[QUOTE="davinderdhanjal, post: 162858, member: 13600"] prakash.s.bagga Ji, Thank you for the example. It seems that Naamu and Raamu may have been unfortunate ‘words’ to use for discussion of Gurmukhi grammar. The vowels in Gurmukhi are not easy to literally interpret in Roman alphabet hence difficulty of achieving a consensus on the argument. You have better knowledge of the grammar than I have and it also seems that Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Mahan Kosh dictionaries suffer from the same problem for example they often seems to have the same meanings in both, and Mahan Kosh tends to veer one to the modern day wording that loses the intent of Granth Sahib.
