Translated from French and borrowed from the French musical act Damabiah, it means "Irminsul, the pillar of the world." As far as I've discovered, the Irminsuls were an object of worship in the pagan tradition in Saxony England (pre-1000 CE). As for their actual purpose...no one really knows.
Thus! For today's prompt, I've got two suggestions for you all, though you're welcome to create whatever you'd like. The first is looking at it from the historical perspective, that is, wondering about the Irminsul as someone who's beginning to explore the significance of a pillar erected to the skies.
The second is a much more figurative interpretation, that is, consider creating such an Irminsul for a character of yours, not even necessarily of this world. Insurmountable, perplexing, and designed to pique the curiosity of the character in question, attempt a symbiotic relationship between the pillar and your character, if at all possible.
In any case, I'll be back tomorrow!
