Noun

IPA: /ɡe.rá.ni.on/, /ʝeˈra.ni.on/, /ʝeˈra.ni.on/, /ɡe.rá.ni.on/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ɡeˈra.ni.on/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ʝeˈra.ni.on/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ʝeˈra.ni.on/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ʝeˈra.ni.on/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From γέρανος (géranos, “crane”) + -ιον (-ion, diminutive suffix). The reference to cranes in the plant names is due to the elongated fruits of these plants, which have a characteristic shape reminiscent of the elongated bill of a bird such as a crane (see picture). Compare English storksbill, Dutch reigersbek, ooievaarsbek.
