Ajowans

/ˈɑːdʒəwɑːnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of ajowan; multiple ajowan plants or quantities of ajowan seeds.

Etymology

Kelly Says

While 'ajowan' is already somewhat mass-like as a substance, Indian spice merchants and botanists use 'ajowans' when discussing multiple plants or commercial quantities in agricultural or culinary texts.
