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.

Noun

جلوه • (cilve)

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
4. splendor, luster, glory, effulgence

     چندان بود کرشمه و نازِ سهی‌قدان
     کآید به جلوه سرو صنوبرخرام ما

     čandān buwad kirišma u nāz-i sahī-qaddān
     k-āyad ba jilwa sarw-i sanawbarxarām-i mā

     The coyness and coquetry of those straight-standing ones last only so long
     Until my cypress comes in splendor with pine-like stride.
