Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Syrian text, where the author talks about a sort of land for the dead where everyone is just bones. It seems that this is referring to the leader of the group, but I'm not sure what the adjective means.
خلال العراك، كانت تقف جانبا عظمية (مدقدقة) ، هكذا أطلقت عليها العظميات لأنها وشمت الكثير من الأشكال على يديها وظهرها حتى وصل الوشم إلى العظام.
Thanks!
This name for the leader comes up a lot in the text.
