"In some regions, a {bargh} made of metal is a {mIv} (which also means 
'helmet', even though, historically speaking, helmets are not necessarily 
made of metal), or a {mIv bargh} ('helmet pot'), while a ceramic {bargh} is 
called a {chor} (literally, 'belly') or {chor bargh} ('belly pot')." (KGT 
p.27-28)

Another type of small pot with V-shaped handles {DeSqIvDu'} is the 
{nevDagh} (cf. KGT p.97)
