Are you sure it's not Indisrot or Indisherrot?  Either of these would
make more sense make more sense as the division of syllables would be
preserved, which is normally the case when making compound nouns (even
though in this case "Indisher" is an adjective.)

Besides, Indishrot is awfully close to Indishrott, which would
then mean "Indian Scrap Metal" :^)
