Hello,
I am looking for the English equivalent of the name of a plant in Gujarati: ગબડી
Gujarati dictionaries say it is the name of a "vanaspati". The context leads me to believe that it is an oil bearing plant.
A translation of the same would help a lot.
Many thanks

Best regards,

R. Doctor

गुजराती शब्द कोष से (भगवद गो मंडल)  जो ओनलाइन अवेलेबल हैं उसमें पांच हजार पेज है उसमें केवल इतना विवरण मिलता है कि गबडी नामका पेड़ होता है,, अगर ग की जगह प होता तो पबडी जंगली बादाम को कहते हैं

Thank you very much Kiratsinh ji.
I tried my level best with available resources in the morning; and as you pointed out - the name ગબડી gabadi is listed as a plant in online dictionary Gujarati Lexicon, and offers no other clue.

Regards.
Dinesh

Dear Kiratsinhji
Many thanks for your kind suggestion and the trouble you and Gargji took. I think you are right since it is part of a set of oil bearing plants and nuts. I will go for wild almond, if you feel it sound right.
Many thanks. Stay safe and take care.
Best regards,

Doc

My thanks in fact to you and the helpful people on the site who took all the pains to go through the Bhagavat Gomandal: a voluminous set of books: the only encyclopaedia in Gujarati. I had checked in the Gujarati lexicon for the meaning, but could not get the exact equivalent.
Stay safe and TC
Best regards,

Doc
