Telaba was a term in the Seven Cities (Bisbrha and Debrahl) language to describe a sea cloak of the Dosii. It was also identified as a traditional outer garment in Seven Cities. The plural for telaba was telaban or telabas. A telaba scarf was mentioned a few times. It is unclear if the scarf was an intrinsic part of a telaba or worn separately. At least some, if not all, telabas had a hood and the cloak was normally worn over other clothing or armour. In one instance, a telaba's overcloack is mentioned. A telaba might also have been worn with a belt.
