• գելիկան (gelikan), գելիկոն (gelikon)

From Ancient Greek κοχλίδιον (kokhlídion), the diminutive of κοχλίας (kokhlías, “snail with a spiral shell; screw”), whence also Classical Syriac ܩܘܟܐܠܝܘܢ‎ (qwkʾlywn, “(carpenters’) screw”), ܩܘܟܠܢܐ‎ (qwklnʾ, “(carpenter’s) vise, screw”). The irregular formal correspondence may be due to an Iranian mediation, as in գաղափար (gałapʿar).

Related to Cappadocian Greek καλακόνι (kalakóni, “borer”). Note also Pontic Greek καλακονώ (kalakonó).
