-անկյուն

Armenian Etymology From hy xcl անկիւն -անկիւն. Pronunciation Suffix suffix -անկիւն forms polygon names, -gon hy եռ-<t:tri-> եռանկյուն<t:triangle> hy քառ-<t:quadri-> քառանկյուն<t:quadrilateral><lit:tetragon> hy ութ<t:eight> ութանկյուն<t:octagon> Usage notes This suffix takes the combining/prefixal forms of numerals. With larger numerals (greater than 10), there exist two variants: a form generated within Classical Armenian (e.g. hy երկոտասանանկյուն dodecagon, from xcl երկոտասան), which is more typical of communities that reject the Soviet orthography, and a form generated with the Ashkharhabar numeral (e.g. hy տասներկուանկյուն dodecagon), found in the former Soviet Union.
