Senses
1. turban, priestly headdress — The official linen turban worn by the high priest as part of the priestly vestments, described extensively in Exodus 28-29, 39 and Leviticus 8, 16; also used figuratively of dignity in Ezekiel 21:31. Multilingual glosses consistently render it as a wrapped head-covering: English 'turban,' Spanish 'turbante,' Hindi 'pagri' (पगड़ी), Arabic 'al-imamah' (العِمامَةِ), Korean 'gwan' (관), Swahili 'kilemba.' The two clusters differ only by prepositional and conjunctive prefixes (beth + waw), not by semantic content. 12×
