karhi

See also: kärhi

English

Noun

karhi (countable and uncountable, plural karhis)

1. Alternative form of kadhi (“Indian chickpea curry”).

Finnish

Etymology

Most likely karhea +‎ -i. Derivation from a root *karča (“twig”) has also been proposed; in which case the word would be akin to Moksha кархча (karxča), Western Mari карша (karša), though this seems unlikely due to an absence of cognates elsewhere in Finnic.
