| This is a term used in the Khattan Emirate to refer to the Procession at night. Namely, the Procession (a ring around Sinai) appears to be split into two parts at night, as Sinai's shadow is cast on the ring. The shorter section is known as the Dagger, while the longer one is known as the Scimitar. As the night progresses, the "Dagger" gets longer, while the "Scimitar" shortens, until the two switch places.
