What is another word for bougies?
Pronunciation: [bˈa͡ʊd͡ʒɪz] (IPA) 
Bougies, which are long, thin candles, can be referred to by a number of synonyms. For example, they are commonly known as tapers, which describes their slender shape. Other synonyms include chandelles, which is the French word for candle, and dip candles, which refers to the traditional method of dipping the wick repeatedly into hot wax to create the candle. Another synonym is slim candles, which once again emphasizes their slender form. Finally, in religious contexts, bougies may be called altar candles or even votive candles, which are often lit as a symbol of prayer or devotion.
