I think, common in English and Hindi. But in Malayalam, it is 'Ney'



There is a striking similarity between Malayalam and Tamil, (also other South Indian languages)
Infinite words are common in Tamil and Malayalam, or with a slight difference.
It is not difficult for a Keralite to understand Tamil. Also, vice versa.

Ghee- is not originally an English word. This is just used in English like other Indian words like Pucca, Burqua, Achkan etc.

Key- means 'what' in Bangla, Assamese and Punjabi whereas in English this is used for opening a lock or giving solution.

Actual meaning is 'soul' other meaning viz. zeal, gist, theme is derived from this. The another meaning is 'a liquid'. Many take spirit for intoxication. Thus there are two meanings only.
