    This saying implies that one may caste an evil eye on another. In normal spoken Armenian one would say, “chahr achck ounee – he has an evil eye.” It is said when referring to a person who may caste an evil eye. Kherr is a Turkish word that means good or beneficial. There are many phrases and sayings using the word kheer: kherr chounee – he has no good (in him), kheer uhlee – let there be good, kheeruh ahneedzehm, I curse his goodness which means may he experience misfortune.
