Thank you. Is the meaning singer for Riya also from there? I have been searching for the etymology of riya for a while, so I would appreciate if you could help me.
Unless there is more evidence, I would be careful with trusting this meaning of ruhi. The root ruh/rudh in Sanskrit (and Vedic) does mean to grow, rise up, climb, etc. but getting ruhi from it is not Sanskrit. (Sanskrit has a strong ablaut system which would make the first vowel -o- in this context, and neither do I recognize the feminine formation in -i.) It is certainly possible that in some modern Indian language that I do not know ruhi does mean ascending, but I do not think it is a word in Sanskrit.
I am also not clear where the many of the other meanings you quoted come from, and I have my doubts ... are they all from the same book?
