Kulish

Kulish (Template:Lang-uk, Template:Lang-ru, Template:Lang-pl) is a surname of Ukrainian origin. In the Ukrainian language kulish means "millet porridge". Its Russian variation is kulesh which should be differentiated from kulesha (maize flour porridge). The word 'kulish' also appears in Rig Veda, the oldest epic of India where it means an instrument to cut and shape woods in general. Some Aryan tribes in the upper Himalaya still use this word with the same meaning.
