What does NUMDAH mean in Scrabble?
noun
A rug made of pressed felt or coarse wool, usually embroidered, as made in India.
A numdah is not woven on a loom: wool fibres are matted and pressed into a thick felt, and then the surface is decorated with bright chain stitch or appliqued flowers. The craft is strongly linked with Kashmir and other parts of South Asia, where numdahs serve as floor coverings, saddle pads and cheerful wall hangings. It is a loanword from the languages of the subcontinent.
