smoke surrounding Explanation: omwalmen = walm rondom walmen=smoke (verb) Their bodies roasting, smoke of parching flesh surrounded their burning bodies - something like that. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-10-22 18:20:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually more accurate would be "Their bodies roasting, smoke of burning flesh surrounded their parching bodies" - but I am not a literary genius. |
