Hi everyone,
In this context, does it mean that the urine smells strong? This is from a North African text.
لا أريد لأمي أن تكتشفني ورائحة بولي نافرةٌ ...
Does it mean the smell is permeating the air? Or suffocating whoever would walk into the room?
I was confused because the root نفر is associated with running away/fleeing.
Thanks!
