Or "little moons," are thought to have been ornaments of the neck, worn not by women only, Isa 3:18, but by men, and even on the necks of camels, Jg 8:21,26. Some supposed the tire, in Eze 24:17, was an ornamented headdress.

To tire the head is to adorn it (2Ki 9:30). As a noun the word is derived from "tiara," and is the rendering of the Heb p'er, a "turban" or an ornament for the head (Eze 24:17; R.V., "headtire;" Eze 24:23). In Isa 3:18 the word saharonim is rendered "round tires like the moon," and in Jg 8:21,26 "ornaments," but in both cases "crescents" in the Revised Version.
