/bokka/
Definitions
1. a small cap — Elbrusoid row 4073 marks the whole entry пренебр.; the label is written only on the 'shabby hat' sense, where the dictionary's own example (ол бокканг а неди?) shows the disparagement, and is left off this sense, whose examples carry none
- bokkangı kiy — put your little cap on
- ariw bokka — a pretty little cap
- başında bokka — a cap on his head
2. a shabby or ill-fitting hat
- ol bokkang a nedi? — and what is that hat of yours?
- eski bokka — a shabby old hat
- bokkasın alırğa — to take off that hat of his
