Arabic term or phrase: مجازة
I'm working on an Omani text, but I can't figure out which part of the house this is. They are on a farm.

البيت بحد ذاته جميل ولكن ضيق بعض الشيء، به أربع غرف مؤثثة ومطبخ ومجازة نظيفة.

Thank you!

Explanation:
There's this public website where people share strange words in the Omani dialect, and I found out that the word you're looking for means bathroom. Still, let's wait for someone who is more certain of the exact meaning. Good luck.
