shekam


Explanation:
The usual term for belly/stomach
or shekambeh (particularly used for animals)

This word is certainly Persian.
The spelling you mentioned should be an obsolete version in Persian.

I checked my Pahlavi (Middle Persian spoken 1500-2000 years ago) dictionary. The word was pronounced as: ashkam; ashkambag; ashkom and ashkomb

Also, shekanjeh is the term for torture and a Persian word.
