How was a Moroccan Jambiya worn

I have read that the rings on a Moroccan Jambiya were for the attachment of a cord that "went around the neck". Is that true? Was it still carried in the belt with the cord used as a sort of Lanyard?

Anyone have a picture?

I do not have a picture of it being worn but I do have a koumaya with a cord on it I will try to take a picture of and put here
And here is a great place to start researching it

"black woolen baldric which would be worn outside of the djellaba and over the right shoulder to suspend the koummya at the wearer's left waist."

Did it really just dangle thusly?

As Marcus says it was suspended over the shoulder. I have seen a pic showing this but can't remember now where I saw it.

I borrowed a cord from another sword.

Rather different. This seems impractical.
