boneyard.

deginelío, n. Boneyard; place of tombs; catacombs.

usage: Unlike the later word thanatelía, the Ksreskézaian practice was to honour the very exceptional by erecting substantial structures in their honour. These would sometimes (but not always) include interred remains. As there was no Ksreskézaian afterlife, the purpose of the structure was to inspire the living.
