Etymology
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”).
