Talk:मंदा

spelling / pronunciation ?

@AryamanA Hello, the dictionaries I'm looking at (McGregor and Bahri) have this word as 'मंद', with Bahri giving 'मंदा' as "(a) slow, etc. = मंद". What I think happened here is that the Sanskrit-derived मंद got conflated with Persian مانده‎ (Urdu ماندہ), with somewhat similar meaning. Does that make sense?
