Arabic term or phrase: محفظة
Hi everyone,

Again, a Libyan text. I know this generally means wallet, but I don't know in this context with the raw tobacco being filled into it, what it means.

إلا أن عكاز الجد دخل برقبته وسحبه قليلا إلى الأمام وقليلاً إلى الخلف، فسكت وانهمك في تزويد محفظة الجد بالنفة.

Thank you!

The person who purchases the tobacco, if they own a tobacco pouch, will then transfer the tobacco from the plastic pouch to their leather one.
