هَوْدَج (noun)
Etymology: Uncertain origin, natively associated with ه د ج (h d j) with the senses of taking short steps, to waver when one walks, to walk like an elder person, to walk like one carrying a burden; a reference to a camel's strain.
Possibly under influence of phono-semantic matching of Middle Persian [script needed] (kwpk' /kōfag/, “saddle, the prominent parts at the front and rear of a saddle”), from Middle Persian [script needed] (kwp /kōf/, “mountain, hill; hump”); cognate to Modern and Classical Persian کوهه (kōha, “hump; saddle; hillock”) and Persian کوه (kôh, “mountain”).
Compare also Jewish Babylonian Aramaic אוּכָּפָא (ʾukkāp̄ā, “packsaddle”), Classical Syriac ܐܽܘܟܳܦܴܐ (ʾukkāp̄ā, “packsaddle”), Jewish Palestinian Aramaic אכפי (/*ʾukkāp̄ē/, “yoke, type of load bearing device”) which form passed into Arabic أُكَّاف (ʔukkāf, “packsaddle”) and is itself from Akkadian 𒌑𒂵𒁍 (u₂-ka₃-pu /ukāpu/, “saddle-cloth, pack”), to illustrate matching and influence of saddle terms in the region.
