خرمن

خَرمَن (xarman or xərmən) (definite accusative خَرمَنی or خَرمَنؽ, plural خَرمَنلَر or خَرمَنلار)

1. Arabic spelling of xarman, xərmən (“harvest, heap”)

See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form.

خرمن • (hirmen or harmen or hermen) (definite accusative خرمنی (hirmeni, harmeni, hermeni), plural خرمنلر (hirmenler, harmenler, hermenler))

1. alternative spelling of خرمان (harman, “threshing; threshing floor”)

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”).
