Usage notes

• Erroneously formed demonym, as if Hint (“Indian”) was a toponym. Although not proscribed, there are many speakers who are in favor of the use of Hint. See also Yunanlı (“Greek”).
• Isn't inflected using an apostrophe as opposed to Hint because of -li which normally derives new lemmas.
