Talk:औंहर

@Kutchkutch, DerekWinters Uh, is this a word? Never heard of it, and nothing in McGregor. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 02:13, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

@AryamanA: Never heard of it either, but perhaps we should give it some thought before thinking about deleting it right away in just case it's a rare or rural word.

The ultimate source of all the dictionary citations appears to be from Dasa and it says

औंहर † संज्ञा स्त्री० [सं० अवरोध, प्रा० ओरोह] अटकाव । रूकावट । बाधा । विघ्न ।

The "†" is an abbreviation for "प्रांतीय प्रयोग", which is probably why most people won't know about it

The Turner entry for अवरोध is at avarōdha 815: ‘ shoot sent down by a branch of the banyan tree ʼ

There is an actual usage example in Bhojpuri at [1]

एंहर छन रहल हौ,औंहर सन रहल हौ

ēnhar chan rahal hau,aunhar san rahal hau

(please add an English translation of this usage example)

Also, there's a village called औंहर शेख in Bihar (Village Info and Weather). And there is a place named औहर in Himachal Pradesh. Kutchkutch (talk) 03:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

@Kutchkutch: Wow, great work! I will definitely add {{lb|hi|regional}}. I also found some other Bhojpuri on Facebook.

एंहर बड़की फूआ, ओंहर बड़की फूआ

ēnhar baṛᵊkī phūā, ōnhar baṛᵊkī phūā

And on Twitter

ईवीएम हैक न होता यार, कौनो तार एंहर-ओंहर सट जा रहा होगा

īvīēm haik na hōtā yār, kaunō tār ēnhar-ōnhar saṭ jā rahā hōgā

(seems to be a mix of Hindi and Bhojpuri; it's talking about the Delhi elections that happened a while back, so that could make sense)

I think ओंहर (ōnhar) means "there", and औंहर (aunhar) could be a misspelling. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 23:09, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
