Arabic term

تسعنا كلنا

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Libyan text, and just wanted to confirm what this phrase means:
تسعنا كلنا وتزيد

The sentence is:
...ومقبرة كبيرة تسعنا كلنا وتزيد

The author is describing what is in her town. Does this mean a cemetery that is big enough for all of us, and more?

Thank you.

More than enough for all of us

Yes, it means what you understand but I prefer to say: more than enough for all of us
Or bigger than enough for all of us.
