Ottoman Turkish edit
Etymology edit
Borrowed from Arabic شَهْلَاء (šahlāʔ), feminine singular of أَشْهَل (ʔašhal).[1] The meaning “squinting, squint-eyed” is an invention of Ottoman Turkish (not found in Arabic),[1] which likely stemmed from confusion with Arabic حَوْلَاء (ḥawlāʔ) (whence Ottoman Turkish حولا (havla)), with which the word شَهْلَاء (šahlāʔ) occurred in Arabic incantations against the evil eye.[2] See evil eye in Turkey.
Adjective edit

- (of eyes) of a bluish or light grey color[1]
