Is "Sikhni" an appropriate word to refer to Sikh women?

Is "Sikhni" an appropriate word to refer to Sikh girls or is it a slur as I've only heard non-Sikhs using Sikhni.

What about Buddi used to describe a wife? Far worse imo.

No Guru ji only has SIKHS no matter what gender . If you want to talk about a sikh Female you can call her a Sikh Bibi , or if Khalsa then Kaur or Singhni

I never heard any gharwala calling gharwali "Buddi" in punjabi culture - too odd. It is actually "budd-ri" used as offensive to call old aged person. It is called in vain to address old person - mother/grand mother aged - over 70+.
