  4. Egret and Dhow are highly correlated species- white one is egret and black one is dhow – then shape and size-wise there are many variants (like cattle egret). For details, interested people can refer to the book by Dr Salim Ali (from Oxford University press)

  5. Dear friend, any language, no matter how international or secular it becomes, has some regional and religious words exclusive to it which can only be indirectly explained to or nearly compared to some words in another language. We don’t have any English synonym for Samskrit wordS like KHADAAU (a wooden footwear) or DHOTEE (male Indian lower garment like loincloth). We have only one KAL for yesterday as well as tomorrow – thus you can never translate “KAL DO TARAH KE HOTE HAIN – EK BEETAA HUAA AUR EK AANE WAALAA”

  6. Excellent discrimination, even GALA dictionary – that is commonly used in Gujarat, has confused the two words pigeon and dove – both mentioning KABOOTAR as meaning
