dark blue

khini : dark blue

The Tarijan word for the color dark blue is khini.

Khini is an unusual last name.

In other languages:
In Quechua khini translates to floury, mealy.

International locations:
Khini is the name of a city in Russia, in the Republic of Dagestan.

How I came up with this word:
Khini is a mixture of the transliterated word for blue in Mongolian which is khökh (хөх), and the transliterated word for dark blue in Russian which is sinii or sini (синий).
