خرج من تحت السوقمة
this is from a short story i am reading at the moment it crops up several times. I have found a reference that says it refers to a large tree with overhanging branches that give shade usually found in the middle of a souq.
However I have also been told it is a particular type of tree. The author is Omani if that helps.

Yes Steve, such tree used to be sit down, in Old rural Egyptian and Arab world for memorizing the Holy Quran. Exceedingly sorrowfully such scenes have erupted to come to eyes in appearance. what makes the One factually sorrowful!

الجُمَّيْز
(وضعتها مشكولة للبيان)ـ
وهي شجرة رائعة الثمار تذكرني بأيام الصبا في سوريا
ثمارها تستوي على ضوء القمر كما يقولون فتسمع طقطقتها في الليل
وحبتها مثل قدِّ حبة الكرز لونها برتقالي عسلي وبدون بذر
وهي شجرة معمرة وظلالها وارفة يطيب الجلوس تحتها
is one fo the references i found.
the story makes reference to sittng in its shade learning the Qur'an.
