• 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 (gałapʻar).

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