Pronunciation
Noun
rabi (plural rabis)
- (South Asia) Spring.

c. 1885, A.L.O.E, The Wondrous Sickle:...I made out that he would be here before the rabi harvest is ripe; the corn is green enough yet, but I thought that after work I would come over here to meet him.
1997, Kiran Nagarkar, Cuckold, HarperCollins, published 2013, page 120:The monsoon had failed at the beginning but picked up very well later, so the rabi crop would be just fine and the wars they mentioned had taken place a year and a half ago.
