wih" - Literally. "You're not a man- if you were a man, you would have taken your right, and
broken her nose and blackened her face." kssar xamh and axxam wih- can be used
metaphorically to mean "to coerce, to beat s.o. into doing something" and "to shame, to rape"
respectively. So read this as something more like "You're not a man 'cause if you were, you'd
have taken what's yours and made her put out."
