=Gul´chenraz=, surnamed “Gundogdi” (“morning”), daughter of Malek-al-salem, king of Georgia, to whom Fum-Hoam, the mandarin, relates his numerous and extraordinary transformations, or rather metempsychoses.—T. S. Gueulette, _Chinese Tales_, (1723). =Gul´chenrouz=, son of Ali Hassan (brother of the Emir´ Fakreddin); the “most delicate and lovely youth in the whole world.” He could “write with precision, paint on vellum, sing to the lute, write poetry, and dance to perfection; but could neither hurl the lance nor curb the steed.” Gulchenrouz was betrothed to his cousin Nouron´ihar, who loved “even his faults;” but they never married, for Nouronihar became the wife of the Caliph Vathek.—W. Beckford, _Vathek_ (1784). Even beggars, in soliciting alms, will give utterance to some appropriate passage from the _Gulistan_.—J. J. Grandville. =Gul´liver= (_Lemuel_), first a surgeon, then a sea-captain of several ships. He gets wrecked on the coast of Lilliput, a country of pygmies. Subsequently he is thrown among the people of Brobdingnag, giants of tremendous size. In his next voyage he is driven to Lapu´ta, an empire of quack pretenders to science and knavish projectors. And in his fourth voyage he visits the Houyhnhnms [_Whin´.nms_], where horses are the dominant powers.—Dean Swift, _Travels in Several Remote Nations_ ... _by Lemuel Gulliver_ (1726). =Gulna´rê= (3 _syl._), daughter of Faras´chê (3 _syl._), whose husband was king of an under-sea empire. A usurper drove the king, her father, from his throne, and Gulnarê sought safety in the Island of the Moon. Here she was captured, made a slave, sold to the king of Persia, and became his favorite, but preserved a most obstinate and speechless silence for twelve months. Then the king made her his wife, and she told him her history. In due time a son was born, whom they called Beder (“the full moon”). Gulnarê says that the under-sea folk are never wetted by the water, that they can see as well as we can, that they speak the language “of Solomon’s seal,” and can transport themselves instantaneously from place to place.—_Arabian Nights_ (“Beder and Giauharê”). _Gulnare_ (2 _syl._), queen of the harem, and the most beautiful of all the slaves of Seyd [_Seed_]. She was rescued by Conrad the corsair from the flames of the palace; and, when Conrad was imprisoned, she went to his dungeon, confessed her love, and proposed that he should murder the sultan and flee. As Conrad refused to assassinate Seyd, she herself did it, and then fled with Conrad to the “Pirate’s Isle.” The rest of the tale is continued in _Lara_, in which Gulnare assumes the name of Kaled, and appears as a page.—Byron, _The Corsair_ (1814). =Gulvi´gar= (“_weigher of gold_”), the Plutus of Scandinavian mythology. He introduced among men the love of gain.
