Dear Taffazull ji,
Do you mean to say among the two Kasmiri names listed: कुन kuna & नुनर् nunar ... the name कुन kuna is no longer used OR is now considered obsolete ?
I found कुन kuna in  George Abraham Grierson's "A dictionary of the Kashmiri language"

Regards.

Dear Dinesh Ji,
I have never heard the name "kuna" used for this plant. Nunnar is the name used and it also resembles the Hindi nuniya.  Hassan Shah in his encyclopedic  book "Tareekh  Hassan"  (written in 1885) gives its name as Nunnar (Editor of the book identifies it as Khulfa. ) Its Unani name used by Hakeems is Baqlat ul Humqa and its Unani Medical nature is cold and moist . He mentions a plant with name Kuna Kuch and gives its Hindi Name as Kuchu. The Editor of the book identifies it with a plant with the Hindi name Phain chitr. Lawrence in his book "The Valley of Kashmir  (p 71)"  mentions Kuna as a plant the appearance of which in popular lore heralds a famine . It could be that in Grierson's book the word Kuna may have been printed in the wrong place.

Dear Taffazull ji,
Many many thanks for elaborating and pointing to the error in the entry of कुन kuna as a name for Portulaca oleracea L. in Grierson's dictionary.
This is a great help.
I will remove the name from the compilation shortly.

Regards.

A villager from a remote village of South Kashmir to whom I showed a plant of wild Chenopodium album  identified it as Kuna . A cultivated variety of the same is popular in Kashmir and is called "Wusta Hak". There is a popular belief that  Wusta Hak should only be eaten in Spring and not in Summer and hence it is sold in the local markets  only in Spring. Hassan in his book Tareekh e Hassan gives the Hindi name of of Wusta Hak as Bathua.

Dear Gurcharan Ji,
Thanks for giving the correct ID of Wusta Hak.
I was misled as Hassan has wrongly given its Hindi name as Bathua
I was always curious about true ID of Wusta Hak and you have solved my problem
Many thanks for the same
Sincere regards
