Definition
An alternate spelling variant of 'ganja'; cannabis or marijuana, reflecting 19th-century transliteration conventions in English colonial texts.
Etymology
From Sanskrit 'gañjā' with the '-ah' ending typical of older English orientalist texts and colonial writing. This spelling appears frequently in 19th-century British literature and scientific texts dealing with Indian products.
Kelly Says
Colonial-era texts used 'gunjah,' 'ganja,' 'gunjas' inconsistently—there was no standardized spelling until dictionaries eventually chose 'ganja' as the default, showing how arbitrary spelling standardization can be.
