Trivia

Etymology

The word girdle refers to a belt or cord worn around the waist, but can also refer to a thing that surrounds something like a belt or girdle.
- This may be in reference to the Shahnameh, in which Hōm captures Afrasiyab in a snare, also translated as girdle, and takes him away from the cavern in which he dwelt, which is directly referenced in the name of the Point of Interest Hangeh Afrasiyab, located within Girdle of the Sands.
