The Worlds of Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

فاسم الجد لم يكن متداولًا بيننا، غريب علينا لو سمعناه، ولا حتى كان يناديه به أحد في البلدة، لا يقال إلا حضرة العمدة أو أبا الحاج..

The grandfather's name was never used among us; it would have sounded strange had we heard it, and no one in the village called him by it. He was only ever 'His Honour the Omda' or 'Abu al-Hajj'.
