{mIr} "chain" has never been used in canon AFAIK.
All I have is this comment in English WRT {ghIgh} "assignment, task, duty" (slang):
KGT 150: As this word [{ghIgh}] literally means "necklace", perhaps the slang usage is based on the old practice of identifying one's position within a military unit--for example, one's assignment on a ship--by means of a symbol hung on a chain worn around the neck.
