جلوه

See also: جلوہ‎ and حلوة‎

Ottoman Turkish

Etymology

This may be a merger of Arabic جَلْوَة‎ (jalwa, “formal unveiling of a new bride”) and جِلْوَة‎ (jilwa, “a gift given to the unveiled bride”), or dictionaries may have failed to preserve the pronunciation difference. The bride-related senses were long obsolete by the 19th century.

  1. the formal unveiling of a bride in her new husband's presence
  2. the gift from the husband to the new bride
  3. coquetry
