kol´ar , kol´ẽr :
(1) ( נטיפה , neṭı̄phāh , plural נטיפות , neṭı̄phōth , literally, "drops," from נטף , nāṭaph , "to drop"). Judges 8:26 includes neṭı̄phōth among the spoils taken from the Midianites and Ishmaelites; the Revised Version (British and American) "pendants," the King James Version "collars." Ḳimḥi at the place suggests "perfume-dropper."
(2) ( פה , peh , literally, "mouth"). In Job 30:18 the word is used to indicate the collar band, or hole of a robe, through which the head was inserted. Job, in describing his suffering and writhing, mentions the disfiguring of his garment, and suggests that the whole thing feels as narrow or close-fitting as the neckband, or perhaps that in his fever and pains he feels as if the neckband itself is choking him.
(3) ( צינוק , cı̄nōḳ , Jeremiah 29:26 , "stocks"; the Revised Version (British and American) "shackles," which see; the Revised Version, margin "collar"). An instrument of torture or punishment.

the rendering of one Gr. and two Heb. words in the Auth. Vers. 1. פֶּה ( peh, Job 30:18; where, however, some merely read כְּמוֹ, as), properly signifies a mouth, in which sense it often occurs, and is hence applied to any aperture or orifice. (See Mouth).
It is frequently applied elsewhere (as in the passage cited) to the opening of a garment that closes around the. neck, such as the tunic ( Exodus 39:23, Psalms 133:2). See EPHOD. 2. נְטַיפוֹת ( netiphoth', drops, Judges 8:26), "collars," mentioned among the spoils of the Midianites, were a peculiar kind of pendant, or ear-drop, probably of pearls, and hence different from the ordinary ear-ring (q.v.). The same term occurs in the list of female attire in Isaiah 3:19, where it is translated "chains" (q.v.). 3. " Ιμας ( Sirach 33:26), a thong, i.e. strap for harnessing a beast of burden to the yoke (q.v.).
