Etymology

Borrowed from Greek κοχλίας (kochlías, “snail”), with the ending -angoz from synonymous salyangoz (“snail”). Compare Middle Armenian կոխլանճ (koxlanč), Armenian կողինջ (koġinǰ), which underwent a similar contamination. Possibly phonetically influenced by koklanmak (“to be smelled”).

  1. snail; slug
    Synonyms: salyangoz; sümüklü böcek, (dialectal) koklan, kaklık, koskos, lordu
