#### Usage notes

* Kabadayı records the Hamshen Armenian form գիյափ (giyapʻ) used in Kemalpaşa, as opposed to ղիյափ (ġiyapʻ) used in Hopa, but the former is not confirmed by any other source.
* Ačaṙyan glosses as "fox or jackal". The meaning "fox" is not confirmed by other sources. But note that Laz მჭაფუ (mç̌apu) too may refer to the fox.

#### Derived terms

* ղյափօն հարսնիք (ġyapʻōn harsnikʻ, “name for the weather when it drizzles while the sun is shining”, literally “jackal's wedding”)
* ղըյապնեծ (ġəyapnec, “den of jackals”)
