Meaning: back of neck
Arabic: ǧarad- 'dos' [BK 1 276], ʔaǧrad- 'dos' [ibid. 277] (with the ʔa- prefix). Note ǧrdḥ 'allonger le cou' [ibid.] with -ḥ hard to explain
Tigre: ǯärid '(muscles of the) neck' [LH 550]. Though ǯ- is thought to signal an Arabism, probably an inherited term in view of a difference in meaning and vocalism

Notes: Scarcely attested in ARB and MOD ETH only. Cf. *ḳard-, SED No. 166
