peer agreement (net): +1| الغترة أو الشيلة headscarf/ ghutra Explanation: I think English-speaking people usually refer to it as headscarf. Otherwise, to avoid confusion, the use of the Arabic word "ghutra" is appropriate. I don't know about الشيلة. Isn't that the black veil worn by women? If so, similarly, veil or sheila. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 14 hrs 6 mins (2004-06-13 11:25:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is a useful site http://www.kfshrc.edu.sa/arabian/html/arabic_dress.html It refers to the ghutra as the \"traditional headcloth\", the shayla as \"scarf that covers the hair\" |
