رَفِيعُ الْعِمَادِ
One whose tent-pole is high; an eminent or chiefly person.
‘Imad denotes a tent-pole. A high and conspicuous tent could conventionally signal high status or leadership; the visible feature of the dwelling points to the standing of its occupant.
The intended quality is eminence, not a measurement of timber. Nevertheless, a literally high pole is perfectly conceivable, which fits the definition of kinayah.
