایحتاج خوراکی کارگران را تامین می‌کردند تونل کندوان نام گرفت.
