Arabic term or phrase: شمائل
يتموج سهل البقاع اللبناني صيفا مع تمايل سنابل القمح. تلك السيقان الذهبية كانت في زمن مضى تنتظر مناجل المزارعين وسواعدهم تجمعها شمائل شمائل في الحقول التي اشتهرت باسم أهراء روما

about wheat in the Beqaa Valley.
I have found it meaning "good qualities", but also think it might mean "bunches".

Thank you for any help
