kishkeh

Etymology 1: a fermented mixture of grain and yogurt, dried and ground to a flour; a dip based on yogurt and bulghur. Moved from keshkeh which seemed rarer. DTLHS (talk) 00:43, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Most of what I found used italics or scare quotes. I have added two cites for each of the two definitions that do not. On the second definition (the dip), there is also this, so that one is cited. Kiwima (talk) 02:30, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@DTLHS, Kiwima: Persian کشکه (kaške), suffixed from کشک (kašk), so normally vocalized, so kashke and kashkeh is out there and maybe to be considered less rare, and surely kashk should be the main form (as on Wikipedia), being linked already in various foreign language entries, and the ⟨e⟩ and ⟨i⟩, reflecting also in the forms keshk and kishk that should be even of clearly widespread use due to being printed on food packages, is seemingly from Arabic dialects and from Yiddish and at least for ⟨e⟩ also Kurdish and Turkish, and Arabic separately added to this probably Turkish-borrowed كِشْك (kišk) its ـَة (-a) (which is unrelated to the Persian suffix but largely overlapping in meaning and transcription).
