Υλαγγυλάγκη is a hapax legomenon of Katharevousa Greek.
It is a Hellenized rendition of Ylang-ylang, which has been adopted as a loanword (υλάνγκ-υλάνγκ or υλάγκ-υλάγκ) in everyday Greek.
The word occurs only once in “Psychology of a Syriot husband”, a 1894 short story by Emmanouil Roidis and it was probably coined by him.[1]
An alternate spelling of the word (υλαγκυλάγκη instead of υλαγγυλάγκη) occurs in a different edition of Roidis' story and is probably only a typographical error.[2]
