| I get a little annoyed every time I encounter this piece.
It's always the same cycle, I search "turban" because it's very similar
to a turban.
and all that pops up are these;
&
So then I remember that the piece I'm looking for is on a few of the Prince
of Persia minifigs so I go to catalog, minifigs, prince of persia, and then scroll
until I find one with the matching headgear, and then drill down into it's
inventory to find that it's called a "Keffiyeh"
to which my response is, "oh, well, I'll probably never remember that..."
I wish the description was "Headgear Headdress Cloth Wrap Keffiyeh (Turban)"
even if it's not technically a turban. It would help me find it faster in
the future.
At any rate, taking the time to type this all out should help me remember in
the future and I discovered that one only has to type "kef*" in the headgear
search and this pops up so I should be able to remember those 3 letters at least
going forward.
Took me awhile to remember "kepi" for this part too, but I remembered eventually.

| You want to try and remember bicorne - usually I have to search through pirates
minifigs to get that %^^$%@ name. You might want to bookmark this page. It at
least gives the starting point names of some hat/headdress styles with images,
since I can never remember any of them.

I’ll excuse your French as it so happens that “%^^$%@” could indeed be replaced
by “French”.
Bicorne = two horns
There are tricorne hats too (three horns).

You’ll note that on that page, keffiyeh is spelled keffiyah.
(While the wiktionary lists kaffiyah, kufiya, and kufiyah as alternative spellings,
but not keffiyah.)
Finding it through Prince of Persia minifigures might be quicker than searching
the wikipedia page then trying all the possible spellings

That will not do as my French writing is already limited to some swear words,
cooking terms from Larousse and a bit here and there from a few novels. Wish
I could read Proust, Balzac, Littel and few others in original French.

Horny hats will be even more difficult to remember, it is not a concept I usually
associate with hats or caps.

Well, I’m sure there’s peacockery somewhere (bad, bad pun) but “corne” is a common
term in French for angled/folded —wait for it— corners!
Yes the English “corner” is about horns too

Spellings and especially accents are a real pain.
My claim to fame is that I managed to get "Palantir" added to "Palantír".
* | | 54821pb02 Ball, Bionicle Zamor Sphere with Marbled Trans-Yellow Pattern (Palantír, Palantir)
Parts: Ball |
Not only didn't I know there was an accent on the i, as an English speaker/writer
I haven't a clue how to add an accent anyway so would never have been able
to search for it.
I tried similar for Joachim Low, Mesut Ozil, and so on, but they were rejected.
For some reason, Jérôme (Jerome) Boateng is allowed as a minifigure name only,
but as a set he is just Jérôme Boateng. The one that is a pain is André Schürrle,
as he has an accent in both names so cannot be searched unless you can enter
accents or cut and paste his name. Quicker to just search for "DFB" instead.

LOL, I feel ya! Similar to my newly acquired "Kef*", I've remembered to type
"bi*" or "tri*" when looking for a pirate hat.

You can request a change, to add the word turban to it. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
For example, Katana was added to this one:
Fortunately, the more basic "sword" was also kept!

Thanks for posting that, there are a vast amount of heads in the 2010 era that
are really poorly named and I was just too lazy to look for this request. Hopefully
I will get to submitting some.

I requested during this thread to have the piece changed to its current name,
removing a word that didn't belong and adding some what will hopefully make
it more searchable. I would oppose adding the word "turban" to it. It isn't
a turban or even sort of a turban.
One of my first catalog requests several years ago was to change from
a sextant, which it isn't, to a quadrant. The catmin at the time compromised
by adding both words. I understand why it was done. Sextant IS a much better
known term and people are generally unaware of the difference, but it has always
stuck in my mind that it is too bad we need to have wrong words so that people
will find things in wrong searches.
