şekel
/ʃekel/ · plural şekelle
form, appearance, look, shape — Proverb: şekeli subay kekelden tüldü "a slender figure does not come from brains". Tenishev and Suyunchev 1989 marks the word as Karachay, and Nevruz 1991 says it is rarely used.
- şar şekelde — in the shape of a ball
- qallay şekelde aylanasa? — in what state are you going around?
- anı köz ilinirça şekeli joqdu — it has no eye-catching appearance
