Meanings

1. In a pharaonic fashion (especially of female circumcision by infibulation).
   • The entranceway to Tomb 19 had been cut in ancient times through a rock spur, with a gently downward-sloping ramp and vertical sides approaching a square door that had three decorated jambs. In many ways it resembles a modern single-car garage, but with a high ceiling and pharaonically painted walls. 2010, Donald P Ryan, Beneath the sands of Egypt: adventures of an unconventional archaeologist, page 16:
