What does qanoon mean?

qanoon
The qanun, kanun, ganoun or kanoon (Arabic: قانون, romanized: qānūn; Armenian: քանոն, romanized: k’anon; Sorani Kurdish: قانون, romanized: qānūn; Greek: κανονάκι, romanized: kanonáki; Hebrew: קָאנוּן, qanun; Persian: قانون, qānūn; Turkish: kanun; Azerbaijani: qanun; Uighur: قالون, romanized: qalon) is a string instrument played either solo, or more often as part of an ensemble, in much of the Middle East, North Africa , West Africa, Central Asia, Armenia, and Greece. The name derives ultimately from Ancient Greek: κανών kanōn, meaning "rule, law, norm, principle". The qanun traces one of its origins to a stringed Assyrian instrument from the Old Assyrian Empire, specifically from the nineteenth century BC in Mesopotamia. This instrument came inscribed on a box of elephant ivory found in the old Assyrian capital Nimrud (ancient name: Caleh). The instrument is a type of large zither with a thin trapezoidal soundboard that is famous for its unique melodramatic sound.
