√SLM
selamlik, reception room, sitting room, parlor – WehrCowan1979.
▪ From Tu selamlık, composed of selam (= Ar ↗salām) and Tu n. suffix ‑lık.
▪ Against what is said in the CONCISE section above, Rolland2014 holds that the word derives from the common greeting, Ar salām ʕalay-k ‘peace be upon you’. However, given that similar formations in ‑lık (var. ‑lik, ‑luk, ‑lük) are a very common phenomenon in Tu (cf., e.g., gece ‘night’ => gece-lik ‘nightdress’, göz ‘eye’ => göz-lük ‘glasses’, söz ‘word’ => söz-lük ‘dictionary’), it seems more likely.
▪ In OttTu, selāmlıḳ is not only used for the ‘part of a large Muslim house reserved for males’, but also as the term for the ‘public procession of the Sultan to a mosque at noon on Fridays’ – Redhouse.
