καλακόνι

Cappadocian Greek

Etymology

Related to Old Armenian գայլիկոն (gaylikon), possibly borrowed from it.[1][2] Karolides compares with Sanskrit शल्य (śalya, “arrow”)[3], but the comparison is unconvincing[2].

Noun

καλακόνι (kalakóni) [4][5][6]

  1. (Pharasa) borer, gimlet (tool for cutting holes)

Derived terms

  • καλακονίζω (kalakonízō)
