Hmmm. My entire comment was not posted here. The quotation marks were left off the quote below as well as the author's name (Costain). In addition, my first sentence: "I can't find the definition for this word" and my last sentence: "I only find definitions for 'aliyah' which is not the meaning I'm looking for. I think this aliyyah must be some sort of tent or awning structure" were left off. What's up with that?

Maybe I should. Upon further reflection, it seems that the only part of my original comment that was posted was the part I put in quotation marks. But that didn't happen with my second comment.... Maybe I have angered the gods of aliyyah...
