κερατίων
kerátion
pods
A small horn-shaped object; specifically, the pod or fruit of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), known for its hard, horn-like shape. By extension, refers to the carob seed, sometimes used as a unit of weight (a 'carat') due to the seeds' generally uniform mass. In certain contexts, 'κεράτιον' refers to the husk or pod as animal fodder or as a food of last resort in times of scarcity. Primary sense: the horn-shaped carob pod; secondary senses include the carob seed and its use as a standard for small weights.
