covering
Peribolaion denotes something worn or given as a covering, seen with hair and with clothing that can be rolled up.
The two verses show a covering in two concrete settings: hair is described as given for this purpose in 1 Corinthians 11:15, while Hebrews 1:12 places it in imagery of clothing being rolled up and changed.
