In figure he was slight and perhaps a trifle under the middle height, and the haik was drawn close over his forehead to shield him from the sun.

A thin “haik” of silk, like a veil, is used by brides at their marriage.

It was a tall man with haik over his turban, and blue selam on top of a yellow kaftan.
