"شهلا" meaning in Ottoman Turkish

See شهلا in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

Forms: şehla [romanization]
Etymology: Borrowed from Arabic شَهْلَاء (šahlāʔ), feminine singular of أَشْهَل (ʔašhal). The meaning “squinting, squint-eyed” is an invention of Ottoman Turkish (not found in Arabic), 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. See evil eye in Turkey.
