The word whippings refers to punishment that consisted in one person hitting another person’s back with ropes or leather thongs. The one doing the whipping would lash the other person until his or her back was cut open. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to this kind of punishment. Alternate translation: [of floggings] or [of beatings]
