سَلْسٌ

A string upon which beads, (M,) or white beads worn by female slaves, (S, K,) are strung: (S, M, K:) plural سُلُوسٌ: (S, M:) or [a woman's ear-drop; i. e.] the woman's ornament called قُرط. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.)

And [the plural] سُلُوسٌ signifies also Women's mufflers, or headcoverings; synonym خُمرٌ [plural of خِمَارٌ]: so says IAar; and he cites as an example,

قَدْ مَلَأَتْ مَرْكُوَّهَا رُوءُوسَا

كَأَنَّ فِيهِ عُجُزًا جُلُوسًا

شُمْطَ الرُّوءُوسِ أَلْقَتِ السُّلُوسَا

[They (referring to camels) had filled their watering-trough with heads, as though there were in it old women sitting, with grizzled heads, having thrown off the mufflers]: they having eaten of [the kind of plants, or trees, called] حَمْض, so that their faces and heads had become white, he likens them to old women that had thrown off the mufflers. (M.)
