##### Declension
### Etymology 3

Likely an Iranian loanword together with خُرْج (ḵurj, “saddlebag”), the plural of which is formed like of the present satchel name peculiarly خِرَجَة (ḵiraja), parallelled in variation by Old Armenian քուրձ (kʻurj) and խորգ (xorg, “bag, sack”); compare also كُرَاز (kurāz, “a kind of jug”), probably via Aramaic as فِلِزّ (filizz) or كَنْز (kanz), attested as Classical Syriac ܟܘܪܢܐ (kurzā), ܟܘܪܓܐ (kurgā), ܟܘܪܣܐ (kursā), ܟܘܪܣܬܐ (kursəṯā, “travel bag”). The name of a young falcon is related to Persian کره (korra, “colt, foal”), or compare also زُرَّق (zurraq, “white falcon”), but merged with the satchel name, so that moulting was understood as the falcon being put into the satchel. Bending could be equated with being bagged, is however also present in ك ر س (k r s).
