Also passed into Arabic كَلَّوْتَة (kallawta), كَلَّفْتَة (kallafta), كَلَّفْتَاة (kallaftāh), a headwear consisting of a cap and turban popular with the Ayyubids and Mamluks, that is in Egypt, and possibly قَلَنْسُوَة (qalansuwa), which might descend from the Latin. === Noun === calautica f (genitive calauticae); first declension A covering for the head of women, which fell down over the shoulders ==== Declension ==== First-declension noun. === References === “klwˀ”, in The Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon Project, Cincinnati: Hebrew Union College, 1986– “calautica”, in Charlton T.
