It also means long life. However, the trunk of-palm is-bad augury. It symbolizes torture in view of-Quranic verse: ~“ Pharaoh- said: Ye put faith in him before-give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely-shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and-shall crucify you on the trunks of palm tree, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment. ~-~~“Ta-Ha, ~ verse 71.-
