Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Sudanese text, and in this scene the woman in a mud hut.
I wanted to confirm if كوة here means skylight?
وبباقي الطين بلطت الغرفة من الداخل لتغلق الشروخ ونزعت الخرق التي سدت بها الكوة حتى تدخل الشمس
Thanks!

I believe "skylight" is not the accurate choice here because "a skylight" is a hole in the roof, but كوة is a hole in a wall, so the translation should be " a wall hole or window".
