Etymology
From հաւ (haw, “bird”) + -ա- (-a-) + լուսն (lusn, “*white”). The similarity to Arabic حَوْصَل (ḥawṣal, “pelican”) is rather coincidental.

- pelican
- Synonyms: թոնձ (tʻonj), փորահաւ (pʻorahaw), պեղական (pełakan)
5th century, with changes and additions in later centuries,
Baroyaxōs Earliest recension (
TR).7.2–3:
[1]- Բարուախաւսն ասէ զհաւալուսն, թէ կարի որդեսէր է․ եւ յորժամ հանէ զձագսն, եւ սակաւիկ մի աճեն, ապտակեն զերեսս հաւրն եւ մաւրն։
- Baruaxawsn asē zhawalusn, tʻē kari ordesēr ē; ew yoržam hanē zjagsn, ew sakawik mi ačen, aptaken zeress hawrn ew mawrn.
- Translation by Gohar Muradyan
- Physiologus says about the pelican that it is an extraordinary lover of its young. And when it brings forth nestlings and they grow a bit, they slap their father and mother on the face.
