I ASKED ABOUT THIS WORDS AND IT SEEMS NO ONE UNDERSTAND IT, AND AS  
YOU ARE AWARE PEOPLE OF SINAI THEY TRY TO HELP SO THEY CAME WITH THIS  
ANSWEER:
1) IT MAY BE هندوم   as you know some time the bedouin twist the  
worl .
2)هندوم comes from the word mohandam (tress very well) 
موهندم  and Hendam هندام all related to cloth and way of  
good cloth.

something else i would like to mention that the bedouin and all the  
original people born in all sinai (this exclude people came from the  
NILEوادى النيل speak LAVANTINE ARABIC which the Arabic spoken  
by Syrian, Labanon, Palastine and Jordan,so you can ask people from  
those country too.

HOPE THIS HELP YOU.

The word hduum [=clothes], sing. hidim [=an item of clothes] is  
almost the only word used in that meaning all over Iraq and Kuwait.  
It is widely used in UAE, Levant and even in Egypt, too. You'll find  
it in Badawi's dictionary of Egyptian Arabic, Woodhead-Beene's  
(Georgetown U.) dict. of Iraqi Arabic, Matar's "xaSaa'iS al-lahja al- 
kuwaytiyya", Qafisheh's A Glossary of Gulf Arabic and probably in  
other books. I myself can witness it's usage also in Sana'aa/Yemen,  
in Khartoum and even in Libya.
