անգոն կոռոնաւոր

Old Armenian

Etymology

As noticed by J̌ahukyan, the constituents are clearly from Ancient Greek ἀγκών (ankṓn, “bend, angle, etc.”) and κορώνη (korṓnē, “crown; end”) +‎ -աւոր (-awor), so that the formation means something like “crowned arch”.

Noun

անգոն կոռոնաւոր • (angon koṙonawor)

  1. one of the seven belts of heaven in ancient astronomy
