I didn't know that teki root was used as a face powder source, but I do know that it can be eaten. I think I've heard somewhere that it can be made into a kind of emping too.

Quite frankly, some of --- no, most of --- the dhapur names leave me totally mystified. I feel that it is sometimes a case of something being relevant or understood at some point in the past, but being in the realm of complete nonsense now.
