الأوراق

Evidence

"ويرسلون لهم الأوراق في داخل الأقصاب التي يشربون فيها الدخان"

Remarks

The text mentions 'awraq' (papers) being utilized for secret military communications between factions in Egypt. In one instance, papers were hidden inside the hollow stems of reeds ('aqsab') typically used for smoking pipes as a method of smuggling intelligence (p. 417). The paper was also the primary medium for Ibrahim al-Sakakini's extensive manuscript production (p. 404).
