ἅλωνα
hálōn
A threshing floor; an open, typically circular, level area (often paved or beaten hard), used for the process of threshing grain by separating the grain from the chaff. The term fundamentally refers to the location or surface where threshing occurs, but, by extension in some contexts, may denote the pile of newly threshed grain or even, rarely, the act or process of threshing itself.
