@Svartava why did you change lafz to lughat? They're not even spelled remotely similar. And you have restored the plural alfaazo. I know Pakistanis use alfaaz as an irregular Persian plural but do you have an attestation for the one with -o? 178.120.22.29 12:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@نعم البدل could you check out the recent edits to लफ़्ज़, shukriya. 178.120.22.29 12:48, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
अल्फ़ाज़ों is easily attested. Regarding lugat, that was a simple error as I was looking for that in an Urdu dictionary and mistakenly thought I was editing the same word's entry as well, thanks for the fix! Svartava (talk) 13:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Svartava I'm happy to help, आपका स्वागत है। It is? Persian (irregular) plurals in Hindi behave differently from the default plural. Do you have any citations in Hindi or Urdu? 178.120.22.29 13:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, they are irregular. There are number of usages of अल्फ़ाज़ों found if you look on the internet or google books. I don't know for Urdu but it is definitely well-attested in Hindi. Svartava (talk) 14:38, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Svartava I see. Wouldn't it be redundant if अल्फ़ाज़ is already pluralized? To give an example विडियोज़ is a plural some Hindi speakers use, but I've never heard or read विडियोज़ों. 178.120.22.29 15:18, 28 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
