English (Strong)

probably from the base of εἱλίσσω; a threshing-floor (as rolled hard), i.e. (figuratively) the grain (and chaff, as just threshed): floor.

English (Thayer)

(ωνος, ἡ (in the Sept. also ὁ, cf. ἡ ἅλως, genitive ἅλω, a ground-plot or threshing-floor, i. e., a place in the field itself, made hard after the harvest by a roller, where the grain was threshed out: ἅλων is the heap of grain, the flooring, already indeed threshed out, but still mixed with chaff and straw, like Hebrew גֹּרֶן, Sept. in each place ἅλωνα); (others adhere to the primary meaning. Used by Aristotle, de vent. 3, Works, 2:973{a} 14).
