Some see an Indogermanic _r_ or _l_ in Ossetic _zili0n_ or 
_zelun_ "turn". In that case the Armenian _cir_ "circle"
would become a better possibility as well as the Swiss 
_chi^re-n_ "bend sidewards and overturn".  

You have probably Greek _guros_ "circle" in mind. I 
cannot help you in this respect. I do not know if there 
is a relation with _Kehre_. 

Kindest regards,
Henk
