mythological figure (Demonology), (an imaginary entity believed to do bad things to women, who are giving birth, a creature in a female body, with terrible looks and tangled hair, who has no sister. She rides pregnant women, gives them restless moments, she tries to choke them).
There are various customs to protect oneself from "Elka sewe," such as placing a needle or an iron object under the mother's pillow, as the spirit is said to be afraid of iron.
Cultural Parallels: She is the regional manifestation of a very ancient Near Eastern myth. Similar figures can be found as Lilith in Jewish mythology, Lamashtu in Mesopotamia, or Alkarısı in Turkish folklore.
In modern times, she is often perceived more as a fairy tale figure or superstition, but in her origins, she is a classic protective and dread figure of regional mythology.
Metaphorically: used for someone who causes disturbance at night or has a creepy appearance.
