"-ավուն" meaning in All languages combined

See -ավուն on Wiktionary

Suffix [Armenian]

IPA: /ɑˈvun/ [Eastern-Armenian], [ɑvún] [Eastern-Armenian], /ɑˈvun/ [Western-Armenian], [ɑvún] [Western-Armenian] Forms: -avun [romanization]
Etymology: The origin is unknown. Confined to Eastern dialects, with the earliest attestation in the 17th century. Ačaṙyan remarks that derivation from Old Armenian -ագոյն (-agoyn) (of Iranian origin) is impossible, because no գ (g) → վ (v) sound change is known in the dialects. But perhaps that change occurred within an Iranian language, where such a change is known, and thence was borrowed into Armenian. Compare also Central Kurdish -ئەوِن (-ewin), forming adjectives from nouns.
