### Etymology 2

Borrowed from Classical Persian شَامَه (šāma). All descendants rather reflect a dialectal form *شامی (*şami), which may have arose by conflation with شامی (şami, “Damascene”), for which compare the similarly formed یمنی (yemeni, “headscarf”, literally “Yemeni”).

#### Noun

شامه • (şame)
* shawl, veil, headscarf worn by women
    Synonyms: باش اورتوسی (baş örtüsü), یمنی (yemeni)

##### Descendants

* Turkish: şami, şamı (dialectal)
* → Albanian: shami
* → Aromanian: shimii／shimie
* → Bulgarian: шами́я (šamíja)
* → Macedonian: шамија (šamija)
* → Romani:
    Balkan Romani: šamija, šamia, šamuja
    Vlax Romani: šamija
* → Serbo-Croatian: šámija／ша́мија
