Etymology

[edit]

The sense of a threshing floor is only a metonymy or clipping of خرمنگاه (xermangâh, literally crop or sheave seat) (badly: خرمانکاه (xermânkâh, harvest-hay)). The origin of the whole word is unknown.

If harvest breaks down to what is fitted into a long bag, somewhat of a غِرَارَة (ḡirāra), it may be the جِرَاب (jirāb, pouch) wanderwort, which surfaces suffixed in Arabic جِرْبَان (jirbān, scabbard; belt; collar) and in dubious candidates like Old Armenian գրապան (grapan, hem; ephod; pocket), as well derived from the seemingly perfectly unrelated Iranian uncles of گریبان (geribân, garibân, collar), or obscurely borrowed Russian карма́н (karmán, pocket).
