[Avodah] "Zipped" in Sefer Shemot?

[Galsaba at aol.com]

On this week Parasha, (Tetzaveh)we read וירכסו את החושן - (VaYirkhasu 
Et HaKhoshen)  
(Shmot 28:28). 
Reading the parasha, my understanding is that they BUTTONED the Khoshen.
They buttoned the Khoshen to the Efod.
If I have to translate the pasuk (VaYirKhesu) to English (zipper in English 
is Rokhsan in Hebrew) then I will say "they ZIPPED the Khoshen"
Based on this, the right word in modern Hebrew (in my opinion) for "TO 
BUTTON" should be "LiRkhos". However, modern hebrew uses the word "LirKhos" for "to 
zip".
Didn't they mix between the two verbs?
