bread

lekha : bread

The Tarijan word for bread is lekha. Lekha is a feminine first name, notably Indian film actress Lekha Washington.

In other languages:
In Bengali (transliterated) lekha means to write.

How I came up with this word:
Lekha is a mixture of the transliterated word for bread in Russian which is khlep (хлеб), and the transliterated word for bread in Mongolian which is talkh (талх).
