Religion / Islamic Dress
English term or phrase: bonnet
Greetings

In the newspaper Sözcü (Kemalist) today it says that the president’s wife is not wearing her ‘bone’ (literally 'bonnet') under her headscarf.

Since we are talking about Islamic dress I should imagine that you have another word for this most likely from Arabic.

Many thanks

bone
Explanation:
Yes, same exactly.
Such women wear it under scarf, probably to collect the hairs up for pure and proper combination and appearance under the headscarf :)

  -> Teşekkürler Nahit bey. yok efendim, hayır, yanılıyorsun. takkeyi erkekler takar. bu bildiğin bone, yani havuza girerken saçımız düşmesin veya ıslanmasın diye hijyenik amaçla takarız ya. sadece takılma amacı azcık farklılaşıyor burada, o kadar..
